PROMPT: Athletes

Daily writing prompt
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

Muay Thai fighters. To survive careers spanning of hundreds of fights, taking knees and elbows, is a feat. While they might not be fighting as often these days, you still probably have to go through a period of a fight per week to raise up to the point where you can have a more sensible rest-to-fight ratio.

PROMPT: Grudge

Daily writing prompt
Are you holding a grudge? About?

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

PROMPT: Traveled from Home

Daily writing prompt
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

”Home” and “away” lost all meaning long ago, becoming a false dichotomy. “Furthest” is likely presumed to mean the most distant in space, but that is not always the greatest mental distance. Sometimes a place changes while you were away, and that shift through time becomes the most jarring distance.
