"Fear not the sea, for those who are born to hang shall never drown" - Ancient Proverb
Based on the true story of the pirate Howell Davis, a sailor in the early 18th century strongly opposed to the life of a pirate but finds himself between two evils and is forced to make a fateful decision.
I've always enjoyed writing and I have an interest in piracy so I decided to try to write a story. I'm about 2/3 through and I'd like to start sharing it with others and see what they say. Please feel free to add any comments. I'd rather know what isn't good so I can become a better writer. Thanks!

Raw Winter
WARNING: It contains dark themes and implications of mental and sexual abuse. This persists consistently until chapter 20--chapter 20 being the point in which the story shifts from the perspective of her abuse to the aftermath and her becoming a sea captain. A little girl is taken from her average life as a baker's daughter into the world of slavery and piracy. After her mother angers a proud noble, Winter is taken by the crew of the pirate captain, Hades Smith, and sold as a slave far from home to a man that doesn't recognize her as a person, with a violent and unpredictable doctor at his right hand pulling the strings. Will she survive the weight or will she crumble? This character is based on a character played in an RP made by Tea Dracula. Any negative backlash towards this piece should, however, be in no way affiliated with her as the character and backstory were created by me.Concluida
