Description

We’re back—and just a little too excited about it. In this giddy return to the pod, Jenna reads the first chapter of Heather's current WIP, featuring Mason and Ronnie, two characters with too much communication and a whole lot of tension. Vicky brings the critique, and together we dive into why first chapters are so dang hard to get right. Spoiler: nobody’s first draft is sacred. Join us as we navigate awkward openings, info-dump avoidance, and the very real struggle of finding your voice on page one.
