In this episode, author–editor Rennie Dyball gets wonderfully candid about crossing genres and the imposter feelings that flare whenever she switches lanes, the craft mantra that unlocked her fiction, and how time in the saddle quiets her brain so ideas can land on the drive home. We dig into why picture books are deceptively hard, plus practical, ADHD-friendly focus tricks (short timers, one-task sprints, writing anywhere). Rennie also shares what’s new and what’s next, including a neurodivergent-friendly field guide and a spicy equestrian romance under a pen name. It’s an energizing, nuts-and-bolts conversation about creativity, confidence, and building a body of work across forms.
