Although living so close to Mr Frog was obviously the most practical solution for you after your break-up and good for Tadpole, perhaps it has made it a little harder for you and him to completely move on, free of guilt and free of remorse. You might find too, that the move will be very positive for your relationship with Mr Frog with enough distance between you to rid your friendship of the awkwardness. With this distance, I would also imagine that Mr Frog might not feature so often, he may not even read it so often as his life begins to move on. Obviously, I have no real idea what I'm talking about as I don't know either of you, but I'm just offering my 2 cents based on what I take from your writing...but I think things can only get better for you from here. The move might be very hard at first (any transition period is always hard) but ultimately, you are doing what you feel is best for you and Tadpole and that can only be a positive thing. I'm sure all your readers will be looking forward to reading about this new phase in your life. Courage!

I won't say I haven't thought about using some of it in some way. Time is my enemy right now, but who knows? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We’ll see.

By my reckoning that's almost two books! People have probably gone about this before, but I'm convinced that your anecdotes about life in France (leaving aside the pros and cons of writing about more personal issues) would make a great book. There's a seemingly endless market for the recollections of expats abroad, and most of the writing is absolute s****, so yours would make a refreshing change. I'm sure that your writing could become lucrative as well as cathartic - it might provide a source of income when you move to Rennes. Anyone out there got contacts in publishing?... 150,000+ words?
