….is this the start of better things?
Posted By Warren on July 19, 2010
Writing wise, that is.
Soon I’ll be writing for a website. One that isn’t my own, mind you. I will be writing about the gamer lifestyle… Whatever that entails. I’ve also been asked to write for an online magzine, doing game reviews for free to play massively multiplayer games.
Now neither of these gigs pay a whole heck of a lot, if anything at all, but I do think they will expose me to a previously unknown audience. I believe it is a start, a start to something… I Hope it is a start to something that’ll help me in my life. I can point to these things and say “Hey *other* people wanted to read what i wrote besides myself!”
Well myself and one or two people that read my blog. And the few people that read my comic website… And the ones that read my tweets. Then there are the facebook people… *ahem.*
Anyway I’m excited, but I’m afraid to be really excited. The phrase I’ve been using is “cautiously optimistic.” I am optimistic but in a reserved fashion. I’m not jumping up, running down the streets, and shouting at the top of my lungs. (That would kill me in the shape I am in, for one.) But…
I am excited. Examiner.com has it’s pros and cons, but I am pretty much free to write what i want. Writing about gamer lifestyle… That is a pretty broad umbrella topic. I already have a few different ideas from the general “Lifestyle” to those specific to the Phoenix area.
Game Theory is a new venture, a PDF magazine that has only published an issue or two. I feel like that getting in on it now could lead to good things. Especially if the magazine and website continues to get many of people reading it. And it is nice to be asked to write for a change. It really is and I am honored to be able to do it.
So yah. That all happened within the last week. Now if I can start making good money off my writing…
Hmmm.
Baby steps, right?
