Noah Cochran

@kingdomfire7

indeed they do! Nice to meet another Noah! when I was younger, there was another Noah at our co-op group thing, and whenever we’d pass each other on our way to class, we’d always go: “Hi, Noah!” “Hi, Noah!” it was so fun.

Yep, I know several other ‘Noahs.’ I believe it’s second most common boy name in the US (after Liam)

@kingdomfire7

Hey Noah, I’ve just gotta say, that’s one fine name you’ve got there. You’re parents have excellent taste.

Anyways, I’m Noah, nice to meet ya. 🙃

and apparently have no nicknames. (two-syllable names are tricky to shorten. I mean if you tried with “Noah”, what would you get? No, Nah? Not very catchy)

I’ve ran into the same pre…[Read more]

Some girls are rough and tumble, and may work every bit as hard in manual labor in dirt and grime as any man, but that does not diminish their femininity.

Excellent point, I meant to mention that.

 It wasn’t until the past couple of years that God started to heal those wounds and show me that the things I sa…

I had decided not to comment on this, but I can’t very well refuse a tag from Cathy. 🙃

I think the main point of Grace’s question was answered ably enough, so I’m going to focus on what you spoke of, Cathy: what differentiates men and women

First off, and I’m sure you believe this but I always find it prudent to mention…[Read more]

@k-a-grey

In extremely volatile places, nomadic civs would be a great idea. Thanks for your thoughts!

@emily-waldorf

Other ideas I had was: short shrubby things that are heat resistant, or just burn up and regrow very quickly.

That’s a great idea. I will be keeping that one.

Levitating plants.

Now you’ve go me thinking…I will be keeping this…[Read more]

Here’s one for y’all:

Fantasy world in a medieval-like era. This world is brimming with geothermal energy and tectonic shifts, and is constantly rent by earthquakes. Often, these earthquakes are far more than normal earth quakes. Some have ripped pieces of land apart creating huge trenches, others have…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

From everything you added there, Jared’s idea (or something like it) would work far better than mine. However, Jared’s idea makes Kyle far from an antagonist (breaking off a relationship for good reasons is good, not bad), so if you want Kyle to be villainous in some way, then you’ll have to find something bad that causes Kyle to…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

Alrighty, so if I’m understanding correctly, you need a nefarious or avaricious reason for Kyle to have been dating Andrea in the first place.

Hmm…the contemporary college setting is rather constricting. Did Kyle break up with Andrea because  she lost her eye sight? (i.e, did her use dissipate because she could no longer se…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

some of you don’t know me, but I know you. (Creepy alert!)

😂 I love it.

Well Emily, I’m Noah, I don’t believe we’ve really met, so nice to meet you. 🙂

What’d I miss? Or is there anything specifically I could try to help someone out with?

@joelle-stone

Alrighty, I’ll get back to you sometime after June. 🙂

@e-n-leonard

Glad to meet you, Emma! I’m called by the name Noah. 🙂

I am also quite new to writing (wrote my first prose less than a year ago), but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it (well, not every  minute xD).

What’s your current WIP about? Do you paint landscapes or portraits?

@joelle-stone

Alright, I think I get what you’re saying.

Btw, if you ever have some spare time lying around, I’d love for you to do prose analysis on a chapter of mine. 🙂

@joelle-stone

Whereas a poet would probably be thinking in more flowery terms, noticing the beauty of the nature and general emotions the setting induces. Does that even make sense?

Absolutely. That’s one of the first things I learned, but easily one of the hardest for me to implement.

If I’m not italicizing, then I do use those to clarify tha…

but I use them to break up what would otherwise be a marathon of a sentence or two awkward dumplings sat in separate bathroom stalls.

Yep, that’s when I use them too, but I do find that just separating the sentences by starting the latter one with a conjunction is something authors do relatively often (instead of a semicolon that…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

I understand the spirit of your example (expound more to make the telling more interesting), so I will keep that in mind, but the example itself doesn’t work at all–mostly due to the fact that Drastan himself is a mercenary. xD

@joelle-stone

Thanks for the response!

Yeaaaah… it’s usually best to avoid using “th…

Hey Lily, glad to have you on SE, I’m Noah. Websites are confusing sometimes, confound them all.  🙂 If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What’s your WIP’s premise or plot?

I adore cats. My older sister has a cat business, so our house is full of them, and we have a couple outside. Do y’all have any other animals?

@tenshichispa

Hey Tenshi, that’s an interesting question. The simple answer is yes, anything and everything can become an idol. How does something become an idol? The answer to that is also quite simple. If an individual puts an activity above worshiping God as a Church (Sunday’s for most people) by performing that activity instead of attending…[Read more]
