Episode 60: Sometimes you have to give yourself a break

This is one of our candid catch-up episodes, where you can hear what’s going on with us and our writing. This week is maybe more candid than most: we explain why we have moved to an every-two-weeks format (the podcast editing is a tough slog alongside everything else).

We also feel we’ve wrapped up the should-you-quit-your-day-job side of Season 2, and we will mostly be back to our core content (and what we like best): talking to each other and writers about anything about balancing jobs and writing.

Then we talk about the real stuff going on in our life – Meghan finding a new writing schedule that’s less often, due to changing daytime responsibility, and Olivia still in the thinking and processing phase before figuring out what to write next.

You can listen right here on this page, or get Marginally on iTunesStitcherGoogle Play, or wherever get your podcasts.

As always, we’d love for you to take a minute to rate and review using your podcast app, as this helps other listeners find the show.
