zeekie: take two.

I'm officially a TV blogger for Gay.com. Which is a big deal, considering the website's membership runs into the millions, and considering it is the largest LGBT site in all of America.

The entire process started a couple of weeks ago. There was an announcement on the homepage of the site, asking people to apply for a writing position on the upcoming affiliated TV blog.

I wasn't going to apply, actually, because I was at that point realizing that I'd probably have to take on a second job. Between the internship at Tor, classes, and two jobs, I didn't know if I would have the time or energy to contribute to the blog.

But then on the night before the deadline, I mentally smacked myself and decided to give it a shot. I think it was the massive exposure that this gig could give me, that really made me up and change my mind.

So, that night, I roughed up the required documents: a recap of an episode of a current show (I chose the finale of Brothers and Sisters), and an opinion piece (I decided to go with one on the resurgent Baldwin brothers).

Then at work the next day I polished the pieces a bit more, and probably sent them in on the cusp of the deadline.

Then I didn't hear from them for the longest time, not even for days after when they said they'd pick their writers by.

By the time I got the first email expressing interest, I'd really already given up hope.

But now, a bio and a contract later, I'm officially going to be writing for the blog!
