Okay, I just had my interview... and while I hope that it actually went better than I think it did, I'm not sure it went too well. Granted, I was nervous as all hell, and I hope they take that into account when assessing the conversation, but man! To my mind, I sounded a lot like President Bush talking about "fiscal sanity" -- rambling on and on and saying the same things and not really driving home a clear point. But then, he got reelected, so maybe the American people who work at the magazine headquarters will see fit to give me a chance. I've no doubt that I could do the job -- and do it well at that -- I'm just not sure that I convinced them of that during this phone interview. I mean, I've got the writing and editing part down, but admittedly I'm not the ubergamer that I once was, with my hardware being too old and my schedule being too packed and my income being too low to allow me to enjoy the latest and greatest titles at length. I do try to kinda keep up with what's coming out, though, and I'd love to get back into the swing of things! Among other things, Resident Evil 4 looks pretty sweet, and I can see very easily getting hooked on one of these MMORPGs. Anyway, I think that my lack of total immersion in the gaming world at the moment might have made appear me less attractive as a potential writer/editor. Sigh.

There's always Scary-Crayon, though! For my devoted readers, here's a preview: Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #34. Enjoy, and thanks for all of your support and well-wishes. 🙂
