So, I'm yet again determined to make this blogging thing happen. I've always been crap at it, but I'm going to try again.
Some great things have been happening. After a nice string of publications in literary journals, my first chapbook has been accepted by Taiga Press for the initial release in its Tundra Chapbook Series. YAY! It should be out late this Fall, and I'm the happiest little boy in Germany. Which doesn't seem like such a hard thing to be.
I'm moving back to the States on June 13th. While I think this is a good thing, the main impetus for moving is kind of sad. My dad's been diagnosed with a rare condition that affects the immune and muscular systems, and there's no cure. Treatment is possible, but it's bad news. Y'know the bad news. So that sucks. They just found out, so they're still not sure how far along the disease has progressed. He's being really positive, and I'm trying ot do the same. It's just hard being all the way over here and not knowing anything. Blech.
The upside to moving is, I've realized Germany isn't my home. I really miss my family and my friends that might as well be family, and I'm really excited to see them all again. I'm thinking of taking at least a year off before going to grad school and teaching high school. We'll see.
Okay, don't wanna blow my blog load all on the first post in forever. If anyone actually reads or cares, I will try to post more regulary.
Bye.
