🎙️ Can you really “balance it all” as a writer or is that just a myth?

In this episode of The Author Next Door, Angela Haas and Cassie Newell dive into the messy middle of writing life: juggling deadlines, real-life responsibilities, creative energy, and the need to just breathe.

We unpack:

What balance actually looks like (hint: it’s not perfect)

Time management strategies that actually work for writers

Why saying no is a powerful creative tool

The connection between burnout and productivity guilt

Tools we love (and a few we’ve tossed out) for managing creative chaos

The importance of rest, routines, and protecting your writing time like it matters because it does ✍️

This episode is a heart-to-heart for anyone trying to write their next book and keep their life from falling apart in the process.

👇 What’s one boundary you’ve set (or want to set) to protect your writing time?
