Monster Island by David Wellington

It has an interesting twist on the genre for sure.

Also, I love The Remaining Series. So props for reading that, I can't wait for book 5.

Its not amazing but its a fun read

Be versatile, do what you need to live, do what you love to grow. Make and finish something, have it online for all time as reference to your efforts. David Wellington blogged Monster Island weekly for a couple of months and created a huge fanbase. Followed up with four more books the same way.

Do the same thing. Week 1, story stuff, week 2 some kind of game thing that looks like the story stuff, week 3 more story stuff, repeat mix and match.

You'll find your niche, but maybe not what you think it is, ie, that cubicled career writing pages for games all day, which could only be full time if you can't get a short story out in a week.

Game companies aren't churning out games weekly so your full time employment in that regard is basically impossible without connections...so go to Game Developers Conference, with a T-shirt of your characters and/or something you wrote and some kind of hand out to tell people who you are and what you do, look at badges see what people do, talk to people who do what you want to do and might hire you.

I liked Monster Island. Premise is a zombie apocalypse happens and the only survivors are a camp protected by a child army in Somalia, but they have AIDS, so they have to got to NYC to get medicine. Oh, and in NYC there's a guy who got bit by a zombie but found a way to maintain his mental faculties. The sequels were pretty weak, but the first one was entertaining.
