PROMPT: Political Views

Daily writing prompt
How have your political views changed over time?

I’m far less intense in my belief, allowing more room for nuance. The biggest change is seeing the value in a dialectical competition of ideas that would benefit from all political parties being at their most competent and making their most sound arguments. Unfortunately, both political parties where I live are – each in its own way — complete and utter shit.

PROMPT: Perfect Space

Daily writing prompt
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Quiet, simple, and in other ways not distracting.
