The last installment of On Board the Bateel, written ages later.

On Board the Bateel

On Board the Bateel was the first piece I wrote for this blog. It was completed during my studies on the relationship between art and the sea in Kuwait.

It's the story of one kept man, serving on a diving ship and battling temptation.
I kept a lot of the original sea terms in there to make it more authentic. I didn't provide any glossary at the end, but I might in the future.

I'm swimming in murky water, pretty much blind, commenting or leaving any notes, will surely help steer me true.

Intro post

I'm kind of terrified of making this first post, because it cements my will to start and maintain a blog with such a controversial topic.
I suppose the best way to start would be to just introduce myself and this blog first.

Hi, I'm Writer, aka the starter of this mad project.

Mad project on the other hand is an idea I came up with one hot and dusty day. I come up with a lot of projects, and this one in particular interests me as a wishful person who wants to be a writer, but can only practice their hands at the forbidden art of m/m stories.

Due to the nature of this blog, please be advised that it is 100% not for kids. Also due to the sensitive topic and location, nothing explicit will be posted/published but will most certainty be written.

Awkward intro out of the way, I'm curious if this page will wither and die like all so many others, or attempt to flourish.

Questions, thoughts, threats? Comments are available for all of these.
