Noah Ray

Dear Friends, I am at a loss for words how to express my gratitude and any one who knows me knows I always have words. An anonymous doner is donating a very large amount which will put us over our fundraising goal. We will keep the GiveSendGo page up for now as some others have expressed interest and desire to donate. Any further donations at this point will go toward hospital and travel expenses as such, we are grateful for any further contributions. If this donation comes through it will put us over the hump. All other expenses can be financed and paid off over a longer term which is possible for us to accomplish. As of today I will no longer be posting "Memes for Natasha". The bank is processing things so it will be another couple days before its official and anything shows in the accounts. I wanted to conduct things as transparently as possible though, when it does we will update the givesendgo page to reflect the total amounts. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped us. There has been a lot of crying in our home the last two weeks as we have been stunned by the generosity and kindness of our fellow man. Your reposts and prayers really made a difference, our large doner friends wouldnt have found our cause without them. Even the smallest donations fill me with a deep sense of gratitude. We will never forget this. What I thought was going to take months to accomplish has (hopefully) been accomplished in less then a week and a half. Our children will be tought about you. Someday when we are on better financial legs we will give as has been given to us. In the meantime, I will post updates on the surgery when possible so that we can show the good you all have done for us. You have given a family a chance, helped our efforts to preserve a life, and made the world a better place by keeping my better half in it. A blessing on each of you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. -Noah

@ReadWriteRyan96 Yes, and it hurts.

@NoahRayWrites Isn’t it like…the classic definition of a portal fantasy?

"Chronicles of Narnia is a portal fantasy." Me:

@Pennerstories But should I?

@NoahRayWrites Do it.

Lowkey tempted to do a weekly livestream/podcast covering all the drama writing X gets into on a regular basis. But I'd burn too many bridges making jokes. I get in enough trouble as it is.

@sarahs_sky Ooooh. Now I gotta wonder if this is your alt account to absorb flak from your youtube channel...

@NoahRayWrites That's why you need to use a different persona to do that while using this account to gather info.

@steakdriven I know right?

@NoahRayWrites There's a literal portal involved

@ZimmerHandcraft Yes.

@NoahRayWrites Do they explode like concrete? Or just crack?

Hey Folks, its a cool video but anyone watching this don't put river rocks in a fire. They don't like it in there after they got used to the water.

@TiltAtGiants @nonregemesse "Cadence Elijah Harper, My friends call me Cade. My enemies call me Reaper."

@nonregemesse Sometimes people try too hard. My book protag names so far (that are out) Hannes, Roval Gul, Sustineo, Rook. Not too insane or anything.

The reason I don’t read much fantasy is because it all looks like this Aedion Ashryver like what the fuck even is that? Derivative of a derivative of a derivative

@joeroverbooks @TAR_Kirk @AuthorAltoft @AuthorTRobare Old school or new design?

@TAR_Kirk @NoahRayWrites @AuthorAltoft @AuthorTRobare Growlithe is my favorite. Tyler is a close second though. 😂

With so many indie authors it can be hard to know where to start, so here’s the PokeRap inspired #IndieRap. And I use the term “rap” loosely. 🎵 We’re gonna be the very best To enjoy our worlds, yeah, that’s our quest Altoft @AuthorAltoft Kirk @TAR_Kirk Robare @AuthorTRobare DanNeo @DanNEO_SS Carroll @DWARussell22 Schiecke @J_Schiecke Isaacs @NoahIsaacsBooks Ryan @brclothwrites Ray @NoahRayWrites Allen @AuthorGFAllen Knight Writer Matt @_Knight_writer Caradine @TheOfficialJOTS Anderson @zoofries Vadney @Michael_Vadney Holshouser @BHolshouserUS Bussard @KWBussard_ Read 'em all, read 'em all, gotta read 'em all.

@RebeccFung Its a lot harder to glean personal data to sell from a desktop.

I just tried to post on Instagram from my desktop and couldn't do it. I tried about 5 times thinking I was doing something wrong, size of image etc, kept trying to modify it. Eventually I googled the problem and it said that Instagram doesn't let you post using your desktop.

@RebeccFung Id watch it.

Not before we've done the following films which sound far more interesting than the premise "One Night Only". It's legal for only one night in the year to: Wear odd socks Eat pizza with pineapple Put on sock, shoe, sock, shoe Say how you REALLY are when one asks "How are you?"

@NerdMother67 Its not every day we get to see angry rocks.

@NoahRayWrites But the boom is spectacular

@Dragonslay3r94 in Th Last Battle they do the dying before thing.

Yeah and I'm pretty sure it also counts as a isekai too if we not include the dying beforehand element.

Ok, we really need to stop the endless sequels. The Purge franchise is getting out of hand.

@NoahRayWrites @MrQuestX @WickedFreckledT @ian_snow @LuciousAmoris @NotSoSmolBirb @CollingsMaccrae @wanderingscottw @ThaTrevyTrev @laxmere @DanNEO_SS @glassofbrycet @TiltAtGiants @ChaceRandolph Stop that. The mere mention of that song sets my brain off

Gather round: #SpiceRage reading Dune: Chapter 12 @ian_snow @MrQuestX @NoahRayWrites @NotSoSmolBirb @CollingsMaccrae @wanderingscottw @ThaTrevyTrev @LuciousAmoris @laxmere @DanNEO_SS @glassofbrycet @TiltAtGiants @NerdMother67 @ChaceRandolph

@NikkiMDoucet Its really about metrics. Imagine if the tv industry counted pornhub stats into shows viewed. You would end up with a similar demographic imbalance as we have including trashy romance in book stats. Tv prpducers would start... *Looks at HBO* Dangit, it all makes sense.

@NoahRayWrites My honest argument about these books and all of the "book tok" women who recommend books based on how much sex is in them I find it gross but these women seem to think its somehow empowering

This is not exclusive to nurses, smut is almost entirely what women read now.

@MrQuestX @WickedFreckledT @NerdMother67 @ian_snow @LuciousAmoris @NotSoSmolBirb @CollingsMaccrae @wanderingscottw @ThaTrevyTrev @laxmere @DanNEO_SS @glassofbrycet @TiltAtGiants @ChaceRandolph Ah, the Idina Manzel's Let It Go effect.

@WickedFreckledT @NerdMother67 @ian_snow @LuciousAmoris @NoahRayWrites @NotSoSmolBirb @CollingsMaccrae @wanderingscottw @ThaTrevyTrev @laxmere @DanNEO_SS @glassofbrycet @TiltAtGiants @ChaceRandolph It’s a sweet balance. On one hand if it’s too good then you discourage other authors, how are we supposed to top this? If it’s good but could be better, that’s what gets the imagination chugging.

@MSOlney1 He did a similar move with me. Several people blocked me because they couldnt handle my analysis of the d2d situation. It is what it is.

Wtf is wrong with people in this so-called community? This person didn't like my reply, tried to insult me, and then blocked me. If you're an author, don't deal with these pricks.

@zenkothered I hadnt considered light novels, but that makes sense.

@NoahRayWrites Japanese light novel readers welcomed ai with open arms. There are readers who want predictable, easy, brainless slop. Comfort food books for exhaustion is my guess, and ai makes it fast and can tailor to you specifically.

To translate for all you people who don't want to read the deeper, engaging and detailed post: Some piggies like slop.
