I had a lot of plans for this final Blaugust post but instead I find myself meanly sabotaged by sea sickness and headaches which is why I will be cutting this short. That’s the rather inconvenient thing about blogging every day, sometimes you got nothing to share but real life. But hey, blaugust is all about putting it out there no matter what, right?
I can’t believe it’s August 31st and that I actually managed to stick with an entire month of daily blogging! It was an experience worth having and taught me a few things about how easily I can get into writing if I really set my mind to it and also, that it really helps to plan some topics in advance. That said, I am not going to turn into a daily blogger after this – I still appreciate the time to flesh out my thoughts and wait for a topic or theme to itch badly enough for me to dig deeper. Some days it’s nice to get home after work and not feel pressured to write or just spend time commenting on other blogs instead. I’ve always put time aside to interact with the community which is much harder to keep up when you’re also supposed to write on a daily basis. Oh and play games, that’s right.
A big high-five to everyone who was along for this mad blaugust ride and congratulations to all who saw the challenge through! I am proud to have been a member of the party. A special thank you goes to Belghast for being the organizing wizard behind this, I promise to add my last few post links to the forums asap! I still intend to do another blogroll update post after today with more bloggers I’ve come across thanks to blaugust. There’s also an AMA question I received from Bel and at least two more prompts I didn’t get a chance to write on (it will happen!). Seems I won’t be running out of topics for a while to come.

Congrats everyone! And keep that blogging spirit rollin’!
LET’S NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.
(until next year)
It’s kinda like the cross-country car trips I’ve taken. Feels like pain while you’re doing it, but a year is a long time, and about that time next year it seems like a good idea again…. 🙂
Indeed. You never know but I don’t see myself blaugusting again anytime soon.
Many congratz to everyone who took part – it is really interesting what you learn from the “cant stop writing” months.
So now that you have written for an entire month I can expect that you will want to buddy me up in Nanowrimo in november! – that’s a easy 50k words in 30 days.
Thanks and no thanks! =P
Jeebus, that’s a lot of folks. It was a fun ride! Congrats to all. 🙂
It was! 😀
I love how Wilhelm’s typo of “Wofly” keeps getting copied over and over. 🙂
Anyway, congratulations on the achievement (and you say you’re not an achiever! ;))
I know right? I like to think of it as a social experiment. 😉 also: peer pressure!
You should probably go re-copy that list again. I missed a bunch of people. It now numbers 75, not including me.
Edited, thanks!
Both of you have forgotten about me, sniffles.
