Marissa chats with Adrienne Young and Isabel Ibañez about their new co-authored writing resource - THE STORYTELLER’S WORKBOOK: AN INSPIRATIONAL, INTERACTIVE GUIDE TO THE CRAFT OF NOVEL WRITING  - as well as a shared nostalgia for school librarians and journalism classes; the reality of how much of our careers we really have control over, and where we should be putting most of our focus and energy; creating boundaries on social media; tips for tackling writer's block; and the myriad ways "The Storyteller's Workbook" can assist in writing and publishing your novel - from developing characters, to coming up with titles, to tracking your progress, to writing your query, and so much more. Plus, we talk about our goals for the new year and dreaming for the future!Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer Find out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
