Step one
As far as freelance game writers go, I’ve got a bit of a head start. I’ve done IT work at Epic Games, I am friends with people at two different game companies, and have met one Editor-in-Chief at a major publication. In Raleigh, North Carolina, I am at the hub of two major development studios (Epic and Red Storm), a major media outlet (The Escapist), and a number of smaller companies, like Icarus Games (plug, plug).
Yet, I still have an uphill battle ahead of me if I want to make it in this industry. In this age of information, I can think of no better way to gauge my progress than to report it here. Over the coming months, I will report on my ability to join the ranks of freelance game journalists. Perhaps others will be able to use this log as inspiration and as a guide, and perhaps it will just be a chance for me to vent over my failures, and celebrate my successes.
Time will tell.
