Will Once

Life is much too short for bad wine, a house without love, a day without friends or a world without laughter.

I am Will Once and I play with words. I write books, I tell jokes, I spin stories. I don’t take life too seriously.

Breaking news: 

Inspiration is a funny thing. For the first 60 years I was overflowing with inspiration. There were so many stories I wanted to tell and never enough time for all of them. But I needed to pay the bills, so I had to work. I stole spare moments for writing.

Then I retired from paid work and retired. I thought I would be released from commitments and could really get into writing full time.

But it didn’t work out that way. For the first time in my life I experienced what is commonly known as a block. I just could not settle at the keyboard and there was always tomorrow and tomorrow.

And there is something wrong with the world we live in. It’s not so easy to laugh when the world is like it is. How can I write convincing  and believable characters when the world is full of actual people who are neither convincing or believable? I find myself saying “if I had written that you wouldn’t have believed me.

Let’s give it a go, one more time.
