A Celtic Proverb Meaning:

The Craft Comes from the Head

Scribe of the Realm is a writer's web site, as opposed to an author's, because an author is published and I'm still working in that direction, and even if I do succeed in being published I'd still rather think of myself as a writer, author sounds like I'd have to take myself too seriously.

Scribe of the Realm is the online record of a series of books currently in the writing and editing process called Swords of the Realm (SotR) and will describe not on the challenges of writing a book and a series, but the process of creating a game world and even how to mix role-playing and writing.

While it may seem pretentious for an unpublished writer to build a site to discuss works not yet complete; but, what better a way to start spreading the word? For that matter, what better a way to make sure that I keep writing than to tease people enough that they want to see more.

As always I'm tweaking the site here and there to try and keep things a little new, but most of the changes for returning readers is in the blog as always.

You can check out things I've written or what I'm am up to in the column to the left, you can click on the left menu links to go to categories of writing and you can also go check out what I do on other sites.

The Guild is the Fantasy Artists, Role-Players and Writers Guild, which I founded or Red Zone Gaming, a gaming site I co-founded with Kasandra. There's my column on Newsvine, where I generally escape to discuss politics and share some of my more unusual writing, most of which I copy from my blog over to there, so you can catch it all here first.

And finally, I've done a couple of things on YouTube, you can click the link to go see.

The not very famous, and in some quarters infamous, Tim.  Here in the writing sanctuary under the stairs, called the Troll Cave, don't worry, I won't bite, just don't ask for fashion advice.

I was born in the Midwest and grew up in Iowa, Missouri and Texas. I guess you could say I had an eventful childhood, at least it was a helluva lotta fun!

There are stories in the blog about some of the things that made growing up fun, some of them may make you wonder how I lived to be an adult but rest assured that that's how it happened. Well, the names have been changed to protect the innocent...or not so innocent...or those that really don't want to have the glory of their youth catch up to them.

I enlisted in the Air Force in 1984 and retired in 2007. I saw a whole bunch of the world and racked up a lot of experiences in the process. Now I'm retired and enjoying life to the fullest!
