To Reach The Green Light At The End Of The Pier

FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES: "We are saving ourselves through the words," says Eleanor, the leading lady of a novel-in-progress. This exploration into the creative process -- which includes plenty of distractions/tangents /thoughts & rants by Eleanor, her Biographer, and selected guest artists -- will continue until Eleanor is certain her story is "right." (But we dare not jump ahead of ourselves.)

There will be the occasional typo (as Eleanor points out), and much of this is intended to be "original draft" -- what comes out of our mouths (heads) first, and then set down in that order. Not all of it will be included in the novel, but all of it is happening in real time.

A Young Writer Appears With Mangoes

A young writer showed up today at The Little Room, during this time of rehab, with a basket of mangoes and a story. Eleanor, of course, wanted to have a mango right away, but I stopped her. Let the young writer speak, I said. He's telling us his story now. Somehow this is necessary to the 28 days of rehab. I'll know more of the significance later, or tomorrow, so we beg your indulgence in the meantime.

ELEANOR says: "Please turn the page. Keep reading."

For more of Eleanor and her Biographer -- as well as the work of our many guest artists -- check out the older postings. "Everything is part of the process, and the process is the journey," Eleanor says.
