I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week kicks off the pre-Throne of the Tides arc which will finish up Vashj’ir.
Have I mentioned that it’s my least favorite zone yet?
And the job hunt continues. I’m debating whether I want to try to remain in Europe and draw unemployment or just go straight back to the US while I search for a new job. I’ve put a few more feelers out to try to find something and I’m hoping that one of the thirty lines I’ve got in the water will land me a fish.
Anyhow, back to work.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week kicks off the Vashj’ir arc.
The search for a new job continues apace. I’ve had a few favorable replies already and one flat-out rejection. I’m not sure what they were looking for in the position I applied for and got shot down on. It was a technical writer spot which I’ve done a fair bit of in my current position. I suppose that they want someone who is like the Tolkien of tech writers who’s willing to work for minimum wage and already lives in the area. Well, that ain’t me (I’m no Tolkien, I won’t work for minimum wage, and I don’t live local to the place). Ah well. I could always go back to free-lancing, I suppose. I made decent enough money at that while in college.
I’m hoping to land a spot where I am, though, just in a different department. I’ll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, discussions with my current boss and employer are going to take longer than I’d really like. However, at least I’m getting paid until then and there’s a good chance I’ll walk out of here with a nice check which will help if I have to relocate back to the States.
Things are finally improving with my guild. We may have a good tank recruit joining up soon. We’re full on healeres, melee DPS, and we have plenty of ranged DPS. We got Cho’gall down Monday and we cleared all of BWD (except Neffy) on Wednesday. I think we have a good shot at getting Nef down on Saturday which would put us 11/12.
And now, back to work!

In other news, I’m currently looking for a new job. I’ve been kind of busy with that so I haven’t gotten as much writing done as I would like. Anyhow, back to it!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week’s update finishes up the Hyjal arc and starts an interlude between Hyjal and Vashj’ir.
Vashj’ir is my least favorite Cataclysm zone. I hated questing there and did it only to get the Loremaster achievement + rep from Earthen Ring for the tanking helm enchant. Vashj’ir, to me, felt almost as tacked on as Uldum. It just didn’t really seem to fit with the greater meta-narrative of Cataclysm. I think the developers thought “oh, hey, let’s make an underwater zone” and then did a pretty half-baked job of it.
At any rate, back to work.

And now, I have to go take care of some personal business.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week finishes up the Blackrock Caverns arc and starts the beginning of the end of the Mount Hyjal arc.
In other news, I’m still working on The Unexiled. I’ve had to go back and rework some earlier parts and tweak my outline a good bit. And, I’ve not spent as much time on it as I would have liked because I’ve been busy raiding and recruiting. Since Rift came out, I’ve had a lot of churn in my raiding ranks so I’m constantly having to teach people fights again and again. However, I’m hoping that we’ll be getting some stability back in the roster and that we’ll clear the normal modes in the next couple of weeks and start working down the heroics.
And now, back to work!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week takes us into Blackrock Caverns which is one of my more enjoyable dungeons. Honestly, ANYTHING is better than Deadmines (the one I usually get when I queue up). I’m several arcs ahead in my writing now and am getting much closer to another major milestone in The Unexiled. I’m hoping to finish it soon (I’ve only been saying that for a few years now) and start shopping around for an agent.
Anyhow, back to work!

And, since we had a special lunch today for a colleague who is leaving, I don’t really have time to say much more. So, back to work!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week’s update takes us through freeing Tortolla and Alayne’s continued work with infiltrating the Twilight’s Hammer in Mount Hyjal.
Progress continues apace on The Unexiled. I’m taking a vacation from work next week and will probably clear a good bit more of it. I’m hoping to block out enough time to get a solid 90% done but I am going to have to go back and rework some earlier sections that aren’t fitting in place correctly so I may not quite hit that target.
Anyhow, back to work!
