Professional updates

Even though you've already my last post where I quit the stand up biz, I still have some good news to report.

I've been writing for the Escapist in earnest. I have one article going up in a couple of weeks and I am tentatively assigned another due in January. I'm also trying to expand my journalistic endeavors by querying different magazines but so far no takers. If you know of any publications that need articles about night elves and dragons, let me know.

I'm in the running to land a gig writing for The Lord of the Rings Online. Last year, I heard that an old high school chum worked for Turbine and I emailed him out of the blue to say, hey, I want to be you. He told me to submit a quest design set in Tolkien's world, which I did. He was pleasantly surprised by it, I don't think he expected much from a high school acquaintance he hadn't spoken to in ten years. Turbine ended up hiring internally, but here it is a year later, the game is a moderate success, and they need more quest designers. I've got my fingers crossed.

My short play, Goodbye New York, is going to be performed in a few weeks with a bunch of other short works. The ironic thing is that the play is about quitting the entertainment industry. Sound familiar? Anyway, I think it's a funny show and the production company seems like it's run by cool people. I'll be going to the opening and the party afterwards on Thursday, December 6th.

Here follows the details:
