Marissa chats with Hannah Orenstein about her new romance - MEANT TO BE MINE - as well as how the beloved genre ideals of "fate" and "soul mates" can come with their own problems, and how to leverage those to add believable conflict in your romance; crafting lush settings that will whisk your readers away while also introducing that aspirational lifestyle element that many readers crave; using the outline stage to explore possibilities for various subplots before committing to your final story, and how the path not chosen can be used to create dynamic relationships; why having the right day job can go a long way when it comes to balancing your career with your writing goals; and how the best method for keeping your ideas fresh is to get out there and live your own life.
