Useless? Odd? #MFRWauthor
We're at week 38. And it's Friday again. We are supposed to write about "my odd/useless talent." Now, let's see. First I have to define useless and odd.
Can I spread my fingers in the Vulcan greeting? No.
Can I raise one eyebrow? No.
Am I ambidextrous? Only when I have to be, then more food falls off the fork than into my mouth. I can use a mouse with both hands as long as it isn't detailed graphics work.
Some might consider crocheting dragons or collecting art tiles as useless or odd. But the collecting was just covered last week.
Some would say that writing fantasy is useless, or at the very least, odd. But I like to fly with dragons and hang out with mages.
That is as far as I go with this post. ~till next time. Helen

Some might be wrong. Writing fantasy isn't useless. You might not be writing stories based on facts, but you're writing stories based on truth. Fantasy, including fairy tales, does not teach us that there are evil monsters, it teaches us that those monsters can be killed or conquered.
