What is one word that describes you?
Why is idiot the one word that describes me? Because only an idiot would hope that these prompts might get better. Who ever heard of a writing prompt that can be answered in one word. If they would have added and why, then maybe that would have had some merit. After much thought I thought that it might be interesting to write down how other people have described me over the years in one word. In no particular order people have described me as conscientious, weird, bad, good, cute, asshole, terrible, bastard, prick, wonderful, chickenshit, sarcastic, terrific, funny, hateful, kind, crazy, sick, thief, honest, liar, lucky, sad, snake, shithead, best, sweet, ruthless, boring, different, awful, crazy, dumbass, immature, gutsy, and stubborn, just to name a few. Probably one of the most prophetic things ever written was by Robert Burns in the poem, To a Louse. He concluded the poem with these words, “ O wad some Power the giftie gie us/ To see oursels as ithers see us! Such a power or ability would save us a lot of bother and foolish notions; but we cannot see ourselves as others see us. The one thing we cannot do is take the view of that louse”. That first line made spellcheck go crazy, yea! If I did have this power, then the prompt would not be necessary and I would not feel like an idiot.

“There is something at the bottom of every new human thought, every thought of genius, or even every earnest thought that springs up in any brain, which can never be communicated to others, even if one were to write volumes about it and were explaining one’s idea for thirty-five years; there’s something left which cannot be induced to emerge from your brain, and remains with you forever; and with it you will die, without communicating to anyone perhaps the most important of your ideas.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot
