I got the job.
Checked my mail last night to find an offer to do a regular column waiting for me. Details are under wraps for now, of course, so I can't say too much.
What I can say is that I'm absolutely stoked about the whole thing. I'm also completely f**king terrified. It may sound big-headed, but I know I've got the writing skills, the tough bit will be dredging up quality material to write about. I've got a few topics kicking around upstairs, but I'm worried that I won't be able to spin them out to a decent length and/or the ideas themselves are poor to begin with.
There's only one way to find out, and that's by pulling my finger out and start writing. I've already started on something new, so I'll try to keep at it over the weekend. In an ideal world, I'd get a couple of articles ready to go by the time everything goes live - but that's probably an idle hope.
Regardless of how it turns out, I'm really glad to have been offered the position - the sample piece I sent of wasn't really (I felt) some of my best work, although I did slip in links to the two pieces I did for 2old2play, here and here. Maybe that's what did it, I don't really know. All I do know is that I'm going to be busy...
Wish me luck!
In a rather unrelated note - I'm a big Evanescence fan, which seems a bit odd to some, considering I'm a 28 year-old man, but I still think they're awesome, and I thought I'd share the video for their new single, Good Enough, which I think is one of the most hopelessly romantic songs I've heard in a long time.
