So Long, Farewell B/R

In what seemed like a long friendship between b/r and myself, I now must cut short.

I joined b/r a few months ago and really enjoyed all it had to offer. My first few articles were simple slide shows, but as time went on, I really developed a new type of writing. I didn't know I had it in me, and I really enjoyed the writing, as well as the research.

After I reached my 50th article, I decided to apply for an opening for a Featured Columnist on the NASCAR page. After a few days, I received an e-mail stating that I was not going to get the position.

I kept my head up, and a couple of weeks later, I saw there was another Featured Columnist opening for the Indianapolis Colts, a team in which I cover in depth, and my hometown NFL team.

After applying for that position and receiving the same response, I have finally decided to call it quits on b/r.

I may be throwing in the towel, raising the white flag, or whatever, but I have some other things lined up that will actually pay me for my writing.

I will continue to write regularly on the Colts' blog, and I will begin covering the Pacers in depth on a different website as well.

It was great getting to know everyone, and there are some really talented people on this website, and I encourage you all to explore your options, and do what is best for yourself.

If you ever feel your writing isn't getting enough recognition, or it could be better served on another site, go for it!

I will be closing my account shortly after this final post, but I want to thank everyone who helped get me started on this website, as well as those who were able to guide me through other doors to get to where I am now.

If you ever need to get in touch with me about some work or whatever, you can reach me at: [e-mail]

Thanks again to all of you that helped me in my short time here at b/r and with my writing in general.

Take care, and goodnight.
