We are so happy to welcome Mary Murchie, the Manuscript academy’s Minister of Happiness!
Mary has an unusual, amazing talent: she can make anyone feel better just by calling them up.
Knowing that writing requires you to take a whole-person approach—if you aren’t feeling right, often your work will come out strangely—we have her on staff as our Minister of Happiness to call our members and pep them up.
In this episode, we go over common things writers say when Mary calls, trends in the writing community, and how to stay creative in stressful times.
