A Wild Blaugust Appears!

I came across Blaugust for the first time this year a few weeks ago, and as my ADHD brain is wont to do, it lied to me and told me I would remember this thing I was interested in...

So here we are on August 3rd with the first post.

What is Blaugust?

It is blogging, in August. Blaugust.

There are a ton of community resources if you want to learn more:

• Blaugust initial Announcement – What I linked above
• Blaugust Sign-Up Page – If you want to participate and be added to the "official" list
• Blaugust Discord Server – Many of the other people participating are here. You can get feedback, prompts, ideas, someone to hold you accountable... whatever.

Why are you doing this?

I have been shoulding all over myself. I keep telling myself I should be writing here more. Not that I want to, or that I wish I had the time to, but that I should... And should isn't a great motivator.... It usually serves more to tell you why you are bad at not doing something.

Since this came up and feels like a nice time-boxed event, I thought it would be a good way to see if I could shift my mindset away from should into can.

I'm hoping to get the "Bronze Award" of at least 5 posts this month, but if I make more then great!

I have been keeping a list of a ton of different ideas to write about and it looks like there isn't a reason to kick that can down the road any longer.
