Episode 67: Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Description

It’s our 3rd birthday episode 🎈🎈🎈 Three years ago, Fiona, Jo and Jacq sat down to record the very first episode of a little podcast about three writers trying to get from blank page to published book. 67 episodes later… here we are! πŸŽ‰ For this special birthday episode, the original trio are back together to celebrate, and to look back at just how much has changed in three years. We’re talking about the writers we were when we started, the advice we’d give those versions of ourselves now, the moments that made us laugh, the things we’re most proud of, and what writing means to each of us three years down the track. And, because it wouldn’t be The Word Count without it, there’s plenty of writing chat and an accountability check-in too ✍️ Most of all, this episode is a celebration of three years of writing, friendship and this gorgeous community that has grown around the podcast. Thank you to everyone who has listened, messaged, shared an episode, come to an event, joined us on retreat or simply cheered us on from afar.Β  You’ve been an important part of our story too πŸ’› π‘‡β„Žπ‘’ π‘Šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘‘ πΆπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ 𝑖𝑠 π‘Ž π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘™-𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒, π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘™-π‘‘π‘–π‘šπ‘’ π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘” π‘π‘œπ‘‘π‘π‘Žπ‘ π‘‘ π‘“π‘œπ‘™π‘™π‘œπ‘€π‘–π‘›π‘” π΄π‘’π‘ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘™π‘–π‘Žπ‘› π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘  π‘œπ‘› π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘š π‘π‘™π‘Žπ‘›π‘˜ π‘π‘Žπ‘”π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘π‘’π‘π‘™π‘–π‘ β„Žπ‘’π‘‘ π‘π‘œπ‘œπ‘˜ β€” π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦π‘‘β„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘” 𝑖𝑛 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑀𝑒𝑒𝑛. π½π‘œπ‘–π‘› πΉπ‘–π‘œπ‘›π‘Ž π‘‡π‘Žπ‘¦π‘™π‘œπ‘Ÿ, π½π‘œ 𝐷𝑖π‘₯π‘œπ‘› π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π½π‘Žπ‘π‘ž πΈπ‘™π‘™π‘’π‘š π‘Žπ‘  π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘¦ π‘ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘–π‘Ÿ π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘” π‘π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘”π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘ π‘ , 𝑠𝑒𝑑 π‘”π‘œπ‘Žπ‘™π‘  π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘˜π‘’π‘’π‘ π‘’π‘Žπ‘β„Ž π‘œπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘Žπ‘π‘π‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘π‘Žπ‘π‘™π‘’, π‘Žπ‘™π‘œπ‘›π‘”π‘ π‘–π‘‘π‘’ π‘ π‘π‘’π‘π‘–π‘Žπ‘™ π‘’π‘π‘–π‘ π‘œπ‘‘π‘’π‘  π‘€β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ πΉπ‘–π‘œπ‘›π‘Ž π‘‘π‘Žπ‘™π‘˜π‘  π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Ž π‘Žπ‘’π‘‘β„Žπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘  π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘–π‘›π‘‘π‘’π‘ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘¦ 𝑔𝑒𝑒𝑠𝑑𝑠 π‘Žπ‘π‘œπ‘’π‘‘ π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘”, π‘π‘’π‘π‘™π‘–π‘ β„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘” π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝐸𝑁𝐷. πΈπ‘Žπ‘ π‘¦-π‘‘π‘œ-𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑑𝑒𝑛-π‘‘π‘œ π‘’π‘π‘–π‘ π‘œπ‘‘π‘’π‘  π‘œπ‘“ π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ 30 π‘šπ‘–π‘›π‘’π‘‘π‘’π‘  πŸ’›
