Yvonne,

When I signed up for the creative writing class at The University of Cambridge, I envisioned an elderly teacher with a tweed sports coat smoking a burled pipe.

When I learned that an American writer was the teacher, frankly, I was disappointed. But I want you to know that after reviewing your social media sites, it appears that you will be the perfect teacher for the advancement of my career, and I look forward to meeting you in person in May.

Where do you go to connect? Like many people I've been watching online spaces become less social and more ad-driven. I'm looking for places and spaces to connect, and ways to do it.

How do you connect? Are you engaging online? Gathering in offline places?

I'd like to host an in-person monthly event with readings, food, laughter, and maybe music and dancing. If I create it, will you come?
