Shakespearify Your Writing

5


5 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Mar 02, 2017

An English Message Follows,

Hast thou found thy written work lacking in pith? Looketh thee upon thy composition with contempt for its facile nature and hollow countenance? Fret no more dear friend for a solution is yet at hand.

Be it for an amorous epistle or a mere lively discourse, elevation and ofttimes arcanisation of speech can, in the most peculiar of hearts, a sense of strange joy bring.

For naught but a fool's pittance, this humble scribe will thy message recompose, nay transform into an imitation of the art of that greatest of bards, William Shakespeare.

If, by his lack of merit, the writer did thy sensitivities offend, save ye yet thy spite for, although it be written, the words were but in jest. Should such a jest to thine spirit appear, contact ye anon the scribe through personal message or carrier pigeon.

-------------------------

For a bit of linguistic fun, I'm offering to edit a small piece of writing to make it look like it came from Shakespeare's time. I'm not an expert on Early Modern English but I have studied a lot of Shakespeare and I've been told I do a decent job of imitating his style.

Training & Qualifications


I am something of an English language nerd who loves to play around with more arcane forms of writing. I thoroughly enjoy taking modern, occasionally mundane writing and giving it more of an archaic flavour.

Availability & Preferences


I'm usually free on weekdays

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Stephen Gagné

For as long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed learning new things. As a result, I'm constantly picking up new hobbies and interests. I have yet to come across a subject that I haven't had at lea...st a passing interest in. I love watching documentaries and occasionally visiting obscure or arcane museums. In university, I came to realize that my real passion in life is sharing knowledge. I've had the opportunity to teach most of the things that interest me and I can honestly say that one of my greatest motivations is seeing people's eyes light up when something new dawns on them. When I'm not working, I can usually be found on the dance floor. One of my latest serious hobbies is 1940s Lindy Hop. I'm an active volunteer within the Ottawa Swing Dance community and have even started teaching dance a little. I'm interested in just about everything but my more serious hobbies include reading, writing, photography and going to just about every kind of museum out there. I'm proud to call myself a nerd and enjoy talking about science and science fiction as well. I have a profound interest in art as well. I wouldn't go so far as to call myself an artist but I like to experiment with different styles and techniques. One of my life goals is to learn more about art since I feel it's too easily overlooked in our career focused society. In short, I'm a nerd who is interested in just about everything. I love to both gain and share knowledge with other people. Feel free to get in touch if you think I can help or you just want to "nerd out".show more
