LitfestSo, we all use (or are meant to use) Facebook for advertising our events, and inviting people to come along. And people say yes, no or maybe. Maybe? Is this a maybe, as long as the car starts/train arrives on time kind of maybe? Or is it a maybe probably not but I don’t want to say an outright no because that way my face won’t get on the event guest list?
Maybe I’m being cynical.
We’ve had some maybes for our recent summer season of readings from eager readers in California and Arizona. Maybe I’m being unfair and maybe they are planning a trip over and maybe that’ll include a trip to Lancaster to come and visit The Storey and the reading that week.
Maybe people are really that enthused by our summer readings. We have had a pretty diverse collection of people come to Lancaster to read and tell stories and perform poetry. The last event is tomorrow night, with Jay Griffiths, talking about her book Wild. I heard her a couple of years ago in Kendal. She was brilliant speaker of her motivation for travel and of her respect for the wildernesses she visited. Warm, generous, genuine and funny.
Maybe I’ll go and listen to her again.
