Hi! I'm Noah.

I've written a bit over the last five years, little of which passed ten chapters, and none of which has been put to paper. I've been interested in writing, and, dare I say, somewhat talented, for some time now, but haven't really done anything worthwhile with it.

I'm an almost-19-year-old living in southeastern Minnesota, I've been homeschooled my entire life, and I distinctly dislike wine. I've run for president at least twice, survived an ejection during a rollover crash, and am about as good a Christian as the Joker was a fabulous barber.

Although, given his zany hairdos through the years, I wouldn't be surprised if he did have some talent. *pensive*

Anyway. I'm looking primarily for a place to get criticism, comments, and praise for my rather meager work, and hopefully advance my talent and accomplishments.

One question. Hard as I looked, I couldn't seem to find a forum/topic where one is encouraged to post their writing and perhaps receive comment...is that just not the way things are done here, or am I missing something?


!Noah!

Welcome, Noah! :wave:

You just missed it. Go to the Fireside. :)

Ahoy Noah! :salute:

Welcome to our fair forum!

*gaspeth* I am the first one to welcome you! That means you get this: GREEN GLITTER EXPLOSION! EDIT: I was
the first to welcome you, except Crushmaster posted first, then I edited, and then Daisy posted first (I guess I took too long to type :P )... :( I'm sure I was the first to notice though, so keep the glitter!

:D Yes, there is a place to post your writing and get feedback. It's in the Fireside. However, sometimes I haven't always succeeded in getting the feedback I wanted, so I would also suggest finding a few people you could PM your story and get feedback. We also have a critique group in the Fireside that you should be able to find easily.

You sound like an all-around-fun-guy type person. :D I'm so glad you have joined our forum, and I hope you enjoy staying on here! Join us in chat sometime! It can get kind of hectic. :P :D

Once again: WELCOME!

PS We have some very helpful threads stickied in this sub-forum if you'd like to take a look.

Aye, but I distinctly remember looking at the line of "who's viewing this" and saw only my name and Noah's. So I must have at least seen it first... :D ;)

Noah,

Glad you could make it! *grin* Didn't take to long though! Are you a member just in the fantasy or also in Sci Fi?

I almost missed you with all thses posts!

DaisyMaid: Thanks! It's actually a gamertag I used while playing Bad Company 2.

*cricketchirp*

Annnyway...

Captain Nemo: thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to check out the chat!

Thanks, y'all! I feel deeply coveted. I'll probably post some story or other at the Fireside some time soon. :D

Eruvande: Not yet a member in both. I'm not sure my typical story fits in either category...more likely both, but even then, it's a stretch.

It seemed to me like fantasy, though, could more adequately accommodate the madness which typically issues from my keyboard.


!Noah!

Welcome, Noah! Nice to meet you.
I think I saw another Noah above you in the the intros room. Oh dear. It's going to be just like the situation we had when kingjon joined us.
*hides, terrified, at the thought of what might happen when someone realises that two people have the same name* :rofl:
If you have a preferred nickname, speak up. Someone will likely come up with something odd. :twisted:

*leaves to warn the others, but not before adding some blue glitter to la Capitaine's green glittershower*

Hi Orange! *Pushes her way through all the new posts on this thread to bring her welcome brownies* *sets out brownies* Great to have you! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the forums! :D

Just curious, does your username have a meaning? (It's interesting to call someone Orange. :rofl: )

Bonjour Noah!! I realize there are two different Noah's here in HW!!!! But dont worry... everything's gonna be alright... I'll make up a nickname for you very soon... if I see you in chat sooner!! My nicknames are usually very random but they make sense... most of the time... :D Okay so I sure am glad you're here!! I love new people!! I hope you find us people comforting and sweet(crazy) enough for you! ;) We welcome you into our family... *hands blue cake that looks like a mini beach... explodes with puffs of green smoke and golden glitter*

Oh my, they're right about the name! Haha! Hey, what about MNoah? MN + Noah = MNoah! Okay, maybe I'm being a tad ridiculous. I'm terrible at coming up with nicknames. *my poor future children* :rofl:

That sounds like me. I tend to bounce between two stories that way if I contract writer's block in one story, I can be re-inspired to work on the other story. I can't really judge my gift in writing since very few people have read any of my work due to the lack of finished projects. :P

If you want here's a direct link to The Fireside. It's nicely organized according to what you want to post writing-wise. ^^

Glad to have you join us! How did you find out about Holy Worlds? Do you and Eruvande know each other outside of Holy Worlds?

Questions, questions! :D

Wooow. Thanks, everyone. *goes through welcomes*

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks...

J. Grace: thanks! *noms*

Aldara/thebookbabe: Fear not! I can go by Noah, Ratchet, or even Orange! They all work fine for me, and, honestly, I prefer the latter two. :D

Calen: I do know Eruvande outside of HW...we used to go to the same church, and we've sort of kept up contact since then. :D

Noah: Glad to meet you, Noah! Welcome to Holy Worlds! :D

Aleena: Thanks! I'm also late in thanking you. We're totally even! ;)
