Where I Write About Things
And Blaugust 2023 officially comes to a close. I’m relieved its over, especially since the slog of work this week has meant writing posts was akin to pulling teeth at times. I’m hoping I’ll come up with something more interesting tomorrow, considering it will be the first day of September, and the start of a …
It’s kind of a shame that social media wasn’t a thing when I was a teenager, because I’m pretty sure I don’t have anything to look back on that would tell me when I got my drivers license. There might be a reference to passing my test in an old journal, but that seems unlikely. …
I took a nap on my lunch break today. I’m not sure it really solved anything, but It’s made getting through this afternoon less of a trial compared to yesterday. So far, my prediction the week would drag by has been entirely accurate. I am still hopeful by the time Friday rolls around I’ll somehow …
I knew there would come a point when even having suggested themes wouldn’t be enough of a boost to get me over, around, or through a bit of writers block. I’m going to engage in the exercise of writing and posting through it instead of succumbing to it today, but I’m pretty sure it will …
The final week of Blaugust starts today, and the theme of this is week is meant to be Lessons Learned. Considering I only just learned about Blaugust, an event that’s been happening for 10 years or so, everything about this has been a bit of a learning experience for me. I’m finding out I still …
It’s the end of Blaugust 2023’s Motivation week, and it’s Saturday, which means I’ve got no structure for anything in a post today. It’s also Pride Weekend in Bemidji, so I’m a bit wrapped up in getting myself together to participate in our local festivities. Aptly, Cat Valente just shared a post on her Substack …
I’ve been a fan of fantasy fiction for pretty much my entire life. I re-read some books to tatters as a kid, because I just enjoyed the stories so much. As an adult, a friend introduced me to Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, and that was my doorway into what I now know as the Cosmere. …
I wish I knew what compelled me to keep doing this. There’s going to be a need to replicate it outside of August, and I don’t know what it will be that keeps me coming back. It seems a bit spammy to post nonsense here daily, but I can also tell that without making it …
Today I talk about a piece of technology I would have the hardest time living without.
I have such a tricky time navigating fandom on the internet, especially watching people become totally enamored of a thing when I just don’t see “it.” There was a point when I would get very annoyed and want nothing to do with someone else’s obsession, but I try really hard to temper that revulsion with …
