I'm considering something.

I want to start a company. Swordspines. I'm sure many of you know about it. If you don't, here's a quick catch up.

Computer games studio. Make games.

Ok, we all up to speed? Excellent.

Now... this is a bit impossible. Because, basically, I need the money. I need to raise quite a few thousand, and then perhaps get in contact with Nintendo/Sony/whoever, see if I can patch a deal in, and hopefully get some backing.

However, I really need to make some money.

I've been told that I have a natural talent for writing... yeah, maybe it's nice to read stuff on here, but what if I could actually sell books... not only would it be cool, but I can start raising money too.

But how the hell do I start going about this? I haven't a clue because I've never thought about it.

Write some stuff, then get an Agent. Write this like short stories and the first few chapters to longer stories.

Short stories may be your best bet. You've done loads for here, and loads of magazines, especially womans magazines and the like, have short stories in them.

And good luck!

Yeah, apparently there's loads of jobs going at magazines and all sorts but they never advertise them.

Same with games testing places.

just get on that phone and ring, ring, ring (around the rosies a pocket full of posies)

Write some things and build up a portfolio - get interviews with magazines/newspapers etc. Then hope for the best. Good luck with whatever you do.

What about writing to magazines and asking if they have any jobs available or do you really want your own company.
