In addition, the Masters Degrees come in handy for the forum. The spelling.......well I used old terms, and said FOOD. My stepsister is a technical writer for University of Memphis, and you know what, she is not fun to hang out with either. Hit her with some pirate slang and she starts twitching.
Thanks for the advice, I am writing a piece about a ship, which starts in Southampton, England, and ends up with misfortune at the hands of those seeking forbidden treasure. I am also trying to pull off some live action events for fun and charity to go along with it. Making the story, characters, props, food, costumes, and weapons has been overwhelming. I had a big crew to start and I am sure everybody knows how the lazy, and lame drift away at prospects of work. Jumping ship has been the way of things. Other project have had the same results and done extremely well in the end. Exercising this idea is my only hobby, work, past time, and, activity. It has become a challenge that has taken on a life on its’ own. Making props so far has yielded: Real Stocks, double stocks, hanging cage, knifes, backdrops, belts, Tomahawks, costumes, mannequins, bodies, chest, barrels, crates, dyed rope, chains, shrews fiddle, shell necklaces, bamboo cups, coconut cups, captains log book, and still working. Going to be great time live action, or the most authentic pirate room in three states.
The muddy river brings no pirates to the area, and here I sit planning for the future by dwelling in the past. Good thing I have a great job or I would be walking the beaches around Cape Horn.
