The Gonzo Wolf

I’ve done this my entire writing career. In the beginning, I was incredibly confident and found it fun. Then, my partner tired of all the attention coming to me. She convinced me what I was doing was narcissistic, and that people were tiring of it. Translation: people can’t know about your personal life when all you do is live lie after lie. I’m going on twenty years of believing that nonsense. She’s been gone for ten of them. Words to someone who believes you love them, and indubitably have your best interests at heart, can move mountains. Don’t use those words to derail someone else’s success at the cost of your own narcissistic tendencies. I can only hope she’s grown since then. I surely have, but I’ll never show it…
