The video Andy linked is pretty good. About having specific resolutions and starting small. What about setting up your own website and publishing there to start with? Wont pay the bills but you can add it to your portfolio of work?I'd really love my New Year's Resolution to be "get published more" but it's such a crapshoot and I am not very good at the consistency when I am dealing with work and uni.

It's not really applicable for games writing really. Need to be able to buy shit, play it, work out a coherent through-line for an article. Not had any luck with more solid things like retrospectives and reviews. Edge never respond to me (maybe one ex-forumer is enough), and keeping abreast of gaming whilst you're knee deep in two jobs and a degree is tough. Probably better to set a meagre target for the year, like 10 articles, which is double what I managed this year.

I have a portfolio of published already, no one reads stuff no-name writers put on blogs.
Apologies if this comes across as short. I know what I need to do, but unsolicited advice that I already know doesn't really help me combat the mental and physical stress of my depression, my jobs, my studies.
I know my limits, but I appreciate the thoughts all the same.
