A fledgling hedonist has lost her way...

Greeting fellow Fallen Londoners, I've been gallivanting about Veilgarden for a few days now, which has been quite fun. However now that I've set my sights on entering high society I'm having a spot of trouble deciding what to do with myself at any given moment. My initial explorations into the process have been causing scandal to build around me at an alarming rate, and my attempts to curry favor with the Melancholy Curate has mostly just left me with giant piles of candles that I'm not sure if I want or need.
My current idea is to perhaps just start taking trips to Ladybones Road, to see more of London and branch out my talents a bit while my scandal dies down. Though I've also been considering working towards just collecting echoes. I'm not sure which would be best, or even what I'd buy with them if I went the second route, or if either's the best way to spend my time, I definitely feel as though there is not much entertainment to be had with my current endeavors.
Also I had some miscellaneous questions, such as is fate obtainable through any gameplay actions? If I do get some fate, what are some recommendations for how to use it? The long lost daughter story sounded interesting to me as it sounded like it likes to pop up throughout the game, as well as a Peculiar Personal Enhancement (what self-respecting hedonist wouldn't appreciate a second tongue?), I'm more interested in extra fun and stories than any sort of mechanical advantage. What is the best way for me to make echoes at this point? (My persuade is 50, my other skills are around 10ish) I've been using my spare energy when I'm too busy to play much to offer my condolences to the abiding wife, which has given me 430 romantic notions, which I've valued at half a echo per energy (the best I've found). Though I'm thinking I'll just use them to buy the townhouse instead of sell them at this point.

If you're having difficulties in one area, definitely consider visiting other places and following the stories there. You will eventually need all of your stats around 100 to become a Person of Some Importance.

You can take the time and explore more of London. There's plenty of text in the other locations as well, plenty of cool things to do. Each of the four stats has a "Making Your Name..." sequence associated with it, which takes you through a few areas if you follow it.
