Coping with Creative Burnout with Robin LaFevers - Courting Darkness & Igniting Darkness
Marissa chats with Robin LaFevers about her new historical fantasy duology - COURTING DARKNESS and IGNITING DARKNESS - as well as maintaining historical accuracy in a novel while blending in fantasy elements (and how traveling from place to place just might be a historical writer's worst enemy!); one strategy for writing romance, inspired by screenwriter Michael Hague's concept of "essence" vs. "persona"; how to cope if you're facing creative burnout in 2020; and some ideas for restructuring your life and process in order to mimic a time when writing was fun.Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyerFind out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
