Star Wars: Episode I – Chapter VI

August 9, 2012

The small ship touched down lightly on the swampy surface of the uninhabited regions of Naboo. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan hurried down the ramp and began scouting the area, following Dex’s map of possible locations for the Gungans’ various hiding places. They had found nothing at their first stop, and time was running out. This time […]

August 7, 2012

Star Wars: Episode I – Chapter V

August 2, 2012

Qui-Gon knocked lightly on the door. “Anakin, it’s Qui-Gon, can I come in?” “Yes.” Qui-Gon stepped in and found Anakin sitting on his bed, still and silent. Qui-Gon knew he was upset about leaving Lakshmi behind, and was unsure of how to comfort the boy. The circumstances of their departure had been different from planned, […]

July 26, 2012

The group ate their celebratory dinner and congratulated Anakin on a job well done. He sat beside his mother, wanting to hold on to every last minute with her, knowing it would never be enough. Anakin was becoming fearful and anxious – a feeling that was completely alien to him. As the night wore on, […]

Star Wars: Episode I – Chapter III

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon watched as Anakin worked diligently on the last details of his pod. It was early in the morning, with the sun barely peeking up over the horizon, illuminating the endless expanse of barren desert, and casting long shadows where it touched the worn-down buildings of the little town. Anakin wore a serious […]

July 12, 2012

The Queen had yet again insisted that Cordelia accompany them into town. Qui-Gon had protested this time, but even a Jedi Master did not seem capable of winning an argument with a woman. “Majesty, I really don’t feel that this is in the best interest of the mission or your handmaiden – if something were […]

Star Wars: Episode I – Chapter I

July 5, 2012

Ten years later… Another spike of power rippled through the Force, then dwindled down and disappeared into the steady energy that made up the ties that bound the universe together. Yoda had been tracking these subtle changes in the Force for weeks now. He referenced his calendar, making note of significant dates. The surges were […]

Star Wars: Episode I – Prologue

June 28, 2012

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…  Master Yoda made his way down the hall, tired after a long day of teaching the younglings and padawans. The sun was low on the horizon, casting its deep, orange light across the walkway and creating long shadows along the corridor. As he turned to […]

The Opposite of Writer’s Block – Writer’s Overflow? Writer’s Flood?

June 25, 2012

Sometimes, you sit down to write, and you get nothing. Absolutely nothing. You just stare at the page (or screen) and try to make something interesting happen. Other times, stories just hit you. For me, it’s usually when I’m doing something menial. My last instance of this was when I was cleaning the kitchen after […]
