Episode 23: On Fast Drafting, the End of Act 1, and the Snackdown

Welcome to the final episode of Storybeast's season 1, where Courtney Shack and Ghabiba Weston discuss the transformative power of story. This episode is all about recent writing victories and this past season. WARNING: episode contains A LOT OF SNACKS.  

You'll hear about: 

  • Courtney's announcement of her book. Sign up here for an ARC this summer. This is perfect for romantasy readers that love magic, Beauty and the Beast vibes, spice, enemies-to-lovers, and arranged marriages.

  • Fast Drafting processes and tips.

  • Defining success for ourselves.

  • Manifestation and mindset.

  • So. Many. Feelings.

  • Courtney makes a beautiful story-to-life analogy, and Gabi just makes a story-to-food analogy.

  • The real secret sauce ingredient.

  • Newsletter exclusives.

  • A secret for season two.

  • The ultimate snackdown, in which the duo talks about food for fifteen minutes and then everything turns into gratitude.
