Hello! Welcome to Blog Battle, a weekly writing prompt competition! If you haven’t already, check out the rules (more like instructions on how to participate & have fun).
Winning story for the week will earn this badge! 🙂 BUT that’s not all! One of our talented authors, Cathleen Townsend, has kindly offered her time, experience, and expertise to help make that winning story even better by giving the winner a free critique. If your story wins you can contact Cathleen by clicking here. She’s tough but kind!
**WE HAVE A TIE! Last Week’s voting was very close all across the board (except mine, which got one very kind vote, thank you 🙂 ), but we had a tie between these two:
My Life’s Work by David Williamson & World Views by Carl Bystrom

Ending’s horribly rushed as I had to cut it to keep it under 1k words, but hey-ho!
