Blaugust 2026 Wrap Up: Meeting My Goals
My participation in this year's festival was never about doing a daily blog post. There are several participants who did hit that milestone and I will edit this post later to share the stats that are being gathered from the participants. My plan this time around was...
Blaugust 2026: Lessons Learned Group Project
I had it in mind that the final group project was August 31st rather than August 30th. A day late is about par for the course for me this month. August went by FREAKY-fast this year. I will post separately about my overall goals for this year's festival. For this...
Blaugust Staying Motivated Week
Motivation, goals, achievements... all things that gurus tell us we should have, track and celebrate. For today's group project, rather than a non-blogging achievement that I'm especially proud of, I'm going to write about an achievement tied to having a goal, and...

This One is Raw: Grief and Connection
I hadn't really planned for this week of getting Blaugust rolling and introductions to contain this post, but life rarely cooperates with our plans. This post is going to be pretty raw. That isn't entirely unusual within this blogging community. Most times we share...
Blaugust 2026 Group Project: Tell Us About Your Very First Blog
It was June 15, 2011 and I was making the leap into putting myself out there into the blogosphere. Back in those days, Twitter was an awesome place of like minded people who talked about their passions. I had stumbled on to a great collection of book and game writers,...
Life Comes At You Fast
The best laid plans... Leaving on a jet plane... This isn't how I wanted to kick off the first day of Blaugust, but life has a way of tipping over the table. Start your engines, meet you at the finish line and best of luck to everyone who is starting this journey...
Catching Up: The Games Version
The past several months have been strange as far as my gaming habits are concerned. I've always been a bit of a completionist. I rarely stop reading a book I've started. I usually try to play through at least the main story quests of my games. But something has...
