Writing Rituals and Gothic Romance - Lyndall Clipstone - Forestfall

Marissa chats with Lyndall Clipstone about her gothic romance duology - LAKESEDGE and FORESTFALL - as well as how the desire to prove oneself can be an excellent motivator; using special rituals in order to separate yourself from the "real world" and immerse yourself in the setting and feel of your novel; reconceptualizing a stand-alone book into a duology by expanding on existing plotlines, while making each book fundamentally different in some way; using oracle cards to set your writing intentions and clue yourself into your own personal needs (they might even inspire some new ideas!); using social media not just to engage with readers, but also as a creative outlet; and some great advice from a former editor - including how to guard your unique writing voice, and why you shouldn't save your best ideas for later.
