Taylor Clogston replied to the topic The story of me in the forum Introduce Yourself 6 years, 11 months ago
@pookiemonster There is a surprisingly robust argument that Jar Jar is in fact a dark force user who is directly and maliciously responsible for many events in the prequels.
There are great videos and Reddit posts that I wentw bother finding now because I’m on mobile, but a good amount of the argument lies in ep 1:

@pookiemonster Hello back! On Star Wars…I liked the first six, but selling to Disney was a mistake, in my opinion. I also think everything in the entire saga was Jarjar’s fault, and I really want an Obi-wan Kenobi movie.

Hey guys… It is I… Wordsmith. *nods*
Not long ago I took a long break from all this online stuff… and I finished the first draft of my novel.

The word-wars have been amazing.…[Read more]

Hey guys, this week our weekly discussion is from Brandon Miller.
(oh. me.)
How and What to Read as Writers:
Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for stories started on the other side of the experience — as readers. Now that we’re writing, it’…[Read more]

@futuro, thank you! and nice to meet you
Have you ever heard of Frank Peretti? He’s a christian author. His books are mainly on spiritual warfare. I’ve only read his teen books, but they’re really good. He could kinda be labeled horror by some people, but I like his stuff because its truth.
