I started writing a story about a pirate girl, only it's horribly depressing and needs some fun scenes. I might extend it into a novel if I find the patience and don't get distracted (ha). And one of the cabin boys sounds a little too much like a certain friend, so I think I need to give him a more distinct personality. He was originally modeled after a good friend, but I think I need to distance those two, especially since the cabin boy attempts suicide later in the story and I don't want to think about my friend doing that. Poor cabin boy... I torture him more than I torture the main character. Oddly enough, in my mind she looks like a 12-year-old version of Anne, only dirtier and piratey-er. Heh. So the story needs some fun, or it will be a total downer. And the characters need to talk and act more like pirates and less like civilized pansies. Hmmm...
Well, I'm kind of hungry now, so off I go. *waves*
