I enjoyed hearing you two discuss Mari in the Margins and the writing process. This encourages me to keep going. I’m also a grandmother who has a story I believe in. It’s in revision AGAIN. Madeline L’Engle quotes are golden. Excuse me, now I need to get a copy of Mari in the Margins in the mail for an 11 year old friend.

Thank you, Tricia! Yes, do keep going. I have fifteen (or is it sixteen?) drafts of Mari in the Margins!

I am a first time listener and so glad I did! I am encouraged that you stuck with your idea and that it came to fruition. I am three months into waiting for an answer about a manuscript I feel passionately about and I have been diving into other writing projects while I wait.

Thanks! The waiting is hard but having other projects definitely helps!

I have been tempted to quit but fortunately that temptation doesn’t last. The clock is ticking and every time I thought I was finished I was not. I just listened to the podcast with Jonathan Rogers too. Interesting, he referenced the epistolary form, and my story is epistolary historical fiction. Thanks for the encouragement.

Oooh, I am a big fan of epistolary books. We need more of them!
