So with nothing to do and just a few weeks left in the summer before I'm dragged back into the academic vortex, this time with a full credit load to keep my lazy butt busy, I thought I'd lay out some plans. I've done a lot of research regarding what it takes to start a job in game journalism and one of the conclusions I've come to is that I need more attention. This is a bit of a conundrum for me. I love attention, but at the same time, I hate it. Having fans makes me feel like I'm obligated to do things when I don't want to. Getting past this is going to be part of the process. If I want to make a career, i need to put myself out there, and given the job search has turned up fuck-all this summer, I may as well be productive with what time I have left. I'd rather not make it to graduation and find myself holding a diploma in one hand and a minuscule resume with no experience in what I want to do with my life in the other.
I'd like to start getting paid as soon as possible, but it appears that isn't an option either. Nobody wants you if you don't have work to show and you only post once a month on MySpace. So from here on out, I'll be posting twice a week, probably irregularly to start with, on this here blog. Not all the posts will be reviews. Some will just be random plot bunnies I might have thought up on the spur of the moment, but there will be something to look at here twice a week. I'd also like to express my deep and fiery rage at the school system for failing to teach me a vast number of things I'm rapidly finding I need to learn about very fast in regards to real life. That will be all. Oh, and please, if you come here, leave comments. They are the water of life for growing artists everywhere.
