Time running out

Well, I got a late start on writing that up and now it's Sunday, so I can't be blamed for not hearing back over the course of 0-2 business days + a weekend since the time I started pitching (rejections either).  Still, I absolutely will need to either have clear, established editorial interest, or I will have to post what I have late Monday night for the sake of making it on time to pre-empt the D3 launch (while hanging onto the slimmer hope that it's acceptable to replace the post with a link later).

I guess in the future I should try harder to come up with less time-sensitive pitches so I don't end up in weird, tense situations like this.  This one's sort of a sore spot, though, what with it being The Disappointment of the Decade Hopefully Everyone Learned A Lot From in the gaming world.

Still trying to pitch that piece without the dick jokes

Ok.  It seems like killscreendaily.com is one of only a few truly critical gaming websites that attempting to be anything at all like the Roger Ebert of gaming websites.  I'd pitch this thing I just drafted to more places, but... there's nothing.  Unless I'm not Googling all that well.

So... Good job.  I might have to start reading you more often even if you don't buy my stuff.

(P.S. - Please buy my stuff.)

Trying to pitch a freelance article

Yeah, so that's why I've been posting so much D3 content lately.  Well, that, and because D3 sucks, but I can't find anything approaching comprehensiveness on the subject yet.

I've finally distilled it to a list of points and some punchy obligatory jpgs, but I'm not sharing it until I've made some rounds and tried to sell it somewhere.  Hopefully you'll be getting a hyperlink instead of a blog post sometime in the next week or so.

EDIT:  Apparently some publications aren't all about punchy zingers and obligatory jpgs, and obligatory templates that include the word "badass".  This can be done.  It might be a totally different piece than what I started with, but it might be better this way.
