My games career progress

[Haly]

Oooh necro bump!

I was aiming to bump this up once I made some good money from the writing gig. It hasn't quite happened yet. I'd put a lot of that down to the recession and general dodgy financial climate as I know I've not been alone in this problem in recent months.

Having said that I feel like I've made some progress in the last 9 months or so. Quite a lot has happened really.

Currently I'm writing for a few different sites, mostly reviews. One site: www.gamepeople.co.uk I write reviews but from a different perspective than the norm. It's called the Considered Gamer but I'd say it's more from the emo perspective personally Rather than reviewing whether the game's any good, I focus more on its storytelling and how it makes me feel. Erm yeah, emotastic It seems to do well though and I've been featured on The Escapist because of it which isn't bad going at all!

I've also just been appointed editor at Resolution which is quite a big undertaking. Its original editor has gone onto another site in a paid role so there's some good potential there for getting somewhere. It's going to be a fair bit of work with contacting PR people and arranging schedules so that there's regular content available, but it should be good.

Most of all of course, I'm still enjoying it There's a lot of work involved despite being voluntary but I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it! Hopefully the hard work will pay off eventually. It might not be paying the bills just yet but it's fulfilling which is something!
