Slave to the routine
And why I'm working hard on feeling no shame in admitting I have needs... now
"Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home."
—James Joyce, Ulysses
Hi friends,
Lovely to have you here on this leg of the journey.
If you’re a new subscriber and want to know more about what happens around these parts when I’m not traversing northern Europe in a motorhome, including all my expressive writing courses for autumn, then head to my welcome post for the lowdown:
Start here! Welcome to What Now? with Lindsay Johnstone
“There is so much here for smart, creative women from this smart, creative woman, plus I have only just discovered Lindsay reading extracts from her powerful memoir – I am already hooked (and now a complete fan of her work).” anna wharton, Sunday Times bestseller, The Orwell Prize longlisted writer and writer of The Spectator’s Book of the Year 2023
As I said last week, my Sunday posts will more often than not be behind the paywall while we’re away. I’m not sure if these ideas will make their way eventually into a more substantial work but regardless, I’m certain that what I’m exploring belongs in the safe space.
