I live a town over from the main factory and HQ of Hasbro Toys. My friend Doug has worked there for 23 years. It is a good company and has a lot of interesting projects in the works.

I just applied there for a Copywriting job.  It would essentially be writing for toy packaging, toy background stories (like where the newest GI Joe was born and his/her history), scripts for the talking toys (so they don't accidently say a swear word or something), board game instructions, and stuff like that. It also says I would be on the team that does character creation for new toys.

So, being a writer for TF as well as many writings on personal projects, I jumped at the chance.

Please pray that I land this job. It would rock.  It is full time, good benefits, and not far from home.

Thanks.

z.

errr... well, college was supposed to bear the fruit of a Bachelors Degree. But, I discovered electronica and skipped too many classes to make music. So, even though I took a ton of great classes, I didn't actually graduate. Before I knew it I was in Rhode Island and everything was a blank page.

So, essentially everything is self taught.  I had to teach myself music production, graphic design, and writing.

But writing has always been my true first love. I write all the time.
So, a job like this would be cool to get my foot in the door for future projects and writing opportunities.

Well, I didn't get the job.       They emailed me and said the position had been filled.

So, as usual I don't know where God is going to plant me next, but I guess it isn't at Hasbro.

Sorry to hear that, Z. I'll be praying that God will make His plan clear to you. Hang in there, dude.
