God, so exceptionally helpful. I'm going to reply to the emails in the next day or two, but just wanted to comment and say thank you for the thoughtful responses--both in video, and written out here.
I've got 3 novel-length drafts finished, and won't be letting myself leap onto another first-draft until at least one is ready for submission.
This + some very helpful advice from S.E. Reid in a note has me feeling less like a fool adrift in the ocean with a raft and nothing else to a fool adrift in the ocean, but with a little boat and a compass.
Going to try and make time to get through that course of yours, looks great. I'm also enjoying coming into contact with your writing, being a fan of Eleanor's already before the start of this project.
Hi, Willow, So glad to hear from you and that you're finding direction for what's next. I'd love to be engaged with you in the course—and all else—including your Substack. Looking forward to that email, to what happens next with your three drafts--and that gives you lots of options. Keep me posted. xo Mary
Great to see and hear you Mary, and to learn more about Eleanor. Very grateful to receive your wisdom on this Saturday and looking forward to more videos and interesting discussions.
Fabulous inspiration to start my Saturday! Challenge for me, how does a poet create an elevator pitch? How does one describe poetry? This is my challenge with my music.
Great question, Persephone. I've put your question in our queue. I particularly love "How does one describe poetry" and we'll talk about that elevator pitch, too! Love to you, ~ Mary
I found this a very interesting discussion, even though I have no plans for a book. I think the format works really well.
That is so encouraging. I'm so glad you are reading--and from what I can tell, you have a book in the making here on Substack.

Great question, Persephone. This is going to require some thinking.....
