Ever wonder what happens to all those brilliant audio drama ideas that never make it past the "what if" stage?

After reviewing our listener survey (thank you to everyone who participated!), we've gained valuable insights into what you need most from ADWIT. The results were clear: 80% prefer straightforward, consistent episodes focused on practical writing advice rather than elaborate productions with fictional narratives. We hear you, and we're shaping our content accordingly!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our Discord server, a community space where audio drama enthusiasts can share ideas and support each other through creative challenges.

Throughout this episode, we explore the invisible aspects of the writing process. As Sarah beautifully puts it, "Writing isn't just the act of putting words onto a pad or screen. It's the work, the cerebral time you give yourself." Whether you're walking your dog while contemplating character development or researching historical settings, all of it contributes to your craft.

For those looking to dive deeper into production aspects, we recommend excellent resources like Indie AF, Atypical Artist Resource Guide, and 11th Hour Audio. Each offers unique perspectives and guidance for turning your script into a polished audio drama.

Join us in our mission to help writers finish their scripts and share their stories with the world. Connect with our community on Discord, and let's transform those "what ifs" into "yes, ands" together!
