Hey guys! So I'm new. (Yeah, I know. Surprise, surprise. . . .) And I LOVE writing. Especially fantasy/sci-fi. The same genre I love reading. Sooo yeah, I love writing, and I've done a lot of it but have never done anything with it and probably never will. I love writing because of its artistic beauty and because it's fun and because you can be creative and because you can create your own world, characters, and beautiful ending. (<--And yeah, total run-on sentence there.)
I also love music. I adore listening to it, singing it, playing it. And like writing, I only play/sing for artistic beauty/enjoyment, not performance. ^_^
And I also love my God, my main inspiration. He's given me so much, worked out so many areas of my life, and stayed with me through the good and the bad. (:

So yep, that's a little bit about me. Can't wait to get to know you all!

Welcome, Gwen!

*white rose petals fill the air *

How long have you been writing for?

Welcome Gwen! Have some walrus-flavored-iced-coffee! *gives coffee*

Gwen! Welcome! *throws glitter* Have a cupcake!
I believe that you will like it here! I can't wait to read your stories! I'm sure you're a fantastic writer, miss!

Welcome to HolyWorlds, Gwenhwyvar! Love your username, it's fantastic! I hope you enjoy it here! *chucks handfuls of glitter everywhere to celebrate*

Welcome to holy worlds! Another music maestro! Always good to have more.
Looking forward to seeing your posts and hearing about your stories. Have a slice of your welcome cake! *Presents quadruple layer white cake with enough icing to choke a moose!*

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Gwenhwyvar! *throws shower of marshmallows*

Welcome to Holy Worlds!


Yes, it is.

Wahoo! A new member! Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Ooh! What do you play?

Hello and welcome!

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Gwen! *throws confetti and blows horn*

Umm, haha, since I was like . . . seven, probably.



Duuddee, I love coffee . . . though I'm not sure about walrus-flavored coffee . . . .



Piano and guitar mainly. I used to play violin, and I did the oboe a little. (:

And thanks everyone! I love the forum already!

What a well rounded musician.

Hello, Gwen. Welcome to HW. We are a crazy group, but around here, crazy is the new normal, so seat yourself, and prepare for quite a performance. However, before you become a full fledged HWer, you must first be sprinkled with my glitter!


How are your books coming along? Do you have an aspect of writing that frustrates you the most?

Hey! Haha, saawweeeetttt 'cause I like glitter. And there seems to be a lot of it around here.

Haha, weeelll, my books have actually been neglected for a loonnnggg time (tragic, I know) because I've been super busy since the beginning of the year. But now I think I'm settling into the slow part of summer so I hope to get back to writing. Anndd as for a part of writing that frustrates me the most . . . umm, probably writer's block. 'Cause I don't write unless I feel inspired to most of the time. XD

Howdy! Glad to have you here! Take a cupcake and make yourself at home! If you get lost, run into any vicious beasts, or have trouble breathing with the glitter, just holler.

I think we can convince you to finish your stories. We're also pretty good at breaking writer's block! (Try the button up there that says "chat.")

You write sci-fi, y'say? You might like to join HW's other branch... http://holyworlds.org/scifi/

We've got a lot of musically-inclined people around here! If you go down to the Arts Guild, you'll find several music-related threads to congregate on.

Welcome again and enjoy your (hopefully long-term) stay!

My glitter is very breathable.


Yes, we have ways of making you write.

Coffee lover!
Trust me, walrus flavored coffee is quite good. Made by my very own walrus; Balin. Hey Balin come on out here and meet this nice newcomer!
*Walrus waddles out of the Holy World's kitchen*
Meet Gwen, Balin!
Gwen, meet Balin!
*Balin extends his hand to shake*


Wow; That's a lot! Guitar and piano are fun instruments. I've never played the violin though. And oboe? Really, that is really cool!

*tosses coconut flake confetti into the air* Welcome, Gwen! What a pretty username. I'm Elly, as you can see. Oh yes, we'd love to have you in the chat room! It's enjoyable, if not a little crazy at times. (Well, okay. . . a lot of the time. But it's very fun!) Aha, we can convince you to pick those stories back up. . .

God bless!
Elly

I play piano and violin too!

Hello, Gwen! Welcome to Holy Worlds.

I'm late! Ah well. I've been working hard, so I think I have an adequate excuse.

Welcome to the forum, Gwen! I hope you've enjoyed everything you've seen to far! it's great to see your enthusiasm!

Looking forward to reading your posts!

~Calen

Yeah, from what you've mentioned, I would say that you do.

What is your favorite animal, Gwen?

*blows Captain Nemo's whistle* Welcome, welcome, welcome! I apologize for being late. ^^

*three glittery penguins slide in on their shimmery bellies, chittering in excitement at the new arrival* Do you like punch? *two more penguins slide in with a punch bowl*

Hey there Gwen, and welcome to Holy Worlds! *applause blasts from random corners of the HW universe* I'm sure you'll love it here, since you're joined by so many fellow writing-lovers and musicians . I just got back from Interlochen Arts Camp, which is very well know for music {I went for creative writing, though}. It's amazing how many multitalented musicians were there!

Oh, and as for my many alieses, they are: Dawn, Estar, Even, Evenstar, Star, and late-for-dinner. Call me anything you like! *shakes hands and bows while swirling cape*

Have some pie! *serves steaming hot slices of fresh-baked crispy sweet apple pie*

Yep, I definitely plan on joining when I get the time to!




Umm, haha, very hard to say . . . . I really love my horse . . . and my dog . . . and then I really like snakes.

And thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!!

*takes whistle back* *blows boatswain whistle announcing the arrival of Gwenhwyvar* *Salutes* Welcome aboard Holy Worlds, mate!

I apologize for being a little late, but I just returned from summer camp. I love your name, by the way! Why did you decide to use that one? Is there a special meaning to it?

I'm so glad that you're here to work on developing your writing and using it to glorify God. He is also my main inspiration for the story that I am writing now. You will find that this is a community full of writers using their gifts to glorify our amazing Father and Creator.

Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Also, we have a thread for new members in the Q&A forum. It's pretty easy to spot, so feel free to take a look at it and ask questions there, too.

Oh, I play piano, too! *loves the piano* I've been taking lessons for four or five years, and I never get tired of it.

Well, once again: Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Hi, Captain Nemo! Thanks!

Umm, my name came from one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite books. I love it too. (:

The piano is ammaaazzziinnnngg. I love just sitting down and playing . . . and playing . . . and playing . . . whatever I feel like playing at the time.

You should go look in the arts subforum for some music centered threads!

Mkay, I will!
