Burnout. It’s the word no self-published author wants to say out loud, but almost every one of us has felt it. Maybe you’ve been there: staring at your manuscript, feeling resentful instead of inspired. Or pushing out content on social media, but dreading every post. Or just wondering if this author dream is worth the grind.
In episode 191 of The HYBRID Author Podcast host Joanne Zara Ellen Morrell, author of young adult fiction, women’s fiction and short non-fiction for authors chats honestly about:
- what burnout is
- why it’s so common in self-publishing
- mindset shifts that might change the game
- practical, energy-saving strategies
- creative recovery practices and
- reframing the writing life.
