One week down in the freelance life. Honestly, it feels more like working two jobs than anything else, which is strange, as my brain has gotten used to having just the one job… but I’ll get by.

Eurogamer Expo is looking pretty damn good. There’s a list of games on the site right now, but tomorrow we’ll be updating it with more confirmed stuff – and there are at least a few more that should get added to that list before too long, as well. There’s still the possibility that even more publishers will sign up as well, so stay tuned on that. Not exactly a bad day out (or evening) for a fiver, and it’s going to charity too, sooo… you should go.

The other gig right now is for a small agency here in Brighton, Qube, who have been really cool and good to work with so far. I’m helping them with some community stuff on a game that’s shipping in a couple of months; probably not one you’ve heard of, to be honest. In a couple of weeks when the site that’s at the heart of it launches, I’ll happily link you along so I can engineer the tiniest boost in traffic… for now though I’ll keep quiet.

What else? Well, looking around for other work of course, pursuing a few leads. Honestly though, the search hasn’t started in earnest. There’s a part of me that feels strangely like I’m on a ‘working holiday’, and that at some point I’ll just go back to my old office, my old desk. I need to acknowledge that’s not the case… just seems to be taking a bit of time to adjust. I guess that’s natural. I guess. It just feels like I’m processing all of this kind of slowly. There’s part of me that just wants to get onto the next challenge; there’s another part which wants to pause.

Woooh boy, talking about that makes me feel great, I tell ya. Well; this is supposed to be a ‘work blog’, and there’s me, talking about work. Maybe next post I’ll talk about something more interesting. Like my navel fluff.
