Not much to report in terms of acceptances, but I did receive a very kind and personal rejection from one of the largest and most popular poetry magazines around.  They said they loved two of my poems that almost made it into their journal.  It was kind of refreshing since all I've been receiving the last few months are formal rejections. 

 

On another note, I just finished hammering out a 14 pg. first draft chapter for my memoir about the first time I went unconscious during Recon training.  It needs some heavy revision, but it'll get there.  Writing it brought back some painful, yet fond memories.  Good times, friends; good times.
