#BlogBattle Week 18 “Dream” Entries & Voting

#BlogBattle 18 Story Theme: Dream

(basic rules at the bottom of the post)

I’ll add more stories later in the day. Look for everyone’s stories using #BlogBattle on Twitter, too! Wednesday, the poll gets added. Be sure to read them all. All the links will open in a new window so that you can easily navigate back to this list.

RULES for VOTING: Anyone can vote as long as you’ve read ALL the stories for this week by 10 PM PDT, SUNDAY. Vote for your top two favorites. Winner announced on Monday! (With as many great stories as get submitted, I think we all need just a little more time to read them and vote!)

If you get a chance, check out the “Blog Battlers” page on my blog. I’m rather proud of how it turned out, and I hope it makes it easier to find your favorite battler’s stories. 🙂 Eventually, my goal is to have a brief little bio available for each battler’s individual page. Wouldn’t that be cool!

  9. Rachel, you have somehow picked up the wrong poem for ‘dream’… here is a link to the correct one… THE END OF THE DREAM http://wp.me/P4UPc5-pc

    1. LOL sorry, I went on a search for it last night, and the one I linked was the only one recently that had the word dream in it. I’ll fix it as soon as I can. Sorry, Darren! I had a feeling I didn’t get it right, but still a great poem.
