to write

This is a self-indulgent blog post. I just want to write. I'm not sure what I want to write, just that I do. Of course, when I think about it, any post I put on this blog is self-indulgent anyway. Writing can be a very self-indulgent thing, can't it? Especially when the writer doesn't have an established audience. And art in general can be very self-indulgent. In fact, some would argue that great art is self-indulgent because it's done for art's sake, not catered to any particular audience. Trent Reznor said words to that effect on an interview I heard last night.

Art. Now there's a big topic. Maybe too big.
