It's our last episode of 2022, so we're taking a look back at our reading and writing goals for the year, as well as looking ahead to 2023. Show Notes: We may have dropped the ball on 52 Weeks of Short Stories, but that doesn't mean we won't try something new in 2023. The Artist's Way, anyone? Jette is so close to being done her graphic novel script! Gen finally finished the first draft of her YA novel! We can't wait for all the events next year, like Word on the Street, TCAF, and Toronto Festival of Authors. Stelliform Press is a new to us publisher that we hope to work with in the new year!
