Today I went to a cafe I’ve never been to before, with a new friend, I’d never been anywhere before. I had no expectations about anything happening, but hoped for at least a good cup of coffee, and something nice to eat. But I’ve had good writing related things happen in a cafe before, and so I went with a few of my books, and the idea the cafe may be open to some kind of writing related event.
The Cafe owner was lovely, and after having a deep and meaningful talk about important things, my friend and I went to talk with the owner about me doing ‘something’ there. And yes, that something may well end up with me having a Writer in residence gig at the hotel!
I’ll talk with my support worker about all of this tomorrow – she knows this cafe too, and I hope for good times to come, all because I was prepared, and I was ready to discuss possible options. Wonderful times may come!
