A toy company requested a professional résumé from me yesterday, so I took the opportunity to update my résumé and my CV (list of professional credits). I tallied up something north of 265 entries in the CV, which doesn’t include many of the paid magazine and website articles I’ve written over the years.
That sounds like a lot, but over the course of 17 or 18 years you can build up such a list, especially when it features things like editing and developing. During my years with Pinnacle, for instance, I had my hands in dozens of projects every year. These days, I’m still busy, but I can focus on just a few larger things (like novels or collectible games or toy lines) at a time. It makes me tired to think about it–but in a happy way.
