Marissa chats with Elise Bryant about her debut contemporary romance - HAPPILY EVER AFTERS - as well as Elise's journey back to writing after a long hiatus; creating a protagonist who is also a writer and all the real-life challenges we can draw from; how we never quite get over the dread of being critiqued; and the awful yet oh-so-universal impostor syndrome, especially for those of us who just want to write "silly" things - and how those silly things are actually really important!
