Slight Changes

First and foremost, I’d like to apologize for my recent lull in posting anything. I do have a few things saved up, but which need a few more tweaks or re-writes before they’re allowed any kind of debut to the digital world.

Secondly, I’d like to take the time to tell anyone whose reading this a little bit about some changes that going to be coming soon. Not just in regards to content, but also the overall purpose of the blog.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again — writing has always been my biggest passion and if I could make money doing so; I would. This blog was initially suppose to serve in someway as the basis for a ‘virtual’ portfolio, I suppose. I’ve always had my Deviant Art page, but it never really seemed like the proper place for works of literature. Plus, everyone has a DA page. Ignore the fact that everyone also has a blog. Thank you.

Up until now, Visible Inks has only served as a way to display my works of writing. From this point on, it will serve to house various creations of the written variety. Not just poems and short stories — but also, everyday musings or rants. Those I’ve hence dubbed, and un-originally so, News Posts. This is the first.

More so than that, I’ve recently took on the task of designing and running my own Dungeons and Dragons campaign. This is a very big occasion for me and for several reasons. The most obvious being that I get to spend time with people that mean a lot to me. However, creating worlds and adventures for a DnD game takes a lot of effort, in more ways than one. Obviously, imagination is a huge part — therefore I get to write. Presentation is equally important in the actual execution of the game so I get to act.

As a result of all the latter, I’ve decided to chronicle my adventures (and thus my players) through my various sessions and worlds. My plans are, of course, to do more than one campaign. I’ve already decided that each and everyone will take place in the world of Ventoren (a place I’ve created long ago when I first got into fantasy writing), and so with each campaign, each sessions, each player and NPC — the world will grow. For each individual person in my campaign, this might not be that big of a deal. For me, however, it means that with each passing thought and creation it becomes a more complex and intricate design.

End rant.

So, you can expect to see a small section start to emerge and evolve out of that. Overall, I think this will be a good change for Visible Inks — there will be less gaps with no entries and it might even help give birth to other kinds of pieces. Heaven knows I could probably write my own stand-up routine with all I’ve been through as a Service Clerk.

That’s another story though.

Until next time.
