Greetings, fellow adventurers and bloggers! I’m thrilled to officially welcome you to Blaugust 2024! Today marks the beginning of a month-long journey filled with creativity, camaraderie, and countless opportunities to share our stories and passions.
Blaugust is a time when bloggers from all walks of life come together to challenge themselves and connect with a supportive community. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a newcomer, this event is designed to inspire and encourage. My own journey with Blaugust has been incredibly rewarding, offering a platform to explore new ideas and meet amazing fellow bloggers.
Embracing the Adventure
This year, Blaugust promises to be bigger and better than ever. With a rich history of fostering creativity and community, Blaugust has grown into a beloved tradition for many of us. It’s a chance to push our creative boundaries, support one another, and celebrate the joys of blogging.
Goals for Blaugust 2024
This year, my goals are to delve deeper into creative writing, share insights from my ongoing projects, and highlight the incredible work of our community members. Here are a few specific things I’m looking forward to:
- Exploring New Topics: I plan to write about a variety of subjects, from fantasy writing tips to reflections on my favorite books and movies.
- Connecting with the Community: Engaging with fellow bloggers through comments, social media, and the Blaugust Discord is always a highlight. I look forward to building new friendships and strengthening existing ones.
- Personal Growth: Blaugust is a perfect opportunity to challenge myself, improve my writing skills, and stay motivated throughout the month.

Hey, good to hear from you again Roger. It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to jump back in for writing with life and all the crazy going on. Not sure if you remember me or not, but I used to write under the name Iogro Merrybelly or sometimes went by Iggy.

Thanks @Aywren – It’s nice to be back. Not sure if you remember me or not, but I used to write under the name Iogro Merrybelly. Became a Mentor back in the day, and with life and all that has been going on, I just haven’t been able to write much.
