Backburner?...

Dear Lady U, presuppose the following scenario...

A friend of yours were to be taken ill. She would be taken to her bed for a while, not by a pirate of splendid vigor and cheekbone, but by the scoundrel Captain Scar himself! She would writhe her hands impatiently till she were well enough to fend for herself with her pen, but till then...

She pines for a yarn of adventure! Or maybe even an entire rigging of thunderous narrative prowess that would rehabilitate her spirit and rouse her to deeds of Vice and Valor!

Or a young maiden of good standing and breeding, the Lady J in training, would wish you to spend some page or two writing a tale of swash and buckling kickass exploits so that instead of dreaming in Pink or whatever it is young women dream in these days, she could dream of pillage and plunder and planks buckling under the weight of hapless youths who could not match her in battle!

Would you then say, if two ladies, both alike in dignity, pleaded with you, Mistress of the High Waters of Adventure, Published Author, would you say that a tale of Wicked Pirateology would be confined to the backburner like fish stew? Would you let your friends while away their youths sighing to a distant future?

I think NOT.

What do YOU think?
