Post subject:  I'm New

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. :)
God bless,

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.

I thought I was going to be the first too, Nemo, but Crush beat us to it. ;)

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! As others have already said, you can share your writing in the fireside, can't wait to see some of it! :D

Welcome, Ratchet! I hope we didn't scare you off with your craziness in chat last night. ;) Enjoy your time in the kingdom of HolyWorlds!

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*

Post subject:  Re: I'm New

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

Btw your name is kind of cool. Almost as nice as mine. :cool:
Welcome to Holy Words from another newbie.

Welcome!
*reminds herself to check this sub-forum more often*
*Apologizes for being late to congratulate both Noahs...*

Post subject:  Re: I'm New

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! ;)


!Noah!
