Last minute decision to join #blaugust2026

I have decided to participate in this rather infamous annual blogging event called #Blaugust, created by, sadly the late, @belghast. Hoping to get at least the Bronze and Community Builder award...

📸✨ "A picture is worth a thousand words!" they said, and then launched a contest where you can earn $1 per word for your incoherent rambling. 📝💸 The real winner is Medium Rare, who cleverly monetizes your desperation to be noticed by dangling $1,000 like a carrot. 🥕📚 Enjoy writing those 1,000 words about a cat photo, aspiring Hemingways! 😹✍️

Here is a thought for a #WritingChallenge :
The Fanthorpe Weekender. (Lionel Fanthorpe infamously wrote a novel in a weekend.) For those that think NaNoWriMo and similar are too wussy. Or too much effort.

Start and complete a novella (17,500-40,000 words) in 72 hours.

The Rules:
1/ With the exception of Speech to Text tools, no AI.
2/ You must start and finish within the 72 hours.
3/ Show your work. WIP is encouraged, but at the end of the 72 hours you must post your completed work. Whatever else, you must have it finished at the end of the clock.

Bonus points if you can get it published.
Double bonus points for getting it published unedited.

Note: The exception for Speech to Text tools is for two reasons. First, accessibility. Simply not being physically able to type should not be a barrier. Second, The Patron Saint was noted for wandering around the house with a dictaphone, and handing off the tapes to various family members for transcription.

What do people think?

And what is an appropriate date for it?
