Blaugust Reborn and Parsing Being a “Content Creator”

I love writing. Even if many times I don’t feel I’m very good at it and even more times feel like I shouldn’t be even in the periphery of professionals, I enjoy it all the same. A sort of tortured artist, except without really knowing torture.

That said, you’d be forgiven for thinking I don’t like writing considering how infrequently I post here. So, yes, I’m re-entering Blaugust in its rebirth as a personal challenge to know if I really want to be a content creator. But what does that mean, honestly?

And how much of my desire to do this to myself was born from enjoying this very colorful logo?

Well, this is it.  This is day 31 of a 31 day challenge for myself and this blog.  I know that everyone who has been participating is writing pretty much the same damn thing today, but hellwiddit.  This is my first-ever Blaugust and I’m gonna write my thoughts on it too.

Nyah.

Blaugust Day 1 – Heavensward Through Wolfy’s Eyes

WARNING: The following blog post will feature copious amounts of spoilers for the game.  If you haven’t completed this game, stop reading now!

Final Fantasy XIV, as I had stated in a blog posting a while back, has always been an odd bird for me.  It’s a game that pretty much has followed that old themepark formula yet still manages to captivate at the same time.  It’s hardly the perfect game, but it has more than enough things going for it to make it a net positive experience for me.  And so, naturally, I was incredibly eager to play the coming expansion, which not only opened up all of the usual stuff an MMO expansion should, but included my all-time favorite class from Final Fantasy XI, the Dark Knight.

Hopes and Dreams for Blaugust

Blaugust, as well as the Newbie Blogger Initiative, are the things that got me in to the idea that writing fully should happen.  So the fact that things have pretty much come full circle for me with my young entry to the blogosphere has me pretty excited.  This year, I will be partaking in the Blaugust festivities, and I wanted to put up a quick post with my hopes for what this whole thin could provide for me, personally.
