That said, one of the reasons I wanted to join this site is to be able to talk with others who have the same aspirations that I do. I just discovered this site today so I haven't really had much time to look around yet and read what many of you have written. I look forward to doing that though, and I look forward to reading what you have to say about our common passion.

I feel like one of the greatest gifts that God has given to us is the gift of creativity and when we use that gift to glorify Him there are few things in this world better.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Ben! (I hope you don't mind the nickname.) Glad to have you here. Do you have any favorite fantasy authors or books?

Welcome to HW Benjaminiah!! We're always glad to have new people!

How long have you been a seminary student?



You've come to the right place. Holy Worlds is an amazing community of writers. *Points at chat button* A lot of talking goes on in there - it's a good way to get to know people around here.



Well said. The purpose of the things we do should be to bring God glory. He's given each person special talents that reflect His glory and when we use them He is glorified - no matter how small the thing done may seem.

Oh, almost forgot! *Hands you some cookies* These are for you, it's HW tradition to give virtual food at intro threads. *Throws glitter into the air*

That's a great nickname. I can see that it's a combination of biblical names, so does it have a special meaning?

Being a Lewis and Tolkien fan is sort of a given around here. A fair few of us dressed up when we saw (or are going to be seeing) The Hobbit.

You should post some of what you've written, even if it's just on world building. We can't get enough of it 'round 'ere.

Welcome, Ben! I'm glad you found us, and look forward to seeing you around.



Well said, I agree entirely.

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

A pastor and a writer seem like two things that can fit very well together.

Welcome, welcome, Ben! I am glad you joined, and I hope that Holy Worlds is as encouraging and helpful for you as it has been for me. You may discover that these people become much like a second family. I know they did for me, and I'm excited to see another person join the huge family.

As for favorite authors and books, I'm a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien as well as C.S. Lewis. I have also just started the Mistborn series and I have been told by several people that I need to read the Wheel of Time books as well.

There really isn't a special meaning attached to it. If I remember correctly, i think my friends and I were talking about biblical names and someone just threw out the name Benjaminiah for me and it stuck.

As for some of my own stuff, I could post some of my worldbuilding stuff from my most recent project. Where would I do that?

The nickname's just fine. Actually, benjaminiah is a nickname I was given in seminary. Ben is my actual name! As for favorite authors and books, I'm a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien as well as C.S. Lewis. I have also just started the Mistborn series and I have been told by several people that I need to read the Wheel of Time books as well.

benjaminiah is an awesome nickname. Any story behind it?

Well, you are quite at home among Lewis and Tokien fans here. Have you seen The Hobbit already?

Welcome, Ben! It is great to see you over here. *places a plate of double chocolate brownies on the table*

*borrows Lycanis' glitter CRPG and shoots off a glitter rocket*

WELCOME!

Welcome to Holy Worlds, benjaminiah! *hands benjaminiah a piece of apple pie* Hope you like pie.

Apple pie is fantastic.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Ben. Hope to see you around!
