    1. Hi Steven! I did announce it, but it’s easiest to look under the #BlogBattle menu tab at Winners & Interviews. 🙂 Nicholas and Candice tied for last week! It’s not too late for this week if you’ve got yourself a worm story! 🙂

  5. Man, I wanted to participate but my job has me flying Tuesday and Wednesday Oki time (so working and sleeping pretty much all day Tuesday PST).
    But before bedtime the challenge inspired me to start a scene in my next book, and I got 800 words written when I easily could have settled for 0.
    So thanks for doing what you do, Rachael! I think I’ll be back in it next week.
