In this episode of the Write it Scared podcast, I interview Cassie Newell, an award-winning YA fantasy author and certified fiction book coach. 

We chat about how we both came to embrace writing later in life, our struggles with perfectionism, and the importance of ideation and story development. 

Cassie shares her journey from struggling with a learning disability to becoming a published author and book coach, detailing the processes and mental shifts that helped her succeed. 

We discuss practical tips to approach story development, manage accountability, and incorporate life experience into writing. 

This episode will help you embrace your unique creative path and find joy in the process!
