Creative/fanfiction writing stuffs are on indefinite hold.

As of this writing, I've been working for an independant video game developer for about six months now. This job opportunity came as a bit of a surprise and a result of the writing I was doing over at the fanblog mentioned in my previous entry. It's been a wild and crazy ride - I've been able to attend E3, meet other developers and get some hands on time with the games coming to the next gen consoles. This is all due to many years of writing, writing, writing - for no pay. The moral of the story? Don't discount the writing you do, ever. Even if it is something you do for years for free. It could take you places you'd never imagine seeing yourself when you started out.

I'm still running the fan blog, and I'm also finishing a degree in business, and raising my son, who's now in kindergarten. And I'm creating characters for my own game, based on an original fic I sketched out almost 20 years ago, as well as learning about Unity 3D in my "spare" time, as it's the platform I'll likely be using for my game.

So as you can see, I'm pretty much up to my eyeballs in stuff. Will my fanfic ever get finished? I hope so; Final Fantasy XIII-2 left me feeling cold and uninspired (hence the lack of any updates), even though I did like how they broke Serah out of the damsel in distress mold (but only a bit). I have high hopes for Lightning Returns. I'm actually quite impressed with the character arc development they've shown for Snow in particular thus far. So we'll see what the future holds.
