#ScribesAndMakers 2026.02.05 — You now have the same occupation as the main character of your current WIP (or book you are reading/last read) What job are you doing?
I am running orders between a mob boss and his lieutenants, reminding clients that they need to pay their insurance bill (protection money) or collecting interest (on a loan shark loan), tailing a mark to learn about their habits (I'm stealthy), or accepting delivery of herbs (to be made into contraband). I'm a courier for the mob. Even though I've been blackmailed, I'm still a criminal.
