from Storystruck

Season two of Story Struck is officially here 🎉In this laid-back, behind-the-scenes kickoff episode, Rachel Clair and Neno Littlewood ease back into podcast life after a much-needed break and share what’s coming up this season for authors, writers, and storytellers at every stage.From exciting new guest formats and craft-focused conversations to brand-new Story Spirals (deep-dive book discussions where we lovingly overanalyze everything), this episode is all about setting intentions, building community, and getting excited about writing again.You’ll also hear us talk candidly about our personal writing goals for the year, short stories, querying, genre exploration, publishing realities, and why stepping away can sometimes be the most productive thing you do as a writer.Plus: cats make surprise appearances, cozy fantasy gets some love, and we may or may not be plotting a future Substack 👀If you’re an author looking for encouragement and honest conversations about the writing life, you've found your people.💌 Don’t miss a thing: Subscribe and follow Storystruck wherever you listen so you never miss an episode!Be sure to follow us...
