Flash Fiction #3:

“I don’t want a new beginning…not after this…after everything I’ve been through to get to this point…when I’m done here, give me the end I’ve been striving for.”

Reblog and keep this going!

Where to find research

For research on individual topics, Google is your best friend, but make sure to check multiple sources to confirm facts you're given.

A General History of Pyrates by Charles Johnson

Under The Black Flag by David Cordingly

The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard

The National Museum of The Royal Navy

The Pirate King

A compiled list of Pirate Research

There's a graphic scene in Black Sails that depicts keelhauling, I'll link it here but if you're sensitive to any sort of gore, I advise you don't watch it. Linked here

A couple locations to look into...

Port Royal in Jamaica

Tortuga in Haiti

Nassau in the Bahamas

More things to consider

How many pirates in your pirate crew?

How does the crew operate? What is each member's responsibility on board?

What separates this crew from the rest?

Is every pirate bloodthirsty and ruthless, or is there more to them than that? Did they choose this life, or were they forced into it? Have they adapted, are they struggling? What about their parents? Shunned by the family, or supported?

What about the crew? Are they getting along? Is there power imbalance? A traitor, someone unreliable better to be rid of?

Who is their biggest enemy? What about allies?

Are they feared? Infamous? Or thought to be incompetent?

Who is more likely to cause harm? Who is the voice of reason?

Are they skilled at negotiating, or do they operate on fear?

The Quartermaster's authority

Loyalty to the Captain, and each other?

What do they do for fun? Are they heavy drinkers? Who holds onto their treasures? Who spends it all in one night?

As writers we seem to question everything with a certain curiosity that is only found in our kind.

Yet when someone doubts us we suddenly go back into our shell.

Why?

Think about it next time.

For the people who say the best way to relieve writer’s block is going outside and vibing with nature?

Where the fuck do you live? And can I be your roommate?

Because at first for me it was great. My doggo was on my lap and it was a good 23 C° then NEXT THING YOU KNOW MY NEIGHBOURS WERE GETTING DIVORCED AND SOME KIDS TRIED ATTACKING ME WITH STICKS.

dear fucking god why can’t I write? Why must the universe throw endless obstacles at me and my screen.

Isn’t this literally just the Batman v. Joker.

“Stop complimenting me while you’re trying to kill me!” the hero screamed. “I can’t help it!” shouted the villain, “You’re frickin’ awesome!”
