#Blogbattle – Iridescent – When The Moon Is Full

It’s Tuesday, and time for Rachael Ritchey’s Blog Battle. The rules are simple – each week you get a prompt, a genre and have 1000 words to write a response, which has to be posted on the following Tuesday. This week’s prompt was Iridescent, and the genre was Fairy Tale. Here’s my take: When TheContinue reading “#Blogbattle – Iridescent – When The Moon Is Full”

#BlogBattle – Coconut – Blast From The Past

It’s that time of week again, when bloggers across the web post their response to Rachael Ritchey’s Blog Battle.

#BlogBattle – Leviathan

This is my entry to Rachael Ritchey’s Blog Battle. This week’s word was ‘Leviathan’, and it took me straight out to sea.

Plus I’mContinue reading “#BlogBattle – Leviathan”

This week, Rachael Ritchey’s blog battle theme is Hair, and this is my entry. It seems to be Historical Fiction: Behind The Mask She had cried when they cut her hair.

It’s also #BlogBattle Day, courtesy of Rachael Ritchey, and this week’s theme is ‘Trace’. As has seemed to be happening lately with these challenges, another scene has appeared from my vampireContinue reading “#BlogBattle ‘Trace’”

#BlogBattle – Silver And Black

One of the things I enjoy about blogging is the number of challenges offered by bloggers throughout the community. For writers there’s everything from sixty second flash fiction to short story competitions, and photographers could post something every day of the week and never run out of different blogspirations. One writing challenge I’ve noticed isContinue reading “#BlogBattle – Silver And Black”
