In yet another way that Belghast is so much better at this than I will ever be, I am very very late indeed getting out the wrap-up post for Blaugust 2025. But! We’re doing it now and that’s what matters, right? RIGHT? Here’s our stats breakdown for 2025. According to the signup sheet we had…… Continue reading Blaugust 2025 In Review

Nerd Girl Goals – September 2025
I have zero business trying to set goals today. It’s the last day of Blaugust, and with this post I’ll barely have eked out my goal of the Community Builder award – this is post #15. More than half of those posts happened in the past week. I’m double posting today. And I’m tired, y’all.…… Continue reading Nerd Girl Goals – September 2025
Some Thoughts on The Introvert / Extrovert Spectrum – A Blaugust Response Post
I knew I wanted to say something about this post (Stop Valorizing Introversion) made by Rabbit way back on the 21st, but I found myself really struggling with what I wanted to say. It’s not often I feel absolutely attacked by something that is completely not about me, but this post came out swinging for…… Continue reading Some Thoughts on The Introvert / Extrovert Spectrum – A Blaugust Response Post
Even More Room to Write – A Blaugust Response Post
Coincidences are weird. I’ve been working on my 50 Before 50 list, otherwise known as my midlife-crisis spreadsheet (and yes, I know I’m late, why is anyone surprised about this?). One of the items I very recently added to it was this: Then yesterday, I read this post on Forking Mad (To Journal, or Not…… Continue reading Even More Room to Write – A Blaugust Response Post
The First Step is the Hardest – A Blaugust Response Post
I don’t know that I would necessarily say it’s a universal experience, but it’s probably more common than we think. I know I feel like I’m an oddball because I struggle so much with starting something new – and so does Monocyte, according this post (i have a problem with starting things). I am also…… Continue reading The First Step is the Hardest – A Blaugust Response Post
#Blaugust2025 Group Project -You’d Never Guess, But…
One of the possible tasks for the #Blaugust2025 Community Builder award is to create or join in a group project. I invited my fellow Blaugust participants to write about something they don’t normally share on their blog that they think their readers would never guess! If you’re following a bunch of bloggers, you may see multiple…… Continue reading #Blaugust2025 Group Project -You’d Never Guess, But…
Grace For Everyone But Me – A Blaugust Response Post
It might be cheating just a little to call this a response post since it’s technically a post for this week’s theme, which I suppose I could have just written about on my own. However, I had zero intention of even touching the themes this year (I feel like I have done them to death,…… Continue reading Grace For Everyone But Me – A Blaugust Response Post
Humble Choice – August 2025 Edition
It’s time again for the quick summary of the August 2025 Humble Choice Bundle. Every month, when the bundle releases, a bunch of us get together on the Blaugust Discord and hash out which games we’re most excited about and divvy up the titles for us each to look at during the month. Some folks just take a…… Continue reading Humble Choice – August 2025 Edition
Cozy and Challenging? I Certainly Think So – A Blaugust Response Post
Okay, this is a bit of a delayed response, but as soon as I read Paeroka’s post (Paeroka’s Ponderings: Can a Game Be Both Cozy and Challenging?), my answer was immediately yes. Even once I read further to her cozy criteria, I knew the first game to pop into my mind fit perfectly. So, what are…… Continue reading Cozy and Challenging?
