Annnnd… we’re back, dear listeners!

After a restorative holiday break, we’re back at our desks, in front of our microphones, and ready for another year of 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩.

💛 Did Jo finish a first draft of Book 4?
 💛 Did Fiona finish a first draft of Book 1?
 💛 Did Jacq… well, Jacq was just going to see what happens — so maybe that’s a given 😄

Along with accountability, we’re sharing our word for 2026, what we’re reading, and what we’re going to do differently this year as we wrangle 2026 into shape and give ourselves the best possible chance of achieving our writing dreams.

So sit back, grab your beverage of choice, and enjoy Episode 52, available wherever you love to listen 🎧
