Last week I wrote an entire post apologizing for not being entirely forthcoming with my reasons for starting this blog and for the quality of my previous work. It was long, bitter, and full of self-loathing, which makes me incredibly happy that I decided to sleep on it before posting. While I have decided to take this site in a slightly different direction, last week's post would not have been a good way to start it.
In that vein welcome to my new and improved blog, a place where I will be documenting my progess as I try to break into the videogame industry as a designer. This is a career that I've only dared to dream of in the past but, now that I've done my research and gained a little more confidence, it's something I believe I would be great at. I have been a hardcore gamer for the past 18 years, I have excellent critical and and analytical skills, a BS in theater and physics (yes, I know, that is "interesting"), an obsessive with perfection and detail, and an almost encyclopedic knowledge of mythology, history, and pop-culture. The key things I lack, however, are an impressive writing portfolio (or any writing portfolio at all) and connections in the industry. Through this blog I hope to develop both.
As this project continues, I hope to be able to hone the writing skills I've let atrophy for the past couple years as well as have some fun talking about gaming. Constructive criticism of my writing by those of you with experience will be much appreciated, and if you like what you read spread the word about the site. I'm hoping to start podcasting soon, as well, so everyone will have tat to look forward to (or dread) in the future. Until next time, in the words of Al Gore's disembodied head, "peace out y'all!"
