Twain writes in "On The Decay Of The Art Of Lying" that judicious lying is not only acceptable, but preferred. Everyone lies constantly. It is justified when a person lies with someone else's interests at heart.

Introductions, Statements of Purpose, Prospectii
First, I have no problem with making up words. This is not arrogance. It is whimsy.
Second, my name is not wbl Clyde, but, of course, it is. I'm a writer, almost. I'm finishing up school now, and once I'm no longer a student, my self-distinction will fall to writer.
Third, this is The Catalogue, spelled the way I prefer. This isn't a log (its a blog!) [shut up parentheses], but it is a logue. For now, a monologue, but still a catalog.
Fourth, I will be cataloging the events leading up to and following my transition into writerhood.
Seventh, I think conventions exist to be used for practice and disregarded for power.
Anyway, I write some different types of things. Rarely poetry, sometimes nonfiction, often fiction, commonly short stories, mostly stageplays, sparingly screenplays. I've been a theater hobbyist/enthusiast for six years now, and this is responsible for the direction of most of my writing. Just today, just tonight even, I thought my computer died. My hope is that if this fear is actually realized someday, this blog will serve as some semblance of a legacy, however paltry.
I'll be peppering this with links to various websites, some that contain my work, some that contain my inspiration, some that I think are just gosh darn fun.
Lots of writers have lots of different reasons for writing. I might have a few things to say, but really, I just want you to enjoy.
