This past spring, I quietly began sharing a small piece of my heart…the early chapters of a novella that had been tucked away in my writing files for years. Those first five chapters, which you may remember from earlier posts here on the blog, were shared simply for the joy of storytelling…and for the joy of connecting with you.
Since then, something lovely has happened.
As I revisited those pages, I’ve felt a new spark for Eleanor’s journey. Many of you reached out to say you were following along, relating to her story of change, memory, and quiet beginnings. It has been deeply meaningful to me.
And so, today I’m sharing a little update…
***Starting next Friday, August 1, I’ll be continuing Eleanor’s journey in a new series:
Book Two: Summer in the City
This next part of the novella will be published on Substack, and it will be available through a paid subscription.
It’s a small but significant step for me…both as a writer and as someone learning how to honor the time and care that goes into creating a story like this.
If you’ve enjoyed reading so far, I’d be honored to have you join me there.
Of course, my regular blog posts here will continue…filled with reflections on life, seasons, home, and all the everyday joys I love to share with you.
But this story…this little novella that began quietly with five simple chapters…is now growing into something more. And I’d love for you to be part of what’s next.
With heartfelt thanks,
Marcia
Wow, Book Two on Substack. I believe I am already a subscriber and looking forward to next Friday.
