Beat Writer Posts: 209 Joined: 17 Jun 2008    | On WoE I work on all but programming. I'm guessing I'm not awesome at everything. Art work is probably the first thing I'd cut, many people do it better, even if I'd still want to have a hand in the design and style. Writing is what I have the most experience, so I guess that'd be part of it. Advertising is what I was taught at school, and something I find fun. Hunting talents and manage stuff is what I do the most, and what I feel most comfortable doing, so I guess I'm a bit of a jack-of-all trades. I'd love to work as a team lead, supervisor, chipping in where needed, and always have final say, since I'm such a perfectionist. |

That doesn't have to mean anything. As long as you bring enough of a fresh breeze into it, and bring some new twists it's going to be interesting. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1784 Joined: 3 Mar 2008    | Writing. I just love to create. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 208 Joined: 13 Feb 2008 | I'd say writing and editing with a few of the others mixed in |
