Day 24
The 2015 A to Z Blogging Challenge
Many Sundry Things
X is for Xanthippe (or the Ill-tempered Woman)
*_*_*_*_*
And so we’ve reached Day 24 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge
and the letter X.
This is a joke, right? X? We have to do X? Hell’s bells but X turns me into a
Xanthippe. A what? An ill-tempered woman.
With two days to go, the most difficult, most maligned
letter shows up. Of course this is annoying. I wonder how many people get to
here and give up?
The truth is I work hard not to be a Xanthippe. Being
ill-tempered and shrewish is too accepted these days, especially in the writing
world. It’s a way of getting attention and upping the number of hits on a blog. But it’s a trap.
There are those who think it’s great fun to be the topic of
conversation regardless of what’s being said. It’s my opinion that it’s better
to rise above it. Play at being a Xanthippe for too long and you may become one
for real.
It’s not a chance I want to take. Xanthippe is not what I
want for my legacy or on my tombstone.

Once again this year I have to do a little book promo along
the way. You won’t know about my books if I don’t tell you about them, right?
