Episode 31:
Planning Your Year Ahead

It’s almost the end of the year, which for a lot of us means reassessing goals and making plans for the fresh new year ahead. In this episode, we chat about different kinds of writing goals as well as various ways you can break them down to make them easier to attain. In addition, we share some ways to help you meet those goals, and resources to help you level up your craft in 2024.
