Blaugust Post #1
It’s August 1, which means it’s the 2nd Annual Blaugust. I participated in this last year in order to get more practice writing in general. I did a pretty good job of it, and then I moved halfway across the country and didn’t keep up nearly as well. This Blaugust post is the first one in over a month, after all.
What Changed
I feel I have gotten a bit better at actually hitting publish on random thoughts I type up. I have fewer half-completed posts just sitting around since August of last year, compared to before I did Blaugust.In addition, writing a post isn’t really an ordeal. Some of my posts get a bit rambly, but I try not to evaluate the quality of a post purely based on its length. As long as a post contains something that might be considered interesting or informative to someone, I’m pretty happy.
What Needs Work
I’m still lacking in “make post time” since the move. I might have to borrow a note from Bel here and write a post in the morning. I get up early enough for this, but it would mean a bit of a change in schedule. I do get a bit self-conscious about what I’ve been playing, as it’s just been “Final Fantasy” for a while now, and I feel like it’s a bit boring saying the same thing over and over (although I haven’t been doing the same thing constantly, so it’s kind of a silly concern). We’ve got another month to work these things out. Maybe I’ll even play something that Isn’t Final Fantasy 5 or 14.
The Job Fiesta is still going on, though…
Making post time is definitely my downfall as well. At the moment I am forcing myself to write in the evening because that’s the only real time I have to myself. The unintended side effect of that is it eating into my gaming time, which could pose a bit of a problem once the weekend is over!
Good luck with it all, I look forward to reading more of your work š
I don’t mind reading only FFXIV posts, though I know your point of view can go beyond that. You’ve mentioned some other interesting games before.
