Finally received word of my masters result- which looks like a pass with no amendments! Am really relieved about this and looking forward to starting afresh with the doctorate at the University of Western Sydney.

I received an invitation today from Casula Powerhouse to participate in “Writing Asia” as part of the Sydney Writers Festival. It is an all Vietnamese-Australian panel looking at first generation and second generation issues which promises to be interesting.

I also got a residency at Glenfern, a historical house in East St Kilda courtesy of the Victorian Writers Centre.

It really suits me to be able to have a couple of days dedicated to writing in a different space.
