So, starting Thursday, I’m going to be reviewing books that I’ve read and games that I have played. Why? Because I’m apart of two separate challenges that involve my participation, so I might as well keep you up-to-date with my progress. Both challenges are so much fun to be apart of and I implore you to take advantage of it when you get the chance.
While waiting for my background check to through on two jobs (which, let’s face it, I got the job), I got great news from my buddies at Bowlcut Studios. For four months, I have watched them advertise and promote their debut game MageQuit at various conventions garnering positive to rave “critical” acclaim from first time players.
Final Fantasy XIII. Final Mark, Vercingetorix. Why am I saying this dreadfully powerful monster from Final Fantasy XIII? Because has one of the most powerful moves in the game, Wicked Whirl, and it’s the best way to describe my week. I mean it, seriously, it was a drastic one.
This week has been incredibly slow due to me looking for a job, waiting for an interview call while working through the last Heroes story for my Dimensions series. Winter is always a slow season for merchandiser because clients don’t need the assistance of us…at least, not until the spring. So, I have to look for an additional job. This is something I’m kinda not used to because I like having one job which won’t be the case when spring rolls around thus making it a little harder to manage my writing schedule. Something I’m just going to have to work through, I guess.
“Patience is a virtue, Justin. Not everything is going to come easily to you; sometimes you’ll have to work harder than normal to perfect certain skills.”
You have no idea how many times I have heard that statement, albeit in many different forms. It has been said to be when I was learning a particularly unique skill in my eyes i.e. a new physical feat, such as a fighting style (Tae Kwon Do was easier for me than Karate, if you could believe it), it takes me a slightly longer time to master it. But not by much, really.
This week has been nothing but a bombardment of one lesson after another. Both small and large in their involvement in this week of endeavor, all of them ended up making a big impact in my life. Because of it, I firmly believe that it is going to make a better writer and human being in the long run so that’s a plus. Oh! Right!! I need to talk about the lessons that I’m learning this week.
I’M BACK IN FLORIDA AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!!! Okay, I know I’m sounding too excited about such a thing, but you must understand the circumstances around this marvelous trip.
This week has been quite an eventful week for me both nice and…not nice. An equal amount of light and darkness has been plaguing me all week.
The Wall Scroll program is officially underway, and I couldn’t be prouder. I initially designed the program to allow my best mate’s company (Nexus Gaming Alliance) to connect with numerous artist around the country – and maybe the world – and assist with their journey for social and professional exposure.
First things first, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and a safe Black Friday. I won’t be participating in either holiday because I desperately want some alone time from the world. That, and I don’t like shopping on Black Friday; I prefer Cyber Monday since I don’t have to do a lot of physical store hopping. However, I won’t be participating in that, either. So, move on…
