I wrote a film that shot in Thailand; a prison actually....A24 released it. Pretty intense place. Here's the trailer if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp88Nuci68c
I've been boxing since I was at Uni. Punching in the ring and with gloves on though, it always feels a bit like cheating.
Last week had this intro meeting at work. I said, "I'm a boxer because I love getting punched in the face." I said, "It's a spiritual awakening, if you know what I mean."
And no. No one got what I meant by "spiritual awakening".
Love using vivid verbs. But sometimes it can clash with voice, right? Like if you're writing from within a character who might not use interesting verbs a writer would, it feels jarring. You could always write in third to avoid it.
I never went to a Demolition Derby but I agree. It's a lot more fun than watching cars just drive around in a circle. My dad took me to see monster trucks YEARS ago when I was kid. They made these huge jumps off a ramp and they revved their engines so loud, your whole chest vibrated.
I nominate the word Keiko as a verb. He lures me in every single time with his sweetness and then wigs out of nowhere. To Keiko is to bite the hand that feeds you and still look cute.
Why does everyone always break the first two rules?
Husband just put our car into a tree the other day. Does that count?
(He’s fine.)
Ever see a combine or school bus derby?

You lured me in with Thailand, but all I see is Tire-land.
Happy spring(s)!
Those events are real "crash cows"
Wish I'd known about this place when I was there...But what would I have done? Hurled movie/ song/book quotes at my opponent?
Of course there's a Facebook group. 🤣
"Partly" inspired?

May I introduce you to one of Britain’s oldest and somewhat violent traditions -- The Atherstone Ball game. It’s been going since 1199.

Suggestion.
How about a contest where we all send in our best verbs.
Might be worthwhile.
The branding will not die but it will certainly Thai.
(Chuck, just so you won't miss me...) ;)
I am trying too but people would have to put themselves out there and be open to adaptation.
Ain't that what Nascar is about????
