Marissa chats with Leigh Bardugo about her new fantasy novel - RULE OF WOLVES - as well as how it's okay to feel like we're in over our heads with our writing projects, and how these challenges can be a sign that you're on the right path; lots of wonderful craft-talk, including tips on developing backstories, coming up with that just-right metaphor, and writing death scenes that stir up real emotions (hint: melodrama is not the enemy); how social media can impact our mental well-being and that it's okay to pull back when you need to; and - drum roll please! - the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Shadow and Bone!
