Well, writing could certainly be one of our occupations. However, I think we'd be more valuable for either our knowledge, or our attention to detail. Any good writer worth his salt is A) good at research, B) resourceful, C) highly attentive to detail (you have to be in order to nail down all those typos. lol.), and even D) a venerable bastion of knowledge, however limited the topic matter may be. Then again, we may simply be employed as scribes for those needing documentation of things.

Another skill or occupation we may end up filling is one that was lost a long time ago, but is preserved in some small degree at Ren Fests, and that's the job of the traveling story teller. I've seen information on these guys. They existed on every continent and in every region in the past, and they were used to carry around lore, and legends, tell stories, share news from far away places, and just generally entertain people. Sorta like a traveling mistral, only with stories rather than songs. (although I could probably sing too as I can carry a pretty good tune. lol.)
