This is a fun shake up! Once I started dabbling into writing some poems too, it only got as far as a few audience of my closest friends :)

A quest or an errand got me thinking too. A quest is a quest if it would take considerable time and effort to complete, and in most cases it wasn't so clear on how to get there in the first place....

Thanks, Rachel! A very sensible definition of a quest as well.

Love the poems! I read them in the style of Eminem, so I guess they were more like songs in my head. I think maybe this is just a symptom of being a 90's kid?

Thanks, Gabrielle! I love that you hear it in Eminem's voice. I think it's giving my poems more swagger than they deserve 😅 I would love to hear Eminem rap about a Terry's Chocolate Orange mind you.

Can def relate to autoplay - on the screen and in life!

The errand or quest conundrum is destined to spark some creativity with my TTRPG friends…I can just feel it!

Ooh hopefully it sparks a side quest or two down some rabbit holes. Thanks for the comment, Renee!

Enjoyed the poems! And also the consideration about quest vs errand; I'll be ruminating on that (between streaming episodes, obvs). Thanks Michael.

Thanks, Sabrina! Appreciate the comment. Let me know if you happen to make it out on any ambiguous quests/errands.

Hehe. Thanks, mate! I appreciate it. Yeah I guess it's just all side quests isn't it. I also think the side quests turn out to be the best quests. The one's we get distracted by. Either way I need a deadline for sure.
