My name is Jordan Elizabeth, aka HeavenlyPrincess. I am finally joining you all here after learning about HW on nextgenwriters.com

I am on NaNoWriMo with the same username, and won nano twice! Once with a fantasy, once with a contemporary YA.

I'm also active on http://goteenwriters.blogspot.com (yeah, that's me on the leader board on the left "Jordan Newhouse")

I'm a homschool graduate and teach writing to homeschool students weekly. Some of them post their work here: http://itsaboutstory.wordpress.com

Sorta writing related is the fact that WhiteFire Publishing hired me to make a reproduction traveling outfit for the cover of their latest historical fiction which is coming out January 2012 (yes, I am a history nut. Quite obsessive about it, actually) pictures here: http://heavenlyprincessgallery.wordpres ... ess/#entry

And if that's not enough about me, you can visit my blog (yes, another link) http://heavenlyprincessblog.wordpress.com

Enough about me...
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

Jordan

Welcome, ma'am! You sound so exciting! :D I don't know why, I just get that essence! :D

So, you do art?! Me too. How do you work your cover pieces?

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

Thanks for the welcome. Well, I've never thought of myself as very exciting...(especially while lying sick in bed like right now) But we'll just have to see!

Yes, I do art, but for the cover, I used needles and thread rather than brushes and pens: (pic) http://heavenlyprincessgallery.files.wo ... /image.jpg

I love your blog, by the way!

Celestria - I mean your book idea, Evenstar, like you talk about on your blog. I thought you mentioned it on NextGen.

Oh... :blush: Yes that would be me then. *wonders how her own book slipped her mind when it's all she's been thinking about lately*

If you have anyone questions you would like answered in a post on there, please let me know! Also, it has some explanations on a couple of complex systems on here.

Hello, HeavenlyPrincess! :D I love your username. It's very beautiful. :D
*Throws blue glitter in the air which sprinkles softly over Heavenly.* Welcome to HW! I'm Azlyn, by the way. Also know as Az, Azzy, Azlyn, Mae, whatever you prefer. :) And I almost forgot! *Brings out a plate of brownies, which start to get covered in glitter* Enjoy! And the glitter is edible, so don't worry about it getting on the brownies. :D Also, if you have questions, feel free to ask me! I, like my dear friend Nemo, would love to answer any questions about the forum you might have! :D

Hi! Welcome to Holy Worlds! You seem to be one of those high energy people who just bounce of the walls!

The lies the world has told my children...
"you're ugly..."

"you don't know anything..."
How can you know nothing if I formed your mind with my own hand...
"you don't matter..."
How can you not matter when I made the sun and the stars with you in mind...
When you smile the world smiles back,
When you open your mouth the angels stop to listen,
The world was not made for anything greater than you,
You were made for something greater than it...
Why?
Because I love you.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, HeavenlyPrincess!

Another home-school graduate! How lovely!

Oh my word! You certainly are skilled with the needle! *jealous* :D I'm hoping to learn how to sew better this winter. So far I've only made a tote bag and draw-string skirt for rendezvous. :P

Pleasure to have you join us!
