Can't we just have video game convention here?...

Well, the DNC, kicks off tomorrow, here in Denver. It was actually here 100 years ago, as well. Luckily, I don't work downtown! We do have one store downtown; I wonder what effect this will have on their business.

Too bad downtown Denver is so closed off; I'd love a chance to network/meet with some journalists-I KNOW I could make a living writing. That would be a dream come true for me!

But "where?" is the question. There are so many video game sites; I've thought about blogging at IGN, and writing some of my own reviews there-I don't have a journalism degree, but it's not always required-although they have mentioned Adobe Photo Shop 10.

I should contact people at the Denver Post, or Rocky Mountain News, as to how one get's started.

At any rate, is anyone from this site going to the DNC? Always worth asking; you never know!

Anywhere you can, really. Blogs are easily available anywhere these days, or you can start a site, or even edit a well know wiki or Wikipedia. Just write, keep writing, write well, and write interesting stuff while being knowledgeable. Networking is kind of key, so it's a probably a good idea to make nice with people and get noticed. It doesn't do you any good to say you want to write, just freaking write and if you're good someone's bound to notice.
