Hello all! I'm Irtor. I read and (try to) write fantasy and science fiction. (I read a number of other genres too, but my writing attempts are limited to speculative genres.) I look forward to spending time on this forum.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Irtor! Who are your favorite authors?

Hi Irtor, and welcome to Holy Worlds!

What are you working on writing at the moment?

Thanks for the welcomes!

I'd have to say J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Brandon Sanderson, Bryan Davis, and Donita K. Paul.

I've been trying to write the story of Coltard, a young man who joins the army of the Navlins (basically my elf-analogue) to help in their fight against their enemy, an evil serpent. I have about a dozen more story ideas that I haven't even started writing yet. When I try to write a novel, I usually seem to 1) know just what's supposed to happen at the beginning and end of the book, but not have any ideas for the middle, and 2) get caught up in worldbuilding and do more of that than actual writing.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Irtor!



Ah, don't worry. An abundance of story ideas is quite common among writers, or so I've heard.

That's totally what I do, too!
Welcome to Holy Worlds, Irtor! *shakes hand* It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Have fun!

Tolkien and Lewis are two of mine as well. I haven't read any Bryan Davis or Brandon Sanderson yet, but I hope to soon.

Yep, so I've heard. I'll get them all written eventually.

Glad I'm not the only one.
*shakes hand back*

Welcome Irtor!

Your story sounds great! And about worldbuilding and plot building, your not alone there.

Thanks!

Welcome to Holy Worlds Irtor!
*cracks heads with Irtor *

What is your favorite music? What are your hobbies? What are all the things you like doing best?

I look forward to you spending time on this forum as well!

Good man! Post it. (I have a lot of that to post myself!)
Get a world sub-forum in the Realms Beyond section, it helps organize your threads.

Elves against an evil serpent is an idea that needs to be written about.

Welcome tenfold!
*bows and offers you a pitaya *

Thanks, and ouch! *rubs head*
Music: Contemporary Christian Music, hymns, and anything Celtic or Hebrew.
Hobbies: Reading (of course), playing games with my family, learning about God's creation, computer programming (which is a hobby right now but may become my career), and you know, there's nothing like a good walk, but it's been a while since I've taken a good walk.
I may do that.
Ooh, thanks!

Ello! Welcome to HW! *bestows frilled lizard wearing a fez* *lizard sniffs pitya*

Come into chat sometime, yes? It gets crazy, but it's much fun. I live there. *points to location status*

Welcome to the madness! *throws dragon-shaped confetti*

Thanks!

Big welcome to HW, Irtor.

Thank you!

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here. *thinks up something random* What is/are your favorite food(s)? Color(s)?

Thanks!
Food: Um, pizza.
Color: When I was little, my favorite color was red, because of Elmo, but nowadays it's sky blue.
