h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I will be writing a new story and not continuing the one that I tried to make while I was in "Get Writing".

The following is the outline, which is from the letter that I sent to one of my new found friends in the world outside of the Internet!:

I have been thinking about, aside from thinking about Roman equestrian riders, writing a story about a girl who goes into a library and finds a diary that was written by a British Isle man several centuries ago. I am fascinated with the 18th century for several reasons but my prominent reason is the seafaring of that age. I mostly like the mariner folk; and many of them were Irish. [I was wondering if the diary was written by an Irishman who had to learn English in order to do business with the English while as a fisherman/and mariner.] Well, my basic story is about a girl reflective of ME living in the 21st century who finds a diary in a library written by a man (either Edward Stukley or Kenneth Anderson) from the 18th century, and she is able to understand what is written in it because the English is not wholely alien to read. In the diary, what is written in English looks like it was for practice but with an intent to write articulate and smart thoughts. She then gets the idea to write back to the man by writing a message to him in his diary. She at first thought it would be funny to write French, because she is part French, but then she finally decided not to. Then, meanwhile in the 18th century when the guy was alive, he gets the message as he sees it manifest in front of him or when he opens his diary one day and sees that a strange and new message is there addressed to him. A correspondence is then established, or he first does the job of making sure that his friends weren't fooling him by playing a joke on him. Now I would like to have the story about an Irishman who had to learn English because of the time and situation he was living in. Well, I am writing this story soon and I was wondering if you would like to read it? You know a lot MORE about folk music during the 18th century than I do, so if you would read my story your critique of it would help me be a better writer. I would also like to entertain you because I am entertaining As well, I have magic in the story which is already hinted at starting with how the correspondence between the girl and the Irishman was established. Okay, the story will be about Edward Stukley and Leiann first establishing a correspondence, and then Leiann is transported to where and when Edward Stukley is. I have a big plot called the British Isles and the neighbouring Atlantic in which the story takes place. In the British Isles and on the ocean, Leiann thinks her manifestation is the best and scariest travelling she has done yet, but there are also other fabulous adventures. One of the adventures involves Leiann luckily not being sent to Bedlam or to any other mental asylum because her new found friends believe that she is more entertaining outside of the mental asylums. *The story will also go into the Pacific*

[the following is an afterthought and wasn't in my letter]

I've had to change the name Edward, of Mr. Stukley, to an Irish name. I found the Irish version of Edward, which is Eadbhárd.

But Eadbhárd's name was always written down in the English form, and so he keeps the English version. Whewph! I simply explained that, but I have to really show that in my story.

Sounds interesting Look forward to it!
