in a french cafe in edinburgh surrounded by parisian- and provincial-french speakers; it's confusing my brain; I thought I left paris behind

03March2011 19:44

in edinburgh; had no idea what to expect and am astounded by how beautiful this city is; all cliffs and dark stone and great architecture

03March2011 14:21

on the train to edinburgh; funnily enough 4sq can't locate the train as it passes through the middle of nowhere

03March2011 09:04

LSO's mahler was accompanied by a piece featuring cellist mario brunello; incredibly emotional interpretation; loved his encore solo too

03March2011 09:01

saw LSO perform mahler 9 last night; beautifully poignant piece, delightfully captured — looking forward to @sydsymph doing same in may

01March2011 12:35

about to head home and pack paris into my bag; a daunting prospect; packing to come here was easier, and it's not that I've been shopping

here for one last nice meal (@ Kong) [pic]: http://4sq.com/dPgfu5

last parisian writing session today; just posted a wrap-up entry I wrote yesterday: http://wintermute.com.au/bits/2011-03/travel-log-vii/

26February2011 15:56

around 52k now and I've the remainder all plotted out; crazy watching it march inexorably towards its conclusion; difficult but v exciting

26February2011 15:42

real (good) martinis in paris! le fumoir, in the 1e; good coffee & atmosphere to boot; probably good for me I didn't find this place earlier

23February2011 16:19

approaching 50k words and just broke my two stories' first acts; more than half the story told tho, so need to re-work the old 3-act outline

17February2011 19:10

on the train about to leave reims for paris; has been an odd couple of days, mixing nostalgia and a little something like revulsion

16February2011 21:17

instead of "let us pray" priest here (written in paris) says, translated, "let us gather our prayers"; I like it; simple, familiar, communal

16February2011 20:26

didn't think mixed waiters could offer good service, nor that reims could offer a great meal; was a pleasant surprise to have one of my best

16February2011 11:34

made it to 40k and to reims; first stop l'apostrophe for lunch and wifi

13February2011 16:44

shooting for 40k over next cpl days, then off to revisit reims wed/thurs

10February2011 16:41

st sulpice, paris http://instagr.am/p/BgntS/

10February2011 16:37

reached 30k words at my halfway thru paris point, took the day off in st germain; watched black swan — awesome but not aronofsky's best

10February2011 16:36

and @stanmorePhoenix takes the prize for picking up an almost-political subtext; good points re dreams and reality tho, must re-think

08February2011 15:04

think I've found a title for raphaël's story: Dreams Of A City That Never Was; what does that imply to people?

05February2011 14:37

as promised, have published a bunch of photos from in and around paris: http://wintermute.com.au/photos/album/40/

05February2011 14:22

booked a trip to edinburgh for my final weekend in the UK! now need to work out what's there to see beyond the castle

02February2011 17:38

raphaël may have met someone; completely unplanned; I've had to switch to writing the 19thC story so he finds someone more age appropriate

30January2011 16:51

posted another travel log, along with some photos from london (paris to come!) http://wintermute.com.au/bits/2011-01/travel-log-v/

30January2011 16:09

restored the twitter->fb link, so the stuff i'm instagram'ing should show up too; this'll work while i'm on hols and not being too webby

26January2011 16:01

incidentally, apple's all-glass thing works beautifully positioned next to the louvre's reverse pyramid

26January2011 16:01

preparing for a set in apple store @ Apple Store http://instagr.am/p/BN9sg/
