Her book is so imaginative (really, we haven’t read anything like this) that we got curious about Laini and how she works. Instead of a Q&A, she obliged us with a photo diary of her typical writing day. Not only did we find out how the author (who has an awesomely bright hair color, just like her protagonist!) writes, we discovered what adorable motivation waits for her at home.
