A Memoir In 65 Postcards & The Recovery Diaries Paperback / softback

Inspired by Julia Cameron’s classic The Artist’s Way, Eleanor set out on a project to write every morning, and crucially, to publish it on Substack that same morning; a commitment to press the button as soon as she’d finished, and before she had time to regret it.

She set rules: she’d do no forward planning, she’d tell whatever story came to mind, the writing would take no longer than an hour, the reading of it, no longer than a minute.

What came was A Memoir In 65 Postcards, the personal story that had been knocking about her system for well over twenty years.

Questions were answered, and a puzzle was put together.

Using the same rules of engagement, its follow up, The Recovery Diaries, became a deeper exploration of what emerged and how she is now. With humour and honesty, from a pagan commune to sobriety, this collection of essays and stories form a unique exploration of wealth, survival, the questions that haunt us, and what makes us human.

It’s you and me. It’s where our worlds collide.
