This is an experimental writing tool. Blogging is an excellent way to write a little bit, every day. That's all fine and good, except that there's something that I've been meaning to write about for the better part of ten years now. So instead of finding links (and interesting articles, and humorous anecdotes) to fill my calendar day after day, I will try to piece together my own history with leukemia.

As much as I want the story to be linear -- and as much as I realize that the finished product most likely will follow in chronological order -- I can't command my mind to remember it the way I want to write it.

So I will bite off a little bit here and a little bit there. I will categorize the memories. That's what matters. Because I expect to be writing exclusively about the past, the current calendar seems less than useful. I may change my mind about this, the further I get into documenting my history. But for now, everything goes to a category. The home page will still retain recent work, but archived "posts" all belong to a greater whole.

For that matter, I reserve the right to edit any post, for any reason. I will be using a blogging tool at the same time that I fly against some blogging "conventions." No calendar, for example, and when you view my "categories" (i.e. the Table of Contents), the display order is reversed, so it should read the way the story unfolded.

'Nuff said. Time to build some back story.
