The Word Count

It’s our last episode for 2024 as we 𝘸𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘶𝘱 for Christmas (see what we did there? 😂) 

We share what we learned this year as writers, and make some BIG goals for our summer break ✍️ 

AND we draw the winner of our 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 LIVE!!! 🎉🎉🎉

If you listen to the very end you’ll hear a special message to Phil, who hit this episode’s intro out of the park! 🙌

Wishing all our dear listeners a very Merry Christmas & we hope you’ll check in with us again in 2025 to find out if we hit our goals - 𝘍𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢, 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘲 & 𝘑𝘰 💛 🎄🎄🎄
