Marissa chats with Lizzy Mason about her new YA novel - BETWEEN THE BLISS AND ME - as well as writing song lyrics and how it's not the same thing as writing poetry; tackling ethical dilemmas in your fiction that encourage your readers to ask big questions; using journaling as a method for working through periods of grief; and keeping notes of things you love about the book you're writing and why you were drawn to it in the first place, which will be useful information for your future publicist!
