Advice Columnist (4)

$44/hour
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

"She's always thought of herself as a know-it-all, but now Destiny is a professional know-it-all. The life of an advice columnist is full of deranged in-laws, mailmen without personal boundaries, and secret second families. But only if she's lucky."

Regular Contributor (5)

Short Story Writer (6 - Author Branch)


$60/hour
1:00 PM - 9:00 PM

"It's not like Destiny can't write longer stories, it's that she doesn't want to! Long stories are overrated. Who has the attention span for all that? And novels just end up getting adapted into movies anyway, and Destiny's pretty busy already, so..."

Most novelists don't go crazy alone in deserted hotels in the winter. Most novelists don't die penniless in the streets. Most novelists are happy, well-adjusted, and creatively satisfied people! Destiny keeps telling herself that...

The fans love her. The critics hate her. Destiny might be churning out sub-literate dreck, but her books sell like crazy, so her publisher keeps paying her. And that's the real measure of literary success. Right?

Bestselling authors have a tough life going from talk show to talk show, receiving honours, counting endless stacks of money - but Harmony has worked hard to join their ranks. Of course if the critics don't like her next book her career will be over, but no pressure.

Daily Task: Write Books

The hardest part about creating a sprawling, multi-volume fantasy epic? Thinking up all those crazy names like Cloydon DeBarboot and Fromzy Peppernoodle. Definitely the names. Oh, and also dealing with the really strange, inappropriate fanfic.

Municipal rezoning? Do-catcher elections? The local beat isn't always glamorous, but at least Destiny can use the power of her job to crush her enemies. Now she gets the best restaurant tables and the cleaners never shrink her sweaters.

If she's lucky, she'll be the reporter who cracked the biggest scandal ever. Someone, somewhere is up to no good, and Destiny's determined to find them. Destiny loves revealing wrongdoing and making the big money, not always in that order.

She decided which stories run and which get killed. She keeps circulation up and costs down. She produces amazing journalism, and if she could figure out how to make people actually pay for it, she'd really have it made!

Destiny has transcended day-to-day news and now spends her time looking backward... studying what has been, and what it all means. Future generations will study her works, and many more will use then as very fancy doorstops.
