Gator rests on stump.
but my mind cannot rest.
it's not "gator"
and "stump" in the same place,
but in the same sentence.

PROMPT: Positive Example
I’m not sure I understand the question. I generally associate the feeling of love with positivity, but the wording suggests a contrast to the negative examples of feeling loved.
Also, not sure whether “where” is meant to refer to a part of the body, a city, a region, a country, a room of the house, etc.

PROMPT: Communicate Online
Like everyone, with a great deal less civility.
Also, with the recognition that no one is trapped by societal convention, so one must be concise, or no one will take it in.
Also, I end sentences with prepositions more.

PROMPT: Creative
The answer depends upon stress.
If it’s, “How are YOU creative?” then I think the question is a little insulting and I wouldn’t dignify it with a response.
If: “How are you CREATIVE?” (then it’s missing a comma before the last word, but) I’ll just say, “Very well, thanks for asking.”
If: “How ARE you creative?” Then I’ll assume it’s as opposed to how I was creative in the past, and would reply, “Better, thanks for asking.”
If: “HOW are you creative?” The answer is, of course, “practice!”

PROMPT: Coolest Thing
I once found a $100 bill half frozen into the snow on a random stretch of sidewalk in a not-so-great neighborhood. It’s only now occurring to me that it was literally the coolest thing I’ve ever found because it was encased in ice and snow. I acknowledge it’s not so “cool” in the colloquial sense of the word.

PROMPT: Favorite Word
What’s your favorite word?
“Sword” is “words” with a simple swap where the word leapfrogs its ass, and yet they are unrhymable with each other. That’s a word with some sort of voodoo magic.

PROMPT: Use Regularly
Daily writing prompt
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?
“Facetious.” But I only use it so much because I am it so much.

PROMPT: Grudge
No, but it sounds like fun — starts with a “GRR” and rhymes with “fudge.”

PROMPT: Writing
EPIPHANIES.
But, if you think about it, writing is miraculous. In the scheme of gifts that nature grants, it is way out beyond left field. Encoding ideas and images in simple characters in a way that can evoke emotional or cognitive responses in readers is kind of a superpower. (As is reading.)

PROMPT: Word [Overly Used]
“Nazi” and other terms used to hyperbolize the villainy of those who are, at most, moderately villainous. It allows people to dismiss – rather than debate – beliefs with which they are in disagreement, while – simultaneously – it diminishes understanding of the extremes of horror the world has known.
