Yes - I do:
(1) Hold instrument in front of your body, stringed side facing away
from you and long thin part ("neck") protruding to the left.
(2) To produce a sound, strike one or more strings with right thumb or
other convenient body part.
(3) To alter the pitch of any string, press down firmly between frets
with fingers of left hand.
Hint: Most audiences prefer consonant chords in a more or less
consistent rhythm.
But I'd have guessed you knew that already, so why do you ask? :-)

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that...

Who do you do that thing where the notes have silence in between them?
When I play guitar, it has plenty of harmony, but little in the way of
rhythm. It's more like a constant droning of sounds.

If you put a finger on a string, it will stop it from vibrating, if you
place your hand acros all the strings, you'll mute them all at once,
thus creating a silence.
And yes, you can hardly follow the melody. I tried once to sign along a
guitarist, with the partition in front of me. I found it totaly
impossible to know when to start, and after some time, about 1 minute, I
realised that he was repeating the first mesure hoping that I would
start. All I heard was a constant sound of varying pitch...

Ah yes, sorry I forget to mention that. As Alain already mentioned:
(4) To produce a non-sound ("silence"), hold any convenient body part
against the respective string(s).

Classic strumming with the right thumb, huh? In that case you may find
the pinky side of the palm a convenient body part to mute all strings.
To add even more variation to the rhythm, first make sure you don't
immobilize your right hand when strumming. From my observation,
beginners tend to use the fingers of the right hand to keep their hands
at a steady distance to the strings, and just move the thumb - which is
good in the beginning because it helps hitting the strings properly
(thereby avoiding early frustration), but is not very satisfying in the
long run because you don't have much freedom in how you strike the strings.
Once you get your whole hand moving when strumming, you'll already gain
more freedom in how hard you hit the strings. Add to that by including
other parts of the hand in the action: Strike with your fingernails for
a sharper sound; give the strings a firm slap to produce a nice sharp
clap followed by silence; let your fingers glide (comparatively) slowly
over the strings one after the other; grab the bottom three (g,h,e)
strings with your right fingers and give them a pull, possibly pulling
on the bass string (E/A/D string depending on chord) with your thumb at
the same time. Vary this by pulling the strings at different times. Hey,
guess what - you're fingerpicking by now!

OK, so obviously I'm going to need to post some recordings to explain
this one. To that end, I just fired up my trusty old 8-track, went to
get my guitar... wait, WTF? My guitar is *gone*! O_O
At this point, I have literally no idea where in hell my guitar has
gone. I'm rather distressed about this fact. It may not be the best
guitar that has ever existed, but it's my property and it's a tad too
large to just be /lost/ like that. I wonder where the holy hell it's got
to... o_O
