Cancelled (by sarah)
Well after being excited that even though I was now doing my MRes I would still be able to read at the poetry night during the Cheltenham Literature Festival I find that the night I was performing at was cancelled - now I know it was only what is termed a fringe event but I am really disappointed and I had organised people to come and see me. I had also organised to come back from London especially for the event.
I feel really stupid for having told people I was reading at it now as well :'(

Now, why should that make you feel stupid?
How can something being cancelled possibly reflect badly on you?

Sarah, the fact that this reading time has been cancelled is no fault of yours. You are not able to do the reading, but someone liked your work enough to ask you: so whilst you're not reading you were asked.
Remember, most of the rest of us have never had this pleasure. Don't be sad you will get there.
