My Writing

 

    I like to write.  The first epic tale i produced in written word was in the first grade.  I filled my piece of paper front and back with the epic tale of an ant creatively named Chris who got lost and went thru a series of misadventures trying to get home.  At the age of seven i was writing my own version of The Odessey.  :)  It was the first time in my memory that i got positive attention for something i did instead of negative attention.  So of course, i kept right on doing it.  I dont feel however that i have much of a future as a professional writer, as my ADD gets in the way of my writing more than just a little.   I'm currently working on three short stories and a feature length screenplay, and i also have another idea for a new short story swimming around in my head.

    So anyway, without further delay, here are some examples of my writing.  If there's no link for something, then that means i want to post that story, i just havent been able to find it on my computer yet.  Arent I organized?

 

"Daggerscout"  - This is the first part of the story of Teke Daggerscout, Galactic Reject.  :)  Well in this one he is anyway.   Set in the Star Wars galaxy, this is a depressing tale of woe in which i basically tortured the poor character.  When i wrote this, i was sixteen years old, and this was my first serious attempt at writing anything outside of a school assignment.   This was also when my Star Wars obsession flared up BIG TIME.  I was depressed, not liking school, not getting along with anyone, and my sister was in the hospitol with cancer.  I used this as an escape from a world i hated, from a life i loathed.  What i love about this story is that everything is exact within the star wars galaxy.  Slang terms, technology, society, timeline, everything.  I was disappointed that my teachers or family couldnt appreciate that, so i went online to find an audience.  And thats how i came to be in the RS.  (see Links for info on the RS)

 

"Daggerscout 2: Thumper Commandos" - Obviously, this is the second part.  This is a little less dark, and a lot better written structure and style-wise, and also in character development.  After i finished the first story and got a positive responce, i knew i could do even better, so this is what i wrote to prove that to myself.

 

"Daggerscout 3: Untitled" - This is one of the stories currently being written.  As opposed to being the excersise in writing the other two were, i was writing this solely to develop the character of Teke Daggerscout.  And its turning out rather well.  I've gotten comments from several diffrent people that it reads just like a Stackpole novel.  LOL while i truely doubt that its THAT good, i'm happy with it so far.  Just have to finish it so i can post it.  :)

 

"Tim Montana and the Sky Chickens" - This i wrote for an English class in college, and i just love it to death.  Its the ultimate in strangeness.  The excersise was this:  We were given a MASSIVE list of completely unrelated random words, and we were to write a story that included ALL of the words.  Most people ended up with these five to seven page stories trying to use all the words and still have a story.  Well, i managed to cram the words in so tight, i hardly had any words at all that werent on the list!  It was...  i believe less than two pages long.

 

"Vicky Did It" - This i wrote while i was in high school.   I dont remember what for, but i'm pretty sure it was a class assignment.   Anyway, i was pokeing fun at my English teacher, who was really young, but came across as a little prudeish.  I just exaggerated her character and let my imagination go.  In film school i adapted this to screenplay, but never shot it.
