And… we’re back! Join us for 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝟐 of @𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙥𝙤𝙙 ✨  

We can’t believe it is already 2024 and a new season! 

Episode 1 can easily be summed up as 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙅𝙊 𝘿𝙄𝙓𝙊𝙉. Jo's second book A Shadow At The Door was published on 3rd Jan and this ep is both a celebration and a deep dive into what happens once a book is published!

(We also may not have let on to Jo it would all be about her, so her surprise & emotion are real 😂)

This episode also includes your favourite regular features: ✍️ The Accountability Check-in and ✍️ Setting goals for the next 2 weeks, as well as a shout-out to Kylie Orr, author of The Eleventh Floor and our new honorary member Holly B (you’ll have to listen to find out what she is doing hanging out with us!) 

EPISODE 9 is available wherever you love to listen. The link is also in our bio ✨ 

We love hearing your goals or whatever you think of the episodes so please let us know in the comments below. Don't forget to add your word for the year! - 𝘍𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢, 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘲 & 𝘑𝘰 💛

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 is about writing a book to publication, what to expect once published, and everything in between. Each fortnight we check in, set goals, and have a lot of fun while we try to keep each other accountable on our journey to publication! 📒📒📒

Follow 3 Australian writers step-by-step as they write toward publication:

• Jo Dixon - bestselling author of The House Of Now & Then
• Fiona Taylor - procrastinating crime writer & host of the Reading By Candlelight pod
• Jacq Ellem - fellow procrastinator of cozy crime & host of award-winning podcast Tales From Three Corners

We asked you, our listeners, to send in your unfinished essays. We didn’t mean first drafts. We meant those essays you’ve been working on forever that you can’t get to the bottom of. Today on our show, we bring you an unfinished essay by listener Julie Schoelzel, a writer from Keene, New Hampshire. We hope to offer Julie insights into figuring out what she’s come to say and how to finish her essay. 

In every class, of every essay, we ask: What is the story about? After several drafts, we hope the narrator can answer this question because every scene and every detail must lead the reader/listener to that conclusion. 

Thank you Julie Schoelzel for being brave and sharing your story.

You’ll hear a story by Autumn Hudson, an elite body tattoo artist, who went from dropping out of school, to drug addiction, to fulfilling her dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
