#BlogBattle 19 Story Theme: Musk
(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 3 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!)
Feeling like a Dodo right now: Wild Musk by The Plagued Parent was totally submitted on time. Please read and vote for it, too if it is one of your favs!

Each winner will receive this awesome #BlogBattle Winner Badge to display with their winning story on their webpage:
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!

Musk has certainly sparked some interesting ideas. Very good stories this week. Next week’s word prophet is gong to be an interesting one…
