August 2022 Blog Battle
Right-click & ‘Save As’ one or both images to share on social media!
Our word this month is:
Peculiar
You can start writing at any time, but make sure you post your story by the
19th of August
to have a link shared here and on social media.
Once you’ve posted your story to your blog, put a link to it in the comments section, and we’ll add your story to the Battle Stories Line-up post that goes live the 3rd Friday of the month (the same as the post-by date).
Make sure to check back and read some of the stories of your fellow battlers. Leave comments to encourage these writers. And go a step further in supporting one another by sharing each other’s stories on your own blog or social media, whatever you’re most comfortable with!
Basic Rules:
The Prompt Word will be given the First FRIDAY of every month.
Post your story by the 3rd Friday of the same month (this is the same date as the Stories post goes live).
RULES
- up to 2000 words max (give or take a few)
- fictional tale (or true if you really want)
- Any genre that fits within PG-13 (or less)-type Content – let’s keep this family friendly!
- Your story must contain the randomly chosen word(s) and/or be centered around the word meaning in a way that shows it is clearly related.
- Go for the entertainment value!
- Put a link back to your #BlogBattle Short Story in the comments section
- Please tweet and otherwise share your battler buddies’ stories across social media.
- Use the hashtag #BlogBattle when tweeting all the stories so we can cross-share.
- Have fun!

Here’s mine this month:
Looks like many folks are running behind like I am – but maybe it’s not so peculiar for there to be a last minute rush!

Busy holidaying maybe… or combating the end of times as we know them owing to the peculiar drought flooding going on. Been over already and had a read

I started writing. I will either publish it tomorrow (Thursday) or the day before the due date, depending on when I’m able to polish it off. It’s been too long!

Well this is going to be tricky. Almost everything I right is a bit peculiar, so how do I pick something extra-special peculiarly peculiar?

And the phonetic choice of “right” was not me being clever but me having the wrong specs on.

For you something “normal” would be peculiar 😂😂

No time like the present… not Dragon Stone although that’s next I think. More Sci-Fi this time as a continuation from something done ages ago.
