I’m beyond thrilled to welcome you to Oli’s Inkwell Symposium—a space where imagination knows no bounds and all creativity flows freely.
If you’ve found your way here, you’re in excellent company. I’m Oliver, but you can call me Oli!
You may know me from my other blog here: @oliolioxenfreewrites!
What is ‘Oli’s Inkwell Symposium?’
Oli’s Inkwell Symposium is a sub-blog (separate from my creative writing) dedicated to the various forms of storytelling. Not just myself, but any writer wanting to be apart of something unique and communal! This is intended to be a haven for writers, artists, and anyone with a love for exploring the depths of human emotion and the mysteries of the universe. Here, I’ll share diverse insights, ideas, and stories that push the boundaries of reality and dive into the fantastical.
I want this to be more than just a blog – I want it to be a community. This is where we can talk about the stories that shape us, the emotions that drive us, and the creativity that fuels us. That's why I created the symposium: to have a place to share my explorations of the fantastical, the mysterious, and the deeply human.
Here, I invite you to join me in the endless game of hide-and-seek. In this game, we bring the hidden corners of the mind into the light, and creativity is the key to opening new worlds for us to explore.
At the symposium, creativity is not just a hobby. It's like an unpredictable journey where your imagination meets reality. Whether you're a writer, an idealist, or a reader of boundary-pushing stories, you've found a safe space here. 💓
Manifestations
As part of this journey, I’m excited to introduce you to Manifestations: Tales of Unchecked Emotion—an ongoing anthology where emotions don’t just simmer beneath the surface; they break free, take physical form, and start to influence the world around them in ways that are both beautiful and terrifying. Stay tuned for the next post, where you can learn how to submit your writing and potentially be featured here on the page!
This is an open invitation for you to join in. Whether you want to submit a story, share your thoughts, or simply explore the worlds we’re creating together, Manifestations is about exploring the dark, the light, and everything in between.
Join the Community
Overall, Oli’s Inkwell Symposium is about all of us—writers, readers, and creatives in general—coming together to inspire and support one another. I’ll post prompts, share tips, and invite discussions on everything from character development to world-building!
Got a tale to tell? I’m accepting submissions for Manifestations through the submissions section right here on our Tumblr. Whether it’s a short story, a poem, or something in between, I can’t wait to see what you create.
Follow to keep up with the latest posts, prompts, and discussions! This is where the magic will happen, and I want everyone to be a part of it. Send this page to your fellow writers and creatives who would thrive here!
Have a thought, an idea, or just want to chat? Have some reading you'd like another pair of eyes on? Jump into the comments, or send me an ask. This is a space for nurturing creativity and your voice is a vital part of it :)
So, welcome, whether you’re here to write, read, or simply be entertained! Let’s explore the unknown together, one story at a time.
