In this episode, we touch base on our challenge to submit something every other month. Meghan’s had one thing published and some rejections on a short story, and Olivia has also submitted an essay and worked on some other pieces. We also chat about our recent month or so of writing, including coming to terms with challenging schedules (hello, November, nice to see you again) and how to move ahead. Also: what to do when you’re almost ready for other people to read your draft and it’s scary!
Finally, we’ll putting out a guide to writing while you travel in our last episode this year. We’re looking to put together a few more guides, so if you have anything you’d like a guide on, let us know!
