Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her. Instant Karmaby Marissa Meyer In New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her – both good and bad.Ĭhronic overachiever Prudence Daniels is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. What 3 words would you use to describe Instant Karma? It's the sort of job you can do anywhere, at any time, and I love that freedom. Or having writing retreats with a good group of writer friends, drinking wine, and talking shop. Getting some words done first thing in the morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and a cozy blanket.

And I really love what I think of as the 'lifestyle' of being a writer. I love meeting readers and hearing how they've connected with my characters in sometimes really powerful ways. I love creating stories and the problem solving aspect that comes along with figuring out a complicated subplot or plot twist. It's hard to choose just one 'favorite' thing. What's your favorite part of being an author?

I can totally see the two of us competing to be the teacher's pet or top of the class. Prudence is so much like Teen Me that I think it's much more likely we would have been enemies than friends. If you'd met Prudence as a teen, would you have been friends and why? The world is better when we're a little bit more open and accepting, and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. People have different priorities, goals, dreams, interests, ambitions, even principals - and that's okay! It doesn't make them wrong, just like her choices don't always make her right. She hates it when people tell her that, rightfully so.) I would tell Prudence that not everything is black and white, good or bad. Loosen up and have some fun! (JUST KIDDING.

If you could give Prudence one piece of advice, what would it be? She knows what she wants and where she's going, and she's willing to put in the hard work to get there.
