Season One Finale

We have reached the last episode of season one! For 33 weeks we’ve shown up week in and week out and have lots of fun creating this podcast, but this isn’t goodbye, it’s see you soon. 

Taking 9 weeks off for summer, we will work hard to plan and create the best podcast episodes about writing. We are writers and we want to share what we’re learning to help you grow as a writer too. 

So we will be back on September 3rd for more interviews, toolbox episodes and dad and daughter chats.

In this episode, Pete and Laura chat about the podcast season one. They decide on their favourite podcast episodes and top moments from season one. 

Oh, and have some laughs along the way!

Pete mentions Ann Handley’s Newsletter Tips

Everybody Writes Writing Tip of the Fortnight

Write four drafts to everything:

The Ugly First Draft. Barf it up! Get it out!The chainsaw edit. Move the big chunks around. Is it starting to take shape? Surgical-tool edit. Finer editing. Each word must earn its keep. Read it out loud. Does it sound like writing? If so, revisit #3. Repeat.
