Waste Not Want Not

WP Prompters ask: What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

GERTRUDE ABERCROMBIE, MYSTERIOUS STRANGER (MAN, HOUSE AND LADY), 1953, 

 

If I had to name the one thing I like about myself, that one thing would be

that no matter how much I dislike someone

I would never, ever pretend

that person has no value, that their life experiences and feelings are to be ignored

and discounted by me at every turn.

I would never, ever do that.

 

 

Without these troublesome, unsavory characters

who parade through my life and occasionally drive me a little mad,

I would not have the inspiration to write about the

monsters, and demons and psychopaths who populate my stories

and make me laugh as I write and dream and create.
