Blaugust 2024 Daily Horror Hunt Letterboxd Movie Challenge
Getting Out of My Comfort Zone With Horror Movie Challenges

Getting Out of My Comfort Zone With Horror Movie Challenges

Last year, actually right around New Year’s, I was searching Discord for a nice horror book community. I started checking out the public servers and peeped into Dreadcord, the Discord server attached to r/horror. While it’s very much movie focused and not book focused (still looking for that book community, most of mine are fantasy-focused), I found it a fun place to be and surprising myself, became quite active in there for a time. In here, I learned about Letterboxd,…

Blaugust 2024 Indie Playtest
Indie Playtest Fest

Indie Playtest Fest

I wanted to share an event that is currently going on with you all called the Indie Playtest Fest. I know I love checking out different demos to explore the wild variety you can find in video games, particularly when you look at the indie game market, and so I figure a lot of you may also be interested. To quote the website: Creating a game as an independent developer is a challenging journey, especially when it is your first…

First Post of Blaugust 2024 – Or Hello! This Is Me

Hello there! Happy Thursday and first day of August, folks. For many of us, this means it’s time for Blaugust, the grand festival of blogging started and continued to be run by the super huggable Belghast. If you’re interested, I recommend going and taking a look at his posts for more information. It’s never too late to join the community, whatever you blog about. New or old.

Dragons and Whimsy’s New Title & Blaugust 2024

Hi folks! I totally meant to do this a few months back, but it’s a big change and the backend stuff to get it sorted is super overwhelming so it has taken me a few months. However, chatting with a friend who wants to come back to blogging, plus the advent of Blaugust, reminded me that I bought a new domain and made new graphics for the blog and need to get them sorted! So we say a fond farewell…

Spoons and What I Do With Them

I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,…

I’m Joining Blaugust 2023

This is perhaps a bad idea for me to attempt right now as I’m already struggling with everything else I’m trying to do (fatigue/brain fog do not make for an eloquent blogger), however, I have signed up for Blaugust 2023! For those of you who are unaware, Blaugust is a blogging event started by Belghast that occurs during August (usually), and its original idea was to publish a blog post every day during that month. This, of course, is a…

The Weekend Wrap-Up offers a little look at what I’m reading, the new books that came my way, and anything else I may have gotten up to this past week. I will be linking up to Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? and hopping around your blogs a little to see what the community has to share too!
