Reboot

This blog has seen far less activity than I would have really liked to see on it. I still work on my stories though, editing, creating and finalizing little intricate details. Thanks to some helpful tips on screen writing, I've been able to these ideas I have an more fine-tune them, changing things as small as character names, to huge thematic story lines, even character backgrounds and descriptions. I don't plan on posting parts of the stories I write here (mostly out of formatting issues, not security); but I may post them on a forum a friend and I have been talking about.

What's changed the most? Well, mostly the scale of my stories. For example, the Asesino of Fire's story is now mostly envisioned as a screen play, which tells a very focused point of view in a very large world; it essentially keeps people guessing why character's act a certain way, or interested in the little tidbits of information they give. My stories will now take place in my own world. While many of them do, it just makes it that much more accomplishing when I finish crafting a world for my characters to live in – and, now, in a few of the plots I have laid out, the world itself is a character.

I'll be posting in this blog character descriptions, storyline synopsizes (apparently that's the correct way to spell that), storyline ideas and minor plot outlines. My character descriptions will always feature art of the character, and I'll try to have different artists do these depictions for me. Trust me, people really don't want to see my drawing skills tested.

Every month or so, I'm also planning on doing a Spotlight – focusing on an artist I've found, whether they work with music, digital art, photos, literature, anything. I hope this will help drive traffic, as well as me trying to share an artist with others around.

Since I'll be posting quite a few different things, I'll make sure to tag them with very specific entities, making it easier to search, too. I doubt there'll be many people searching around the blog, but hey, might as well. I'll mainly be focusing on three things at first: my HAVEN storyline (now changed to a screenplay format), including extra material I come up with; a new horror story I have yet to name, based thousands of years from now; and a storyline I've been working on forever, which I've called Omega. I have a few new ways to go about Omega, as I've never 'liked' the first entry to the series, but nothing is in stone for now.

I think that's about it. If you randomly come across this, and you think you'd like to be featured in my first spotlight for August, then by all means, let me know.
