“An artist needs to stay open. You always have to be ready for that little artistic epiphany.” Nick Cave

Day 5: Inspiration can strike anywhere, but rarely when you’re staring at the blank screen/page. I get most of my epiphanies while I’m out and about. Yesterday I went to my new favourite cafe (for slices of banana bread with cinnamon butter) and, for the first time went into their bathroom. It was gorgeous, with delicious old-fashioned recipes adorning the walls. In my shocked delight I was struck with new inspiration for my latest story. Now I have the perfect excuse to visit new cafes and eat cake – excellent!
