Here’s a link to the New Blog Battle page! Make sure you head over and follow so you don’t miss any great stories. If you’re tempted to join us in the battles, we dare you! 😉
Hello! Welcome to the new Blog Battle! This is our first official week with the slightly altered rules and twice monthly story posting (there’s a calendar with all the dates on the rules page). We’ll call the next few months a testing phase to see if the new changes are worthy of our writing goals, if not we’ll readjust to fit what’s best for the battle. 🙂
Last week’s “Voice” Winner is Vex Vaudlin with her story, Silence! Congrats, Vex! Don’t forget to add the battle winner badge to your story!
Now, for Battle 60 “Duplicitous” Stories!
Post your story by 11:59 PM PST on Tuesday, May 10th. I add them here throughout the day.
RULES for VOTING: Anyone can vote as long as you’ve read ALL the stories by 11:59 PM PST of the Monday before the next battle day. Vote for your TOP 3

rachael looks like i returned just in time. i was afraid i would get lost, or at least maimed, trying to jump into the blogbattle fray blind. but as you’re testing out a new system i’m guessing i won’t be the only one feeling my way around for a little while. i’ll be back to check all the new rules and stories later. cheers! – and thanks for checking in on me while i was gone.

I missed you! 🙂 I got real worried there for a while, but I’m so glad you’re back and ready to jump back in the battles! We want you on our side. 🙂 I love the new blog and branding doodads, too!

I MISSED YOU TOO – can’t believe i didn’t say that the first time around. i’m flabbergasted (but hey i got to use “flabbergasted” in a sentence and that’s quite frankly worth the faux pas)! thanks i’m proud of the doodads too so much so i think they deserve a post, but they’ll wait till the battles die down. anyway i’m here to eye up my opponents so there’s no more time to dawdle 😉

Haha who wouldn’t want to find every opportunity to use flabbergasted in a sentence? 🙂 Make sure you skip over mine while eyeing the competition. I’ve been a little rushed with writing them. 😉

What about a duplicitous surfer who is indiscriminate about where he floats. He could lose his voice from screaming so much ’cause well not cool stuff is happening, and when he gets back to his jeep there’s a ticket on the windshield to finish off the wrist day if his life. LOL

So, 800 words in and I’m just missing surfer now…and it’s a piece that’s scaring me on two fronts…one is it may be crap and two the content I find very very worrying from an apocalyptic sense 😱

😀 I can’t wait to read it! Seriously, if you were able to get all those words in there and make a story of apocalyptic proportions, we’ve got ourselves something fun to read. 😀

I could do a sequel….I now have the very chap in mind to continue it 🤔
But you are dead right….switching is the way forwards. I got so entrenched I editing I lost time….this piece I’m doing as a result of your word list is the first new thing I’ve written in months. I’m quite worried ve lost my mojo 😱
