Unofficially Recognized
At the risk of vanity posting, I’ve compiled an index of the unofficial challenges my work has been recognized in. Instead of posting my entries to those challenges, I’m including the challenge results posts, which include the details of the challenge and all of the entries, not just mine.

Paul's Explicate My Poem Unofficial Challenge -The Results!
Well now. Writers. Friends. I had no idea what kind of response I would get when I ran this challenge. I am always grateful for the support I get on this platform with the various unofficial challenges I've run over the last few years. But this felt a little different. Like I may have asked too much or it may have been a little self-centred.

Who's ready?. Top Story - August 2026.
Who's ready for going back to school? Are the teachers and students really ready? Are they, or aren't they? They wait and wait for holidays and summer breaks to get away somehow. Do they really like to teach? I think they do but with everything that this profession includes, I believe, that they endure and they continue to plan what to do each year that they are a part of the noblest profession.

130 Stories and 5 Years Later
A bit over five years ago, deep into the pandemic - when we were so used to panic that it was just an underlying emotion we could ignore, and still surprising ourselves at how we could be surprised at the depth of people’s stupidity - an Instagram ad popped up on my feed for a website that paid per read. I had already been debating writing on Medium or Substack, but I found their systems and memberships convoluted. The Instagram ad for Vocal showed ease of use. I signed up. It was going to give me $0.003 per read, which was more than I was getting for posting on my own website Colochos de Flores anyways. Since signing up, I have grown my writing skills, community, pieces, into an allegedly positive digital footprint.

Getting Oriented
I drove to Hickory this morning, up the backroads and 321, into the mountains to my new campus for orientation. Beautiful drive through the North Carolina countryside—Dallas, High Shoals, Lincolnton, Maiden, and Newton are the towns I pass through, even go right past Lineberger’s (stopped on the way home for some tomatoes, scored some figs, too). I live in the foothills, in the shadow of Spencer Mountain, so I’m climbing enroute, coasting home. I even found a gas station (well, more of a truck stop) with gas around fifty cents lower per gallon than I’m currently paying near home and an old general store/gas station with the old pumps, the ones that don’t read cards.

Though I crossed one hundred thousand miles
If you are wondering about the cryptic reference to Bowie, a Space Oddity, I have been on something of a space odyssey myself recently. I have been giving myself lots of space to contemplate the meaning of my written work. Sometimes I wonder why I bother. Some of my best writing has received few, some times no, readers. What's the point?
