My New Job: Getting LOST
Sometime in the next week or so, I will be taking over as the one-and-only blogger for B5media’s ApproachingLOST.com, a news blog about the TV show Lost. The contract was signed and delivered today, so it’s a done deal.
As someone utterly obsessed with Lost (how awesome was Season 4?), I’m pretty doggone thrilled about this. It’s great timing, too, as the hype machine is just starting to build for Season 5. I’ve been looking for some kind of regular paying gig slash writing outlet all year. And I know this show well enough to write about it with my eyes closed! So I couldn’t be more excited to get started! Bring it!
FYI, if you go to ApproachingLOST.com now, you’ll find some mildly tabloidy stuff on there from the fill-in editor who’s been posting stuff while they’ve searched for a new blogger. I won’t be doing that sort of thing; I’ll be focusing entirely on the story, the characters, the writers, the trivia, merch tie-ins, episode summaries, mysteries, unanswered questions, etc. Basically, all the cool, geeky stuff that us Lost fans salivate over. :)
If it’s happening in the world of Lost, you can bet ApproachingLOST.com will cover it.

Hey! That’s great news! I’m really excited about that and for you.
Also really looking forward to Offworld. I’m one of those guys that Ted Dekker ruined fiction for– after reading his books, i just couldn’t get through another novel, they all seemed so— average– by comparison. And then i stumbled upon Relentless, and all that changed. I finally got my hands on a copy of Merciless, and have about 1/3 of it to go, so i’m going to go get back stuck into that right now.
Appreciate your work!

Awesome, Robin.
My wife and I are big LOST fans, too. I’ll add that blog to my regularly-visited sites!

Most readers just don?t have the time to scan another page so in my opinion watch that would more likely give lesser traffic for your blog.
