At the time of this writing, tomorrow will mark the end of my husband’s 10 year-long vlogging journey. He has aimed a camera at himself every day for ten years straight, marking his thoughts in a video diary without fail. No matter how mundane, no matter how trivial, and with almost no filter and entirely no script.
And I have to admit, I’m relieved.

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?

I’ve been watching a lot of Twitch lately.
It’s not really something that’s worth blogging about on its own, of course. I could perhaps fashion a listicle about what sorts of channels I really enjoy, but this being a personal blog I’m going to talk about something that’s come up to my mind literally just moments ago. About streaming. About being a personality. About the want to be entertaining and engaging versus that little voice that hums a mantra of self-destructive doubt.
This is, essentially, going to sound like a damn inspirational Pinterest board.

Like some lazy kaiju, I rise from the waters to strike!
“GIVE ME FROSTED MINI-WHEEEEATS!”
Gypsy Syl had touched on this in her own blog a while ago, but in my case it’s relevant to my rather long spans of silence here. I’ve taken a sort-of spring break, and I found it supremely healthy…which made me think that this would be good to talk about for the Newbie Blogger Initiative.

blog, blogger, blogging, community, i mean it guys, no seriously thank you, thank you, through wolfy's eyes, writing
Yesterday I touched on the gaming facet of my life. Today, I’ll be going on about my writing facet–a part of my existence that I, frankly, wasn’t really sure was going to pan out.
See, I’m not sure I consider myself a writer per se. I’m even stunned to be doing what I’m doing now with this blog here. I know my metrics and viewership isn’t exactly a barn-burner, but the idea that even that many people read my stuff is honestly a staggering thing.
These bars are filled. With people. Looking at derpy ‘ol ME.

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.

Yanno what? My last couple of posts have been a bit blah. I mean, I feel like I ended them on an upbeat note, and I tried to interject some humor in to the subjects I was touching on…but overall, I think it’s high time that I do a full post that accentuates the positive.
And, since digital mannerisms and behaviors have been rather forefront in my head a lot recently, I think I’ll sing the virtues of the internet. Like a Julie Andrews with significantly less talent.

So I just learned a thing that I probably would have actually learned if I just…y’know…read a Twitter profile or something. C.T. Murphy is apparently a writer for the website MMOGames.com!
Go figure.
The point, though, is not to just only outline my own personal stupidity, but to outline a recent call to help him pull together a column. In specific, Murf (can I call him Murf?) has asked for those who are participating in Blaugust to list their top three or five personal favorite blog posts.
Now I haven’t really been doing this that much, so I don’t have a really large backlog. But still, I can appreciate that one’s time is limited by doing other things. So, in the interest of helping out, as well as in the interest of filling out a new day’s blog post, I’ll be putting up my personal top three posts. Why just three? Because my time is pretty short too, if I’m honest.
This taco salad ain’t eating itself, people.

#ff, awesome humans, blog, follow friday, lovely people, twitter, vlog
I don’t participate in hashtagging an awful lot when I’m Twitter except for the one associated with Blaugust and when I use them as an oh-so-clever comedic device. That said, I will admit that one particular hashtag trend that I kind of enjoy is the Follow Friday hashtag. And I say this not just because I’ve been mentioned in a couple of those.
Seriously, I’m terrible at this Tweet Machine thing.
The other part of Twitter that I have a bit of a hard time with is its forced brevity. And, because I like the idea of Follow Friday but hate the idea of being limited to 140 characters, I’ll be taking this Blaugust post to share my favorite people that I follow. Specifically, those who I have found in my life as excellent and opinionated people. People who inspire, entertain, delight or otherwise have enriched my own blogging and digital life.

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.
