Me

When I was twelve, I loved Star Wars. We only owned one Star Wars movie, Attack of the Clones, and I remember watching it over and over again, since it was the only Star Wars movie I could access regularly at the time. Along with my love of Star Wars was a love for reading. I enjoyed stories like Airborn, Peter and the Starcatchers, Harry Potter, and so many others. These stories peaked an interest in molding my own world. I began with a recreation of Star Wars. I started writing an origin story of some of my favorite characters, but over the years, I wanted more from the story. So I began writing my own story, taking elements from the base I had already created with the Star Wars characters. Today, this story has expanded from a single book project to a multi-book project.

This new passion for writing became a personal journey. As I’ve read more and seen more stories carried out my own story has grown deeper and new stories have developed. I hope someday my book will one day be published, but for the time being I wanted to create a place for like minded people to come and expeirance writing. Not something fancy and refined, but the gritty beginning stages all the way to the more thought out and refined.

On this sight you’ll find writing at all stages, from blogs that have little to no thoughts on editing, to stories that have been edited multiple times. There are pages dedicated to further expanding on characters in my book as well as detailed histories that continues to devlop as my story is written. You’ll find stories I haven’t written fully as well as a few stories I try to develop chapter by chapter with the intention of releasing it on this site as a episode like series.

Writing has become a deep part of my soul. It’s my comfort food. It doesn’t matter what form it comes in. Writing stories, writing blogs, journal entries, random thoughts. Each type gives me just a little bit of escape, even though, just like some comfort foods, taking the time to write comes with some sacrifice. 

So if you’ve happened upon my website, that’s what it is. Thoughts, blogs, stories, and sometimes just honest personal moments. It won’t always be grammatically correct. It might not always make sense. Sometimes, it may have too much religion. Sometime, it might go without an update. I write for my own enjoyment and just hope others can find a little joy in it as well. 

So take a seat, enjoy and welcome to the Gittins Writing Group.
