OMG. I just discovered you and starting to binge read your work on here. Absolutely loved this piece. Missed the deadline for a postcard, :( but what a novel idea! C'est la vie I suppose. Wishing you a spectacular book tour and wonderful time in Paris
But wow, a Paris tour sounds amazing!!! And that apartment is stunning! I've always wanted to buy a chateau and renovate it (I've spent years and years looking up chateaus for sale and now I watch YouTube channels of others doing the very thing I dreamed of), but it's only in recent years that my husband has warmed to the idea. No, that doesn't mean we're buying a chateau, but my husband doesn't think it's quite the terrible idea he used to think it was ... so I'll take that as progress :D
bon journee, evelyn!!!! hope you have the DREAmIEsT time en paris!!!!
nathan & i got to go there on art/writing reasons/grant last year-- 3 weeks barely scratched the surface! ack! what a city!!!!!!
(i did the postcard thing for my patreons while i was there, too!! thank you for your generosity!! so much FUN!!)
(the hubs and i are also dreaming of a parisian apt/studio someday.... i mean, crazier things have happened, right?! p.s. have you watched THE AGENCY on netflix? it's a french family of realtors in paris, and it's so much fun!) :D
Hi, Evelyn! I'm watching the solar eclipse today with my husband too. We've got our glasses ready. I put them on and told my husband: "But I can't see anything!" And he kind of did a little sigh and was he like exactly! Thank you for sharing your dream of owning a Paris apartment. It sounds lovely and that apartment was beautiful. Tom's reaction made me laugh. Maybe he just needs more time and some gentle nudging. You've inspired me to continue to think about my own dreams. I hope you have a safe flight and I'm looking forward to hearing about your France adventures.
You are a woman after my own heart! After my breakup with a boyfriend I had been living with for 3 years, my mother took me to Paris and Nice for 3 weeks. Long story short, I met some great friends, came back to the US, sublet my new apartment, and moved to Paris for a year. That was 1999 - 2000 (yes, I was in Paris for the new millennium!) and was in my early 30s. Perhaps I will write that story one day, but for now I'm working on my memoir about surviving the year after my husband died from cancer in 2021. It's a wild tale of dissociation, sex, heartbreak, and ultimately reconnection with my husband's spirit by allowing myself to grieve his loss. I have 10 full chapters posted on my Substack, but since I just started in mid February, I don't have paid subscription options, yet. Enjoy your tour Evelyn, and I'm on your team regarding the apartment! XO 🥰
I'm with you, that apartment is amazing!! 😍
Le sigh 😂🤣 honestly though Tom, why are you ruining our French life?

I witnessed a total solar eclipse when I was a child. It's a fantastic experience, can't wait to read your impressions.

I'm with you on the pastries!!! I'm not much of a city dweller, but I'd take a couple of months lease in that apt!
I need to see that apartment's bathroom. Have fun eclipsing (and book touring)!
