Bound Together

In this first part of the Plotting vs Pantsing Challenge Sarah and Laura teach each other the rules of their wildly different writing routines in preparation to swap them!

Sarah interviews Laura about their upcoming cozy fantasy Enemies to Booksellers that is releasing on January 18th.

It's the end of the year, Sarah and Laura are gearing up for 2025 with a whole new ambitious list of author goals for the year. Will they complete them or are they flying to close to the sun?

Remember those author goals Laura and Sarah made at the start of the year? They totally remembered and now they're going to go through and see which ones they completed.

Sarah and Laura have large TBR piles so they're picked a few of the books they are excited to read next year.

Laura and Sarah recently learned about quick and slow release authors. Now, they're here to tell you all about what they are.

Laura and Sarah read the first chapters on their very first works to see what they could do better. Enjoy an angsty sly warrior just trying to save the world while being distracted by cherry blossoms in Laura's "Ash Vena and The Keeper of the Knives". Then delve into the apocalyptic zombie action in Sarah's "Them", as we drive a car with far too many characters to keep track of, that all end up gone-burger within a few paragraphs. Magic!

Sarah and Laura have some more book recommendations for you. So strap yourselves in to hear about some amazing books.

Sarah and Laura discuss endings of chapters. Why are they important? Does every chapter require a hook? Is there such a thing as a chapter-less novel?

Nanowrimo came under fire at the start of 2024 and Laura and Sarah decided to no longer associate with the website. Now, as the organisation comes under fire again, they talk about how they have moved on from it.
