In an effort to improve my dialogue and character writing skills, I have decided to structure this blog as a series of MMO “daily quests”.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go

Greetings, priest. If I’m not mistaken, you’re a-lookin’ for some gold. Times have been tough in these parts. Years ago we had our share of payin’ jobs and then some, but nowadays there are just more workers than work! But I see you’re a strapping young lass with a good set of brains, so I’ll give you a hint: Old Staffy over there knows most every businessman around here. Maybe he can steer you straight. Good luck – you might need it!

Oh, the Places You’ll Go, continued

So you’re looking for a job? My own pockets are empty and my children are hungry. I’m about to leave to find some dinner, but if you bring it to me perhaps we can talk.

Smells great! Look, priest, payin’ work is hard to come by. But it happens to be sunfruit harvestin’ season and I know Farmer Flobby has a bumper crop this year – why don’t you high-tail it to Flobby Field and see if he’ll give you some work? If he does, I expect a handsome referral fee.

Welcome to my new and improved (!) blog. Here I will write about the joys of married life, the frustrations of the job hunt, and my quirks and hobbies. I will write about the books I read, the places I go, and the things I buy. Thanks for visiting! I hope something here encourages or inspires you.
