2026 PAD Challenge Day 18

2026 PAD Challenge Day 18

my response is ( though late still )

according to the constitution
the definition of citizenship
is either one born on this soil
or one that follows the rules
and takes the tests to gain
the green card to become one.

if you stop them from getting the tests
you stop the legal process for citizenship ...
this country was founded on immigrants
the idea of immigration. the only non-immigrants were born here.

and even those were often
children of immigrants.

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

I feel like the week flies by. I swear I just posted my count yesterday.

I have a couple of new medications.

I feel like though I am exhausted and still fighting with bronchitis (Joe’s been giving me nyquil so I can sleep)  I have done fairly well with my poetry this week. I got a little bit of words to the current works in progress.

I have been able to keep up with the Fae Corps Publishing PAD Challenge so far. I have looked daily at the writer’s digest prompts and found that none of them work for me this time. I usually do their pad. as long as I am writing I don’t care where the prompt is coming from.

Tuesday Tunes will be up this week, I know that I have been hit or miss where that is concerned.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 10

my response is:

Keep using your artificial intelligence,
Though you know the consequences...
and when we live in a world without water
what will you do then?

The art and words you seek
can easily be gained from
a human being with no effects
to the environment,
but you don't seem to understand.

Still fighting bronchitis and I have a new wound in my foot. I am attempting the pad challenge using the Fae Corps Publishing prompts. This year I have been unable to see anything from the writer’s digest prompts. I guess I am just not in the right place for them.

Are you doing the pad challenge this year ?

okay I am running late today. I am also fighting bronchitis. This weather has me sick.

I started a new theme volume. so I listed it on there but the only writing in it so far is the foreword. That explains the idea of the volume and the rules I want to use within it. I don’t normally add that to the count because it is a natural part of the process…but it is starting that volumes set up. it is another one focusing on specific forms.

I also found out why I was struggling to get The sea serpent to go forward and fixed it. so I got some words in it.
