So last week I was browsing through one of my favorite Nerd sites, Kotaku and looking through I noticed that they were recruiting Interns/apprentices. I was kinda sad and I'll explain why. Journalism has always been a sort of, secret love of mine. I love reading reviews and investigating movie, game and music previews, so when the opportunity popped up to apply, I cried inside. I only have one or 2 reviews or news related articles in my blog. That doesn't make for a good portfolio.
After that I was looking through my blog to see what I had, if anything. I found two reviews and some poetry, not bad right? Well considering that is a 2(ish) year portfolio, yes. I also looked at my New Years resolution, and I noticed that I had "Write one piece of Creative Writing a Week". This sparked an idea (and a realization of laziness). I should use that to my advantage.
Well, Im going to try to write articles based on movies, music and games, at least once a week. something small, an opinion or even reviews. I need to build up a portfolio. Anyways, I need to get on that ASAP and build a respectable portfolio as well as starting to post stuff on websites to get my name out there.
