this is going to hurt ...

I've been editing Pomponne ... it felt a little like standing naked in front of a full length mirror trying to decide which bits of myself to chop off. Naturally, I don't want to chop any bits off, but I can accept that maybe if I did the whole would be improved. But what if I am wrong? How will I feel if one day I meet someone truly wonderful who then turns to me and says, "I really like you, honestly ... it's just that there's something missing ..." 

Now ... rewriting I do like, because it's an instant, appreciable improvement. You'd hope. 

It was last summer/autumn when I took this photograph ... thanks to the look of the kids, it reminds me of Gus Van Sant's film, "Paranoid Park" but with the Eiffel Tower lurking in the background ... Paranoid Paris.

Speaking of which - Rachel : I'm sure you blame me for Ken's negativity. I can see it in your eyes when he goes off on one!
