Marissa chats with Betsy Cornwell about her YA historical Jane Eyre sequel - READER, I MURDERED HIM - as well as recognizing that you can't be at your peek creativity and productivity all the time, and how to lower your standards for yourself when you need to; why some books change with age, experience, and perspective; practical steps for developing a sequel or spin-off from an existing story; tips for emulating an authentic historical voice, while also giving yourself permission to write in your own personal style without the pressure to sound like anybody else; how writing through a time of personal trial and vulnerability can lend itself to some of our best work; and lots of inspiring talk about Betsy's passion project - an art residency program for single parent artists - along with some wonderful advice for single parents pursuing a creative dream.\\xa0
