I signed up for Blaugust on a whim thinking it was a post daily challenge. It turns out there are weekly prompts too (albeit optional), with the first week focused on sharing why we joined. So here's why I joined: there's been a lot of change in my life, and I haven't really sat down and reflected and written for a while. I'd like to set apart some time to do this. I'll also try to post write1 daily, which is not something I've attempted before. — For the Blaugust prompts, here's what I'll go with: Week 1: Welcome to Blaugust Week — What made you decide to do Blaugust this year, and what are your personal goals? (that's this post) Week 2: Introduce Yourself Week — I'll skip this one because I've already written on most of the prompts: facts about me, media I like, my blog name, my hobbies, where I live, and this is it, my creative space. As for the last prompt, my magical power of choice (I've been told) is very boring; I'd choose invisibility.2 I'd use it to disappear, obviously. I wouldn't do anything too nefarius with it. Week 3: Creator Artist Appreciation Week — Art around my home, maybe Week 4: Staying Motivated Week — What achievement are you particularly proud of, and how did you stay motivated to complete it? Week 5: Lessons Learned Week — What is the best piece of advice you've ever been given? What's the best advice you've given to someone else? — 31 days of writing felt daunting, and my first inclination was to plan ahead: the idea was to write on thoughts inspired by other posts I've read on the indieweb (I had a list, which I included here). But I've since changed my mind; I think it's important for me to take each day as it comes and see what comes to mind. I've been wobbly, and I'd like to stay flexible. Let's see how it goes. — Blaugust 4/31 Amended because I don't think everything needs to be public. Just a small distinction.↩ Invisibility is the power I'd choose if I were the only person with one. If not, then I'd choose the power to augment other people's powers. I'd go find the person who nullifies other people's powers and befriend them. We'd settle down somewhere and create a haven for people who don't want to live among superpowered people.↩
