I've cheated the Grim Reaper more times than anyone I know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't betray yourself too often, or you become somebody else.
I have a 'cheat day' a week. I can really indulge and treat myself.
I recognise why I have such a strong inability to forgive certain people who betray me. It's chiselled in, like a name on a tomb stone.
Betrayal does so many different things to people.
In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.
I know all about cheating. I've had six very successful marriages.
I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having survived I owe something to the dead. and anyone who does not remember betrays them again.
I'm not a cheater. I've never cheated in my life.
I've cheated myself: there are other things I could have done to fill out the bouquet of my career.
I have been constantly betrayed and deceived all my life.
