Hello all, pardon my absence once again, but I have good reason! You see, I am moving tomorrow, and not just across town, across state, or across country. For those who do not follow my personal sites, I am moving to Japan for a year or more to start my first post-grad job in teaching English. Yay money! Boo interrupting writing time!<\/p>\n
First, though, did y’all see me in the newspaper? That’s right, that article I interviewed for in January made its appearance in the Port Orford News last week! Sadly, I do not have a scanner, nor is the paper online, so Ican’t share it with you. I’d take a picture, but I’ve already packed up my camera! Oh well. Just take my word on it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Editing has begun on CROSS\/\/Rebirth. A new version of chapter one is up. Not too many changes so it’s not necessary to download it again if you’ve already read it – just some typos and cleaning up a few sentences. Chapter 2 is where the real editing begins. <\/p>\n
To be honest, I am rather excited about traveling this week! You see, I am working on a short story compilation that revolves around airports, including topping off one that I’ve been working on for about a month now. I am hoping to use my five hour layover in Vancouver to work on it. Its current title is “Men in Uniform”, and about halfway through it took a different direction that I intended, but I always consider that a good thing! Keeps it fresh for myself, ha. I’m hoping to complete it before I board the plane for Tokyo!<\/p>\n
So next time you hear from me, readers, I will be in and hopefully settled in my new home in Japan. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for new writing\/reading spots and hopefully can be inspired on my current (and new) works there. Environment is very important to me when I write so I’m sure there will be a big entry on that when I start finding some places.<\/p>\n
Wish me luck, guys. Actually, the thing I’m worried about the most is making all my flights! So wish me luck on that! ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
