Part 8 of 9 of Let's Read 'Dark Force Rising'. . . and we’re back. NaNoWriMo ’12 was fraught with obstacles this year, including a cold, allergies, a sinus infection, an entire day in line for Black Thursday, and Thanksgiving with the family. If my critiques have changed slightly, it’s probably from the weird little [...]

Part 6 of 9 of Let's Read 'Dark Force Rising'This week is my first time writing a Let’s Read entry that isn’t just a few new paragraphs on a massive blog post.

Part 4 of 9 of Let's Read 'Dark Force Rising'Just a little more Leia and then we’re going to switch scenes to our ‘strong female character’! 16% Leia also wants to bring C3PO to translate. It’s a shame we didn’t do that in the last book and save ourselves the pointless Wookiee-who-can-speak-Basic headache. “Good.” Leia [...]
