Moving On

That was an amazing experience. I am on the move again after spending around 2 months sleeping in the hills around Edinburgh. I am fitter than I was and Dreamwords, I hope, has gained a greater sense of place than it may have had if I had relied solely on my memory as a Glaswegian visitor. I can easily draw a picture in my mind of my Edinburgh of 1,000 years in the future and I can see the characters in the novel journey through the landscape - living their extraordinary lives to the full.
Although June was one of the wettest in many years, I had some great nights under the stars and many sun-filled days. When I slept in the Pentlands, it took me roughly 2hrs 30 minutes and 1,000 ft of climbing to get to bed and about 2 hours to get back into the city centre and breakfast in the morning.
As I search for an agent, it is time to place myself in a situation where I can live well among friends and write with ease.I have no idea how long I'll stay this time, but I am ready to return to Croatia and the next stage of this journey. I will visit Split in a little over a week, wary of expecting too much, but looking forward to seeing a few of the wonderful people I met there over the past year. I will write and, if I can figure a way around my limited voice-acting skills, I may even podcast 10 Downing St as I do so.To everyone I've met on my travels, to every friend I've made, to those who have written to thank and encourage me, to those who put their faith in me by investing their cash in my future, I want you all to know that I am forever grateful. I will do everything in my power to succeed and repay that faith and to deserve your friendship.
