I've been offered a job...
I was rather flattered and honoured to be offered a job as a lecturer at a university in another European country. It involved lectures on interactive narrative and the like and as a full time post would mean moving to the country in question.
I must admit to being very tempted by this exciting offer, particularly as I think that education is an important issue for all of us. However, I felt that taking up a full time teaching post would likely lead to more than a little frustration on my part as my hands on creativity would be cut to a minimum and all of the ideas and projects that I want to work on will not materialise.
I'm hoping that I have more to contribute by continuing to develop games in various capacities. While I have lots of ideas about interactive narrative and such, I'd rather put them into practice in games than to theorise about them in the classroom.

Hi Steve
WOW it's a big step turning down that position but I am sure you've done the right thing.
Soetimes you have to be really single minded don't you?
Been trying to email you bu the way but it keeps bouncing back :-(
Great to see you're in it for real.
Anyone who doesn't understand why you made that decision...well lets just say they don't get it :)
Jane,
Sorry, I'm having e-mail problems. Trying to track them down.
Yes, you often have to make these big choices that can affect your career, but I'm pretty confident I've made the right choice, particularly if a couple of things come off that are under the radar at the moment. :)
Anthony,
People who don't get it will never get it. :)
Great work!
