Hello everyone! My username is SwordmaidenforChrist (as you already probably have noticed), but you can call me SmfC, SM, SfC, Swordmaiden, or simply Maiden. I'm a christian homeschooled girl, and I live somewhere on planet Earth. I like reading, writing, and lots of other things!
This November (for the first time ever!) I signed up for NaNoWriMo, and I have almost written my first novel! It's a christian allegory and it's called The Chosen One. It currently has 30,000 words. I hope that I'll be able to publish it someday.
Well, I can't think of anything else to say so I think I'll just end this post...

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.

A user from another forum posted it in the quote thread. It's an edited version of Aragorn's speech in The Return of the King. :rofl:

Thanks for the quote Vili! :)

HEY! *flytacklehug* AWESOME TO HAVE YOU ON THE FORUM! :D

I'm so glad to have you here! If you have any questions feel free to ask anyone with a yellow name. ;)

It sounds like you'll fit in wonderfully here. What is your Nano novel about?

Azriel- And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart? You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back to me. Don't come back at all...

Welcome to the Holy Worlds Fantasy forum!!! I hope you enjoy everything so far! :D I love the Aragorn quote! I though it was really witty. ;) I'm not in NaNoWriMo, but I admire those who work against such deadlines. :)

Well, the username I usually use is Eirwyn. I decided to try something new on here, but I couldn't really get used to everyone calling me "Swordmaiden". Sometimes I actually thought that people were talking to someone else when they called me that! :P :rofl:
