If you've been dreaming about writing your novel, the new year is the perfect time to finally make it happen.

My Notes to Novel Program has helped nearly a thousand writers break free from the cycle of starting

and stalling, and I want to help you do the same. The wait list is open now, and when you join,

you'll get early access before the public launch, free writing tools delivered to your inbox,

and exclusive VIP bonuses.

So if you're ready to make 2026 the year you actually finish your book, save the date because

doors open on January 22nd and spots fill up fast. Head over to savannahgilbo.com forward

slash waitlist to save your spot. One more time, that's savannahgilba.com forward slash waitlist.

Unlike real life, which is often random and chaotic, stories need to follow an internal logic that

creates meaning. So each seed needs to grow naturally from what came before it and plant seeds for

what comes after it. This deliberate type of cause and effect chain

is what's going to distinguish a story that's well crafted from a story that's full of just a

sequence of events. Welcome to the fiction writing made easy podcast. My name is Savannah

Gilbo and I'm here to help you write a story that works. I want to prove

to you that writing a novel doesn't have to be overwhelming. So each week, I'll bring you a brand

new episode with simple, actionable, and step-by-step strategies that you can implement in your

writing right away. So whether you're brand new to writing or more of a seasoned author looking

to improve your craft,

this podcast is for you. So pick up a pen and let's get started.

In today's episode, we're going to do something fun and a little different. Since we're

nearing the end of 2025, I thought it would be fun to do a little highlight reel of clips from

the top 10 most listened to episodes this year.
