- You've grown into a skilled writer, but your taste in games is holding you back. I don't mean just that you end up playing mostly bad games - by that metric, I have bad taste in games, and, goodness gracious, we all know that's not true - I mean that you need to expand your horizons a bit further beyond superhero licenses and movie tie-ins. I don't know if this would help in your bid to get a writing job in the industry, as those are usually landed through friend-of-a-friend connections rather than blogger-off-the-street discoveries, but a little more intellectual curiosity would reward you in ways beyond immediate employment prospects.

- I don't think you understand how creepy your new writing project makes you look. You've alluded to it jokingly, but seriously: if a kid ever goes missing while you're in town, you are going to be, not entirely unreasonably, suspect #1. Your lifestyle's prohibitively expensive now, and you're not accomplishing your goal of gathering new material on which to write, because you're largely visiting only places within your hobby-related comfort zones. You're not meeting new people; you're meeting the same people in new places. This is not a recipe for growth.

- If you lived by the rule of publish or perish, you would have been dead and buried several years ago. You cannot finish a project to save your life, which not only communicates to potential coworkers that you're irresponsible and unreliable but disappoints a lot of good people in the process.

None of these are in remote danger of being read by their intended recipients except the one meant for me.
