Marissa chats with Jennifer Lynn Barnes about the conclusion to The Inheritance Games Trilogy - THE FINAL GAMBIT - as well as being flexible with your creative process in order to strike a life-work balance that can change and adapt throughout the various phases of your life; prewriting your scenes in stages when you don't have the mental bandwidth to write them in their entirety; using the similarities between fiction and gossip to make your work compulsively readable; lots of fascinating tips for developing a story using the psychology of fandom (groups, theme parks, and parties, oh my!); auditioning archetypes for your cast of characters, then digging into backstory in order to develop them into fully realized people; and how to pivot into a new genre while maintaining your sense of joy.
