So it occurs to me that, having this blog now for some reason, I should probably post something to it, perhaps some kind of explanation of who I am and what I do, or something to otherwise justify my existence. For those of you who don't already know, my name is Will, I guess, for now at least, and although sometimes I'm not, I find it's easier just to play along with these things. I do a lot of things, it seems, when I try to list them in my head, and I've even been told that I'm quite good at some of them, but then, like I said, I find it's easier just to play along with these things. I draw, when it amuses me, and occasionally with good results, and I mess around with sculpting various substances and making music to squirm uncomfortably to.

Mostly, though, and what will probably end up being the main point of this whole mess, if it has a point, which I sincerely doubt, I write. I find, upon occasional and hurried exploration, that there are many strange thing lurking about in my mind and, essentially, I do what I have to do to get them out. Sometimes, if I'm in a good mood, but not so good I'm without a bitter sense of irony, I call it art, though, in my more lucid moments, I'll admit it's mostly mental diarrhea. The result of this is a handful of tolerably embarrassing drawings that only a couple people have seen, and scores of short stories, half of which I haven't even read.

Recently, sort of, one of my nets seems to have snared me a minor muse or something, because I seem to have a novel on my hands, which, it seems, comes as much more of a surprise to me than it does most of the people I know, so just lately much of my focus has been bent on taming this beast of a story and systematically rendering it as horrid and unreadable as is humanly possible. Because that's what I do.

That's it, in brief. I'll probably prattle on some more about the book at some future point, since I suppose that's probably why I'm here, but other things as well. I don't know. I've never given much thought to keeping a blog before. Likely, I'll do weird and unfortunate things with it, so look forward to that.
