Totally recommend Mia's quarterly newsletter, Farlane on Writing (see link in her profile). It's concise and informative.

A great way to start my posting on Blue Sky. I love The Undercurrent bookshop and gig space, corner of Vivian and Tory Street in Wellington.

My sister and I read at The Undercurrent bookshop last night. Sarah read a story by our mother and a poem by our aunt, and then I read my story 'Qiu Miaojin Is Still Alive'. There was also some blues, jazz and juggling - fun evening!
