July events

Posted by Daniela Elza on Jun 29 2014

Time has been precious and scarce. I have been negotiating with exhaustion daily. Got back from Portland late on the 27th, and last night was the Marpole Dance Festival. Sometimes life is like that. I am currently also guest editor of an anthology and going through about three dozen manuscripts to which I have to give feedback. It is fun except for the tight deadline which makes it feel like you have had too much of something good. It is that kind of time crunch. A crunch of time. And you do not want to rush it, each one deserves the same attention as the one before and so…that is how it goes.

In the mean time here are the July events I will be part of. Two presentations and conference/sympsiums, three readings and a workshop. You can pre-register for the workshop so the organizers have a better idea of numbers. It is free. Maybe I will see you at some of these. If you are there, come and say hi. Ok, now back to editing.
