Impostor Syndrome and Your Blog
Blaugust Prep Week Guess what time it is everybody! It’s the end of the week before Blaugust Reborn starts on Wednesday, August 1st! Before I delve into my mentor pre-Blaugust post, I wanted to toss up a quick reminder that I’m working on something I’m coining as the, “Blaugust Reborn Mini Cast”. It’s essentially a quick hit of those that want to participate into, well, how they got started, and why they’re participating. A quick, “get to know you”, if you will. You can view my original thoughts on it at this post, but I figured after talking to a few folks, I’d do a quick update on it, and…

Blaugust Reborn (& Mini-Cast!)
It’s Here! Blaugust is back! I participated back in 2015 (my first year), and then again in 2016. I had a lot of fun both times I participated, and I’m glad that Bel brought it back after a hiatus last year. This time, Blaugust is a combination of the heart of Blaugust as a whole, as well as the former Newbie Blogger Initiative. All bloggers of all sorts (gaming, fashion, tech, food) are welcome to participate! If you’re interested, be sure to check out Bel’s post and sign up with the links he’s provided! I signed up to participate again, this year—as a mentor. So what does that mean? Well,…

Wednesday Boredom
Blaugust This week has been busy, and I am now just getting to a place where I feel able to blog about events that I’d sort of half-ass pre-written about as they happened. I’ve discovered through Blaugust, that even when I have the best of intentions and put together thoughts/images in a post as pre-writing, I don’t always get back to it in a timely manner if I’m feeling overwhelmed, or that I just need downtime. Which isn’t a bad thing to discover about my blogging habits. Heck, blogging 2-3 times a week isn’t a bad goal to keep towards, especially with my busy schedule. It feels manageable, and like…

August Gaming To Do List
She seems a bit overwhelmed… Yeah, I know it’s Saturday, and August ends on Wednesday. But Legion is out on Tuesday, and there’s gaming things I want to try to finish before that happens. I’m not going to pressure myself, but here’s the list of things I want to try to get done in (mainly) WoW before Tuesday is here. WildStar Finish the pre-quest for Redmoon Terror (I need that mount before it’s gone!!) Finish re-runing all the new DPS gear that unlocked with the RMT changes (Tank can wait until September) Get the birthday presents for the folks I’m getting them for Finish Wildcast (I’ll give myself until Wednesday…

Go on, we’ll be here when you get back! You can always listen to our podcast over on iTunes, and visit the Mognation website for the episode and complete show notes with links!

Moosey Moosey Moose!
Blaugust Update I like the new schedule I set for myself. However, last week I only got in one post, when I meant to at least get in two. This post was slated to be posted over the weekend, and then I just never got to it because I was editing the podcast (which I plan to finish as soon as this is posted!), adulting, and spending what little time I had left relaxing over in WildStar. My goal this week is to try to make my three days for at least once. We shall see, though. Moooooose! I’ve been trying to find a #FriendshipMoose run for weeks with no…

It’s Invasion Time!
Blaugust Update Missy over at Ancient Mana has similar thoughts to myself on Blaugust—I’m not doing so hot at the schedule I picked out for myself, but it is getting me back into blogging again (despite busy work schedules), and I feel like I’m slowly starting to slip into the groove of blogging three times a week. So far, if I keep a Sunday to Saturday schedule, I’ve posted twice in week one, once in week two, and once so far in week three. Honestly, I think I’m just going to follow a Monday to Sunday schedule instead for posts, as it’s easier based on how my planner is laid out…

Stepping into Datascape
On Tuesday, our raid group stepped into Datascape as a whole for the first time. I sadly wasn’t around due to the project at work that’s currently going on, but based on our logs, we made some pretty good progress on System Daemons. Plus, it’s always fun to see guildie reactions on Twitter during raid. It’s like a bad dream sequence … all those floating bodies. #wildstar #raiding pic.twitter.com/dX9QwVghix — SpousalUnit Fitch (@CirindeFitch) August 11, 2016 So, I just have to point out, to those that might not raid in WildStar, this is what the first boss of the second raid looks like. We stepped in again last night, and…

Wildcast Ep. 93 (& Blaugust)
Quick Blaugust Update So my goal for Blaugust is to try to blog three times a week to get myself onto more of a schedule. I missed out last week, with only two posts, but I started a bit late due to a crazy work schedule, and then a crazy weekend ensued. I’m trying not to stress myeslf out about it—stuff happens, and this work project has priority over almost everything else. (I’ve made concessions for my sanity with a bit of gaming during dinner, and I ran two Mythics in WoW last night.) But I’m proud of myself for getting back into it, and I’m enjoying blogging again, even if it’s…

A WoW-Shaped Hole
Back Again Back in May Chaide and I got the email from WoW about that free week trial period, so we decided to give it a whirl (… mainly because I was going to write something for MMOGames that I have yet to finish writing… *cough*). And, well, we have yet to leave. We were going to play Alliance, but then we thought about our Druids over on Llane (Chaide and Chestnut) that we started back in 2010, and I thought since they were our mains way back then that maybe we could race change them or something to go play Alliance over with folks in House Stalwart. But then…
