I wrote this around a year and a half ago in one of my boredom driven stupors:
“Lieutenant, I’m not to be disturbed until you hear from me again. Understood?”
~Reply – clear, but obviously through an intercom: “Yes, sir.”
ETA to the Corellian system is two hours, forty minutes, according to the NAV computer. Some rest then…
“…a gigantic, enormous steamroller, with spikes on the drum (black, with an Imperial cog logo on it – of course). Rolling along crushing and leveling everything in its path. Unstoppable.
In its wake, what used to be lush, green, healthy planets, with happy inhabitants, are now a series of scorched, toxic, metal-clad marbles, full of compliant imperial drones…awesome…”
“BEEP – BEEP – BEEP!”
“Sir, sorry to disturb you, but we’ve intercepted a rebellion freighter. There’s a good chance it’s smuggling weapons.”
“Excellent lieutenant. I’ll be right there.”
“~sigh~”

Thanks man. I was kind of hoping you'd see it. I felt silly posting it though. I'm no writer.

If it's in this section, there's a good chance Karm would see it. No worries, I'm not much of a writer either, but these guys keep me going. But even those who don't write much, can still write something enjoyable, as evidenced here.

But even those who don't write much, can still write something enjoyable, as evidenced here. Precisely, sometimes less is very much more...a little scene like that is more than enough just to get an idea or characters nature across. You can do a lot in two or three paragraphs!

HA! Why thank you Dutch. While I won't put myself on the same level as any of you, I did keep a blog for a while... I'm consumed with other things now, so have totally neglected it. It was mostly cynical, sarcastic, philosophical non-sense...lol And as Lord_S_Gray pointed out, most were very short. Here's a funny character I created in my boredom though: link

QFT! Karm is EXACTLY right! By all means: write away!

Well cool. I might make a Major Flamethrower thread then. I wrote like 4 or 5 of those, and if I do create anything new, I'll be sure to share it with you guys.
To be honest though, reading and/or writing right now, isn't what I'm into...
Sabers...lol
