“I will show you fear in a handful of dust”
For much of April I felt like I had taken on too much in a short space of time. Blogging, working, freelancing & the all important gaming came together at such a pace, that I was always thinking of the next angle for my writing, even when at my 9-5 job. Not something to complain about but the juggling act is becoming more challenging by the month & more rewarding with it.
The freelance writing is going well & while working for Ripten I have made some good PR contacts at Sega & EA, as well as meeting some great fellow writers.

April again showed a strong month for Sweet Flag. As you can see from the graph above, it’s looking like a plateau has been reached in views each month. The last 3 months have all been similar, although each month has had subsequently better views, the increase hasn’t been steep.

Thoughts on May
With 2 reviews that I have had confirmed at the beginning of May(Iron Man & Boom Blox), I am hoping the rest of the month I can at least get 1 review copy a week. Which I don’t think is too over the top.
Am planning to review fully GTA IV sometime in May exclusive to Sweet Flag, while also doing a new MMO trial. Owning now both the Wii & PS3, means gaming will be at a premium but so will my time!
I will also be on the look out for an artist to design a header for the blog. I did have one in mind but that looks like it’s a non-starter. To get an idea of the style I’m looking for, take a look here. If you’re an graphic artist or you know of one, please drop me a line or leave a comment on this post.
With the football season ending this month, I’ll be rounding up Liverpool FC’s season with a rating for each of the first team & the coach. Yup, you got it, my silence will be broken.

[...] Trackback Tuesday #6 With something of a mini heatwave in the UK, my reading list has got a little quieter the past week since trackback #5. It’s allowed me more time to get on with my freelance writing(I have more good news to come later in the week!) & start hunting down an artist to design a header for Sweet Flag. [...]
