🎙️ Burned out, blocked, or just plain done? Let’s talk about it.
In this episode of The Author Next Door, hosts Cassie Newell and Angela Haas sit down with author and creative wellness advocate Holly Line to unpack the very real (and very sneaky) experience of writer burnout.
Together, we explore:
What burnout really looks like for writers (hint: it’s not just exhaustion)
The emotional toll of self-imposed deadlines and constant output
How to recognize the warning signs before you hit a wall 🚧
The joy of writing what you love, even if it’s not market-perfect
How creative rest can actually fuel your writing career long-term
This episode is a warm, honest reminder that your worth isn’t tied to your word count—and that sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step back and breathe.
