Arr, mateys... T' story's finally comin' together. I realised that I'd got a basic conflict o' intention goin' on... I was tryin' t' write it drawn-out and suspense-ridden, when what it demanded was crash, bang, wallop, all at once. It's still very hard t' do but at least all parts o' me head be pullin' in t' same direction now.

What? It be Talk Like A Pirate Day, ye scurvy landlubbers! Run yer own journal entries through this handy translator: http://talklikeapirate.com/translator.html or I'll come an' keel-haul yer arses like the bilge rats ye are...

Patience, cherub. I be gettin' on with it... ye'll not mind it all in pirate lingo, now, will ye?

God, is it Talk Like A Pirate Day again already? It seems like only yesterday it was Talk Like A Pirate Day 2003. How quickly time flies by. "Sunrise, sunset . . ."

Seriously, I remember reading Dave Barry's column about Talk Like A Pirate Day from last year. He offered the example of how the immortal line from The Godfather "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" would become "I'm gonna make him an offer that'll shiver his timbers."

Well, I've not seen ye using the lingo over in TrekLit, matey; call yerself a corsair?

Actually, it's two in the morning here so I guess I can stop now. But I talked like a pirate in every post I made on TBBS today... proud to be carrying on the tradition...

Well, I think "Talk Like A Pirate Day" be amusin', but I'm not goin' t' throw meself headlong into it. This post, though, I ran through t' translator.
