It's the final week of Four Seasons Writers Retreat Volume I: Autumn, and Meg and Courtney discuss writing instincts – from trusting yourself to know what kinds of stories you want to write and methods you want to use, to listening to your heart when it tells you not to do something. Your co-hosts wrap up the chat by dissecting what we've learned from the Autumn series of episodes, and bring some recommendations of cozy books. BTS somehow also get a mention...

We hope you enjoy your stay!

Welcome to episode two of the autumn volume of Four Seasons Writers Retreat. This week, Courtney Smyth and Meg Grehan discuss writing aesthetics: How important are they? Can they affect your writing?
