Hello everyone, happy new year! As mentioned in our christmas episode, Papertrail is going on hiatus for a while, but do not fear! Alex has been working on a side project we wanted to share with you here first. PageBreak explores the process of taking your work from first draft, to finished product, and the challenges along the way. <a href= "https://alexblott.com/pagebreak">Listen on our website</a> / <a href="https://soundcloud.com/alex-blott/sets/pagebreak">Listen on Soundcloud</a> The show seeks to illuminate parts of the creative process which are often overlooked, and offer support and encouragement to writers at all stages of their practice. If you enjoy the show, please let me know <a href= "https://twitter.com/alexblott">@AlexBlott</a>, or by emailing <a href= "mailto:PapertrailPodcast@gmail.com">PapertrailPodcast@gmail.com</a>. This pilot is to gauge whether people are interested in the concept, so if you want to hear more, even a quick 👍 on Twitter is enough! Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the show! Alex.
