Oh, Yeah, I Totally Write Here, Don't I?

Greetings and salutations, you few people who actually follow me here.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Well, to tell you the truth, I really haven't had anything to write about. That's probably why I no longer write for Spawnkill, even though the people who invited me to write there didn't exactly give me a written notice of departure. Just a no longer editor/writer status. Which, to tell you the truth, kind of sucked. You know, a "hey, since you haven't written anything here in a while you need to pick up the pace" kind of e-mail would have alleviated the worry I had, but no. Just no more access to the writer side of the page. No worries, though. I hadn't written anything there in a while, and I kind of expected it. Some kind of communication would have been appreciated though. Whatever, I'll get over it.

So, things. Yes, I've been battling writer's block for quite a minute now. It's just that writing about video games hasn't really appealed to me lately, seeing as how everyone and their dog has been writing about how this game is great and how that game sucks and how their opinion is the be all, end all of everything, I just didn't find that that's my niche anymore. So I've been searching myself for what I'd like to write about.

And I can't find anything that interests me enough.

Sad, I know. Well, sad to anyone that's ever had an interest in doing something professionally and then realizing that the market is so over-saturated that regardless of how well you write and how much time you are afforded to put into it while having a nine to five job that even the few scraps that you're handed aren't enough to keep your "job" is. Not trying to bitch, just saying.

So, from now on, I'm going to try and write, not bitch like my fun little diatribe about American drivers was, about things that apply to me in my life. Can't say that I'll be on top of things all the time, but I'm going to damn well try to keep doing this. Stay in practice, for if and when I can actually do something that I really like to do, as opposed to the soul suck that is my real job.

Anyway, long story short, I should be back writing here at least a few times a week about... Well, whatever, but as long as people keep reading and responding, then I'll keep it up.

Thanks.
Mike
