Nov 26, 2010 09:55

I've been re-reading some of viva_gloria's 1200 word Sentences at impofperversity lately (amazing writing, I bow to her brilliance), and this 200 words drabble is composed in that style. trinityday, Drabble Mate at blackpearlsails, seems to be posting some strangely apt prompts of late, considering the recent birth of my new grandson, whose company I've been enjoying here at my daughter's home for ( Read more... )

Typical father-to-be, I'm sure. :)

The 200 word long sentence works excellently! Also, that style rather fits the subject. Lovely, as always, and I especially liked the beginning, with: Jack Sparrow generally sailed from island to island, but there was one time when he paced the distance between Martinique and Barbados...

Thank you! I'm so glad to know you enjoyed this!

Could see this so perfectly and it pains to know Jack to be so helpless in the light of the world. Thank goodness he was removed from the Great Cabin, so that Harry could perform her part without the sad and fearful scrutiny of a distressing Jack. I love this style, the blush of a landslide of words all tumbling arse over teacups to achieve a goal, to give the tale of the tale. You done good, this one of course being Tom's birth I'm thinkin'.

AND!! TADA--a mere, let's see, a mere 36 days until Harry and Jack's adventure resumes...YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GMa2-----------SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Only 34 days, 23 hours, 23 minutes, 22,21.....now. Ohboyohboyohboy! And no, I'm not the least bit excited, pleased, happy, nor nothing like...;-DDDD

Thank you! And yes, Tom's birth.

What a treat to know you're counting the days until H&theP6! I do hope it fulfills your hopes. I must say it's been great fun to write. Since my little grandson made his appearance a week early, I'm running a little behind where I'd planned to be, but hopefully will catch up and finish soon, working on Chapter 18 today, and some of 19 is already written.

Happy Holidays! And thank you again for the lovely comments -- I'm so glad you enjoyed this.

This is so perfect - Jack, all wound up and worried and thinking in run-on sentences. That is exactly how I imagine him acting in such a situation. Wonderful job, and I'm very excited for more Harry and the Pirate :)

The One Sentence style certainly seemed suited to this situation, pretty much wrote itself, lol! I'm so happy you're enjoying the Harry & the Pirate universe, especially since my brain is stuck there at the moment, what with finishing up Blood and Treasure. Thank you very much for reading and commenting! I really appreciate it.
