Freya at home on Arran, July 2025

The Doctor Zhivago chapter six essay is out! I always feel good after publishing. It’s remarkable that I’ve kept to my schedule for six weeks in a row. I honestly feel like I’ve found my thing, and my work is getting better all the time. Whether it can make me a reasonable living remains to be seen, but I’m doing good work, and that’s the only part I can control. Strategy could be the missing link, but in terms of working to my rhythm and energy levels, I’m not sure what else I could do. As soon as I start to think of a strategy, my brain clouds over. No, I’m pleased with where I am.

And I can’t wait for our London trip next month! Three nights, Freya’s finals recital, dinner with Freya and her partner and family, and tickets to The Lion King. Even Hamish is coming!
