This is so cool to hear. I really appreciate it.
Italy or Norway! I've never been to the latter, but I assume that, while both are polar opposites of the United States, they might be close to polar opposites of one another in the European context?
I like how you put it - fearing your own romantic ideas. It's a real danger. But I think it's one my wife and I have in check. It takes a fair bit of checking yourself and casting your mind into the future.
I am also looking forward to seeing my writing once we move! It's like I know exactly what to expect and have zero idea of what to expect from it all at the same time!
