When I saw Star Wars for the first time (in its entirety) over a decade ago, I could never have imagined the journies it would lead me on, or the people I would meet along the way. As I type this, I have been involved with Star Wars as a contributor to the Star Wars Insider (Issue #74), Star Wars Gamer (Issue #9), and many issues of Scrye (for the Star Wars CCG); I spend a good part of my fandom playing in and running tournaments for Decipher's Star Wars card game; I am a part of an incredible group of Fanboys.
But most of all, Mr. Lucas helped me realize that telling stories was really what I needed to do. His work stands as a beacon of integrity, and that all anyone needs to be successful is faith and passion. I hope one day I get the oppurtunity to contribute to Star Wars through my writing.
[Note: I also have another weblog where I frequently post about the writing craft and other brain ramblings and views.]
