As you may or may not know, I wrote for a gaming website for a short period of time. During that time, I was esctatic about being added to the team, and would frequently talk about and share my work. Then all of that talk stopped. I acted as though my role on the website never existed, and that my writing about video games was never anything more than a hobby.
With the exception of a select few, I never actually told anyone what exactly happened. Why had I stopped writing?

I just typically don't give myself the time to sit down and combine the two. The oppurtunity to be a part of TDH gave me the incentive to do so. It gave me deadlines. It gave me topics to write about - worlds, characters, and people to research. It allowed me to express myself in the way I felt most comfortable. I got to make an impact in the video game industry, no matter how big or small that impact may have been. It's not
