blaugust wrap-up

With this post, I'm hitting 25 posts for Blaugust—not bad, especially considering the fact that I didn't know it existed until the sixth.

Honestly, I joined less because I was particularly attached to the blogging challenge bit and more because I was interested in meeting other people who would join such a challenge. This proved to be a good call: I'm not terribly active on the Discord, but I've had some good conversations over there, and I've met some interesting people, which was really what I wanted.

Also, the push to post about a thing a day inspired me to make my random passage generator, which I am loving. That just kind of happened, though.

All in all: a marked success. I'd highly recommend it if this is remotely the sort of thing you're into, and I'm looking forward to next year already.
