Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff examines how Star Wars novels are like roller coasters in her latest entry to "A Padawan's Journal." Check out the excerpt below and click here for the full read.
"As I build the opening chapters of Holostar for the first draft, I ask myself what sort of rollercoaster this will be. How big an opening drop or loop should it have? This is not a no-brainer. I?ve seen writers start out with opening ?bangs? so big that nothing they did after that was quite as engaging as that initial big whoop. And we?ve all read countless books that petered out or stopped just when they?d really gotten interesting."
Bohnhoff will dive into our love for droids in her next post.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
