As creatives, opportunities and ideas are never in short supply; unfortunately, time often is. And so we are forced to choose: which opportunities will we pursue? In which ideas we will invest? Each new year provides us with a chance to reconsider what we ‘yes’ to, and as we do so, it’s crucial to remember that for every ‘yes’ we give, we’re automatically saying ‘no’ to something else. In this final episode of Season Two, we are sharing what we are saying ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to in 2024 regarding our writing lives and Writing Off Social. For show notes click here.
