This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count. And I found myself needing to change it recently to add details.
I am still healing. Yesterday was a good day.
I spent the whole day getting stuff done. A whole manuscript, some squirrelling, some squishys, some cleaning, some gaming, some random crafting…
And today I am doing the 24 hour poetry marathon. I will try to post the poetry here as well.

which is why I don’t have the energy for tomorrow’s review so I am going to be doing the Q&A post once more. I will be doing the rest of the week schedule tomorrow.

As to my health, I am recovering well enough…though I am still having some issues with my blood sugar spiking.
I am not sure if it was on there last week but I completed a kids book this week in addition to the rest. plus I have been back to doing minor work for Fae Corps Publishing.
There’s some changes in the air for Fae corps that will be put in effect after the first of the year. Good ones I believe.

As you can see I made quite a lot of progress this week. unfortunately Much of it was yesterday and today I am feeling like I have overdone.
I am still healing. Yesterday I felt better than I have in at least the last three years. So, I fixed breakfast. I body doubled so my son could get some dishes done. I sat with him to help him do a chore I promised to do myself 3 months ago and flaked on. I was up and out of the bed all day. Which felt so good. And now I am in so much pain that just sitting here waiting for the meds to kick in is excruciating.
I will be moving slower today. I am likely to be napping at least some time today. And I have to give myself that grace because surgery was just a little bit more than a week ago. I want my body to heal.
However, I am feeling better. So, that means that the surgery is worth it.
Now, I Do realize that my adjustments will probably open up questions. so I am not doing a book review tomorrow…instead I will post a Q&A ASk me anything day. see you tomorrow.
My Response Is:
Here I sit for all to hear
Singing my history,
In hopes that I am not the only one
that learns lessons from it.
for forgotten history is repeated,
and repeated history is nothing but tears.
So, I will sing it as loudly as my voice allows.
I will sing it as often as I may...
And I will hope that I am strong enough
to keep the memories alive
and history at bay.
Okay, I am the original wallflower…but I signed up for an online poetry reading. I don’t step out of my comfort zone often but there is supposed to be other poets reading….the event listing on Facebook is here.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 13
my response is:
her movements were
hypnotic
using only her hips she
spoke volumes.
they call it belly dancing
but she made it hypnosis,
calling me to her,
creating a desire,
that felt so forbidden.
I wanted to watch her move
until the whole world ended.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 12
my response is :
the treasure I buried,
in the time capsule
wasn't something anyone
else wanted to add.
others added pictures
and bits of themselves,
I added words bound bright.
For when the capsule is dug up
and all of the treasure is found,
I want to speak to the future of
knowledge forgotten and thoughts
profound.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 11
my response is:
perhaps it is the universe's joke
played on my life that I keep ending up
walking down the roads to nowhere.
I end up finding a way to somewhere
but not in the normal ways.
I have no tether to the right road
and truthfully I don't know if I want one,
for I have learned more from being lost
than I ever could if I followed some plan.
I will gladly walk those roads to nowhere
and find myself lost and learning
than to follow the plan and be
miserable.
BTW I posted a poem a couple of days ago and I said I was not sure if it belonged in kissed by Verse. I think it does not. I am going to open a new volume for it and this one…
2026 PAD Challenge Day 9
my response:
Let us live together
as shadow people,
outside of society
outside of the binary
outside of the world
in its current state.
it was tried in the sixties
as communes but again
did human nature invade.
I do not want to be human
I do not want to be afraid
I just want to exist in my life
im my own way.
