  • Episode 110 - Learning to Check In and Assess

    It's that time of the year again. The pollen is thick, it's still sometimes gloomy, and the imposter syndrome is strong.

    Every writer feels like they flounder or hit a wall. Not the goblins though, they're perfect.

    jk.

    The goblins check in with each other's writing journey. What hurdles have they been feeling, how are they coping, what are they looking forward to?
