RE: Millennials In The Time Of Ghosts And Pirates—Five Minute Freewrite
Howdy sir Glen! haha! Great writing, I'm glad you didn't stop at the 5 minute mark because it was a great start at that point! Even scaliwags are no match for Millenials!
Apparently, they're not. Even scary ghost pirate scalawags. :)
Considering there wasn't much there in the first five minutes, I pretty much had no choice. This wasn't one of those times where things just downloaded, and I kept fussing with wordsmithing. I have a rudimentary idea of how people talked in the 17th and 18th centuries, but it's mainly through movies, so I was looking up words that might be appropriate for pirates of that era and then trying to figure out what I wanted the lads to say, with a more modern twist, even though millennials of that day probably would have sounded quite different.
Anyway, mostly me trying to entertain myself. :)
haha! so you spent a ton of time on that! but the langauge was great and after all your research it was probably spot on too!
