I'm just letting interested scribes know that I've finally set aside a little part of the web for a blog of my own -- The Zhoth'ilam Folio. Among my many other daily ramblings, you can expect to find some brief thoughts on each of the books I read [like Realms novels for example, and the main reason I'm mentioning the blog here]. Feel free to leave comments, discuss other points of interest and, above all, enjoy!

Consider it noted...and bookmarked even. |

Nice work, left you a comment!
When do we get to hear more about your novel in progress? |

Eventually. I'm dropping tidbits about my work on the book almost every single day. I'll likely post much larger bits about it as I begin working through the draft itself. But that's a long way of yet.  |

| They're actually the third thing on my "Blog To Do" list. I've got a nice little image of myself, the Lady K, and Narnra that I want you all to see. We're together at a local medieval festival that was held here back in July. Our costumes are pretty awesome if I do say so myself. And I do. Or just did. I had an "Elminster-beard." |

Risking a silly question.....what the heck does "Zhoth'ilam Folio" signify?
I gaot a read on the folio part, but Zhoth'ilam has me at a loss. |

| "Zhoth'ilam" is actually the shortened name of something that's pretty much been a part of my writing since I first started working on this book. I don't want to say too much now, but there will be hints posted on my blog eventually. |

Is it another language's representation of Giant Space Hamster? |

Heh. No.
As it is, I think the Giant Space Hamster, or at least the interpretation we know of it, deserves an entire book devoted to him -- rather than just a part of the language. |

Such a book would be, in turns, hilarious, deeply profound, and mildly disturbing. Sometimes all at once. |

Aye, do you wanna go 50/50 on a case of it for Mrs. Hamster?
I like the feel your blog is developing, keep it up!
P.S. pictures please! |

No, no shes not bad at all, just thought that she may need it for her own protection!
And glad to hear about the pictures, O Sage of many visages and avatars |

For those who may be interested...
No, I haven't forgotten about the "Folio." I've just got a couple of really pressing deadlines to meet at work over the coming weeks, so it looks like my blog entries aren't going to be as "daily" as I would've liked. I'll try to keep it updated every few days. |

I know I've not been updating the Folio recently, but since work is calming down to it's normally-frantic levels now, I suppose I can devote some time to adding entries again... at least once every few days or so. I've also got some images coming of both the Lady K and myself attending a local Con here [and dressed appropriately, of course, as per the theme of the convention], and some sound files of my latest musical compositions to add.
Additionally, I'll be taking requests on how to improve the Folio at some point. And what you'd like to see discussed or topics covered and so forth. |

| Just a brief note to let interested scribes know that I'm back to semi-regular updates for the "Folio." With my studies done, I've got more time in the evening to update my blog, so expect some regular chatter to start occurring once again. |

Ooooh... so *that* is what our esteemed Sage looks like!  
Maybe you could sneak in a picture of Wooly as well?
Chins are overrated, by the way, and at least you got a nice-looking beard (unlike George "The Beardless One" Krashos )! |

Hehe...
That image is a little outdated. I should probably upload a more recent picture, since I've lost some weight and hair as well.

I don't think my blog's big enough for an ego the size of Wooly's.

Unless you've got two, which is why I'm trying to lose weight.

Another reason for updating my photo, I guess. Since I've since shaved the beard off.
And while we're on the subject of beards... Brian James, you should be proud!

I've started updating the Folio again. This time, it wasn't through any fault of my own. Blogspot's been acting kinda weird on this computer, so I've had to make entries from an older unit.
