Going freelance and being my own boss has been a dream and plan I have wanted to follow for years. It is not an over night reaction to a busy to do list. It is about following a dream, creating a legacy and actually listening to my gut. Life is about taking chances and making calculated risks. October 2015 will be a new chapter in my life.
Watching fireworks at the end of festival always signals change for me. The bustle and magic of Edinburgh Festival diasappears from the city's skyline and the performers give way to first year students coming to study in Auld Reekie for the first time. That was me twenty years ago coming to Edinburgh to study publishing; swapping Braco's Front Street for Lothian Road. I wouldn't have watched fireworks that year, but I did the week before I got married; in the weeks leading up to leaving the Bank; the list goes on. It is as though September becomes a new year for me and I move forward in new venture.
Five weeks to freelance; five weeks to a blank page and a new chapter.
