The daring trio continue our discussion about critique as an important tool in a writer's toolbox!

This carries on from part 2 in episode 12, which recommend listening to as well.  Please visit our website at www.aroundthewriterstable.com to access the free download we are offering with this episode as well as a full transcript. 

Welcome to Around the Writer's Table 1st Year Anniversary Episode! We started this podcast in February of last year, and the airing of this episode marks a full turn of the seasons! We started with spring and slowly worked our way through the five seasons as explained in Melody's book, Soul of the Seasons, in ways that relate to writers and the creative process. Rounding out the year, we start with part one of "Winter," a time quiet "underground" creation, conservation, contemplation, and sometimes even grief. We talk about putting stories "under the mattress" and what it means to trust your intuition. Join us for this very special series!
