Who is TJPontz?
TJPontz is the nom de plume I use when writing fiction. It’s a name I gave myself when I was very young because I found it hard to pronounce my own last name correctly (as most people do).
I am a technical writer on the day job (IT / computer documentation of all sorts). I’ve written some nonfiction eBooks lately (more info and downloads are available at jeffbible21.com and hauntedhomeowners.com).
The Pencil Place is where I ruminate about writing, offer helpful ideas on creativity, plot, character, setting, and whatever else is bugging me. I hope it helps somebody. If you’re truly curious, and you have the time, you might also want to visit my fiction page on Elfwood.com. Start with Wolfstone’s Journal – Calling All Heroes, and then the Dead War. The rest of Wolfstone’s Journal is intermingled with the Dead War entries, and it’s a non-synchronous timeline. That project just ran out of gas, though it may come back around as a modern fiction story. The rest of the page on Elfwood – well your results may vary.
I’m currently on some larger scale nonfiction ebook and audiobook projects – for more information check out The Reading Desk.
I must admit that I am more than facisnated by your writing style and look forward to any books that you may release or may have already released. I’m new to your website and found it on accident but I am a definite subscriber now! Thanks for the wealth of knowledge you have on display here.

I am currently in college for the IT world, picking up certs and an associates at the moment. It was a very pleasent surprise to see you being in the same field that I am am interested in. I would love to collab a short story! Maybe bounce a few emails back and forth or something?

Hi Tim. As far as collaboration, I’m not in a real ‘fiction mode’ at the moment, but I’ll leave that door open a crack for whatever lies down the road. I have updated this page to include links to some of my unpublished stuff. That should keep you out of mischief for awhile, but your results may vary. My main project for now is over on thereadingdesk.com, which should occupy me fairly solid for the next few weeks. That’s one reason why my posts here are fairly sparse over the past couple of months. If you’d like to bounce some emails around, I’m up for it. I will certainly review anything you’re cooking up, and throw in my thoughts as well.
“… and the plan unfolds!”
T J,
Looks like I got more than enough material to sink my eyes into! Saying I am eager is an understatement; being able to throw my fertile mind at some creative literature is something that I rarely have the opportunity to do…
By fertile I mean, young and inexperienced. Many a time has gone by where I wanted to write a very inspirational piece. Never have I finished one however due to my uncomforatable writers block, but you have helped remove that somewhat and for that I thank you!
I will be bouncing an email to you in the next day or so with a summary of a story and a general plot, also, I am going to look at thereadingdesk.com and see what it has to offer.
With best regards,
TPR
