A great leap forward often requires two steps back.
–Obi-Wan Kenobi
Hey, look at that… *points at all the pretty gorgeous serviceable handwriting*
Sorry, but that’s always what I imagined Obi-Wan’s hand to be like. Not the messy handwriting he annotates his textbooks in…
But the neat, elegant hand of a gentleman, from a more civilized age… *shakes self out of reverie*
What was I going to talk about, anyway? Almost certainly not how much more gorgeous Obi-Wan’s theoretical handwriting is than mine… *gets swatted upside the head for excessive praise of the beauty of the text*
Oh, right. A great leap forward often requiring two steps back. Well, here are the two steps back…
- My laptop getting damaged by the water I spilled on the keyboard, thanks to Raya and her habit of leaving her clothes everywhere (and also the fact that I thought I had put the laptop away when I actually hadn’t… *swats self upside the head for excessive stupidity*)
- The fact that we can’t find the Internet modem fob USB thingummy for the computer downstairs. Double gah! *gets swatted upside the head again, this time for using the word “thingummy” and the sound of dubious status as a word, “gah”*
So, what’s the great leap forward?
How about 5k more words on my novel? How’s that for progress, eh?!
So yeah, I feel kind of good about that… *gets swatted upside the head by Han, for getting cocky* Hey! Han, I thought I had banished you from my mind palace until you’re needed!
Well, hope you enjoyed this post… I have to go chase Han and arrest him for trespassing on private mental property. ‘Bye!

Han doesn’t get to swat people upside the head for cockiness until Leia, Luke, Chewy, and Obi-Wan all do it to him in return. *nods*
X-P My thoughts exactly. ;-P
I’d always imagined the annotations in The Jedi Path to be pretty accurate – you know, if one’s in a rush – or trying to fit one’s thoughts in around someone else’s – one’s handwriting deteriorates somewhat. But of course inaccurate in that it’s actually the wrong alphabet. Ah well.
I think Obi-Wan wanted to ‘swat Han upside the head’ when the young maniac was boasting about the Falcon’s speed, at Eisley. ‘I can make the Kessel run in under four parsecs.’ Idiot. A parsec is a measure of distance. Which, although ‘flying is for droids’, Obi-Wan would have known perfectly well. But been forced to hold his peace for the sake of cover.
True… But I think he actually had nice handwriting. ;-P
Okay.
