My thought to write by:
A Writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them.
- William Stafford
Now then, where was I? Oh, I suppose some introductions are in order for my pieces....
Tirra is the name of the planet I've created for my stories. I have uploaded a some world notes you should browse for answers to questions. I've been slowly developing Tirra for years. There also is a short dictionary. If you can't find what you're looking for let me know and I'll be sure to update that information somewhere. Lastly, there is the creation myth - 'Narvad's Dream'. I hope it is different enough from similar tales to be unique to my world.
Wolfstone's Journal - Wolfstone is my lead character. Bertra is a librarian (Bertram - a temporary name) who is trying to find all the pieces of Wolfstone's Journal and put them into some sort of order. I wish him luck. The ones posted here are what he has found so far. Wolfstone also appears in the Conspiracy of the Dead - from a different point of view. For the lighter side of the journal - try: "An Imp Infestation" and "What's for Dinner?".
Conspiracy of the Dead (formerly the Dead War) is an attempt at a novel. Please read this one and give me some crits ! I have another 10 chapters figured out past the four posted here already, but those ideas are still brewing. It's not quite soup yet. Hopefully this is not what you were expecting, and chapter four gives you an unexpected turn with a strong female lead character. You'll probably want to start with the kick-off piece, "Wolfstone's Journal - Calling All Heroes".
Oh, and Donavin's Reef (Sep 2004) is something I'm kicking around as a novel idea, so please give it a look at tell me what you think. Critical comments are welcome! I'm not really working on this one at the moment, but it would be a gas to read what your reaction is.
Poems (allegedly)
I don't call myself a poet. These sometimes just write themselves, and I'm only holding the pen. Poems posted here are: Iceman, Desire, A Visit, Forest Call, and the poem embedded in Calling All Heroes.
Old Souls: (Nov 2004 updated Mar 2006) started off as a musing a few years ago, and it has just nagged me until I finally wrote it. I think it probably started after I saw the movie 'What Dreams May Come'. I don't really like the ending, but it was the third one and I usually stop on 3's. I guess it still nags me.
The Osiris Legion is something completely different. I started writing this idea about 3 days after being laid off from my previous work. Not that I was angry mind you, oh no.
Got Maps!?
I love maps. I did a map for a good writer who sadly hasn't written lately, which you can see here (and read the story too!). I'm not satisfied with the fonts, so I may be redoing that part one day. I have some pretty cool software, so it's fun to play with it. If you need a map to go with your Elfwood story just send me an email. As long as it is a simple map, I can do those pretty quickly and easily. (time permitting) A sample of my work is in the first chapter of the Conspiracy of the Dead. If you need something much larger or a major project.... let's talk about it. =D
I keep forgetting that alzheimer's runs in the family. =0
Now where was I? Oh, yeah.....
InterestsMaps. Worlds. And what's just over that next horizon.

| 29 Apr 2006 |  Hope0407 | Loading... So far i've only read "soul" and "Wolfstone's Journal - Calling All Heroes," and "Conspiracy of the Dead - 01." I liked the Soul story, it was very interesting, and since i sorta believe in parts of different religions i really liked that. But i was just wondering for the Wolfstone's Journal and the Conspiracy of the Dead, since they seem to be connected, in what order should I read them?  Timothy Pontious replies: "Hello, Hope! Glad you're enjoying my shelf. I think it's probably best to finish the Conspiracy of the Dead. There are smaller bits of Wolfstone's Journal in there as well. The other WJ entries are random, and jump around future and past - but they will make more sense after you read the Conspiracy. Hope that helps!" | |
| 1 May 2006 |  Alexandru Moisi | Loading... Thank you for greeting me. It's great to be in the woods *does thank you for greeeting me dance invented by goblin warriors much more suple than me* Oh btw. WOW now there's a lot of fantasy lit. I gotta get started. See ya' around. Timothy Pontious replies: "Yeah, well one word of advice. It is no use leaving breadcrumbs to find your way around these woods. Some of the hobbits get hungry. See ya." | |
| 12 Jun 2006 | Brandi | Loading... Hello, stranger! Sorry i've vanished for so long. School has kept me swamped. Anyway, i have a week of semi-freedom between spring quarter and summer quarter (yes, i'm taking summer classes... 'cause i'm a glutton for punishment!) so hopefully i'll make it here to catch up your ever-growing shelf ^_^ take care! Timothy Pontious replies: "Welcome back! Don't mind the dust in the corners now, I'll get after that one of these days...." | |

| 12 Nov 2006 | Valérie Larouche | Loading... Hello Timothy! Sorry I haven't been updating my Elfwood for so long, but I cannot even log on anymore: I lost my password And when I try to get it back by email, says that the user doesnt exist or that he/she didnt add his/her email in the profile... Anyway, so Ill see... I've had some evenements in my life lately.. Thanks for all the support you gave to me all this time! 'Twas really a hand out from an angel Thank you Timothy Pontious replies: "Hello! You're entirely welcome. I hope you keep writing. I've not updated anything myself in ages, and I've hardly written anything since springtime. If things settle down here I have plans, but not the time or energy.Do you mind if I wear my halo off to one side? I don't think it attracts as much lightning that way...." | |
| 16 Jan 2007 | Rien (aka Biet) | Loading... I`ve been trying to catch up with some reading on your page. Still like your work (but then again, I don`t know much about writing, give me physics man  . Joking aside...I really like it). I hope you find the time to write more often. Then I can start looking for time to read it all.  Timothy Pontious replies: "Hello! Maybe I can write more in odd-numbered years? Thanks for stopping by. You don't have to know a lot about writing except if you like it or not. I'll post a note for you when I publish more stuff, but it won't be any time real soon because I'm re-doing some stuff and having a hard time finding time these days. Cheers, mate!" | |
| 25 Jan 2007 |  Matthew J. Hillary | Loading... Dude! You do maps? I need a map for my story (which I've finally gotten back to work on afte 5-6 months of no-time. I don't really have time right now, but I got the itch, ya know?). What's your email? I already draw up real basic crappy maps with upside-down triangles for mountains and squiggly lines for rivers. I think something that looks even just a slight bit real and colored would be really nice to have. I can scan and send you a copy of my basic stuff. Do you want any sort of a fee for doing one? If so, let me know how much before you make it  Timothy Pontious replies: "That's the rumor. It's a hobby. (shrug) There's no fee - just a tagline that I did your map and maybe a link back over here is all I need." | |
| 29 Jan 2007 | Rien | Loading... I`ll keep an eye on this page. I like what I`ve read so far. Then again....I`m not suprised by that. Cya around mate. PS Streaker? Streaker?? STREAKER??? What made you think that? Timothy Pontious replies: "Not that you'd actually see any naughty bits anyway - it would be all covered by beard and beer stains.Glad you're enjoying your read. cya" | |
| 30 Dec 2008 |  Deborah Cullins Smith | Loading... It’s been too long since I visited, my friend! Sorry. This past year has not been an easy one. Let’s hope for a better year in 2009.
Happy New Year, Timothy! | |
