Surprise! I’ve decided to end 2025 with another interlude, and let me just say you are in for a very fun ride with this one. Michelle Sanchez and Z. T. Fairfax joined me on the show to chat about choosing between story ideas. Since a new year is right around the corner, this is a great time to think about what stories you want to write in 2026. From reflecting on what projects you feel you can see through to the end to being aware of the market, I hope our conversation gives you golden advice for how you can pick between your WIPs. This interlude is the perfect blend of insightful, entertaining, and a little chaotic, and I’m delighted it’s finally yours. Thank you so much to Michelle and Zack for being superstar guests and for wrapping up another fabulous year of Literary Blend with me.

To all my listeners and guests, thank you for making 2025 an incredible year for the show. Hosting Literary Blend is such a gift, and I’m grateful for all the memories the podcast gave me this year. I’m looking forward to more amazing conversations and even wilder plot twists in 2026.

Are you enjoying Literary Blend? Do you have a topic suggestion for a chapter? Would you like to be a guest on the show? I would love to hear from you.
