The Confident Fiction Author
Hey there my fellow author, I’m Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, an old soul kind of writer living my dream as a full-time author and authorprenuer.
But I didn’t start out living a confident creative lifestyle. I struggled with the fears and the mental and emotional barriers that so often plague writers at all stages of their author career.
But the truth is that, with the right knowledge, tools, and training, you can overcome those barriers. I’m here to teach you how I’ve developed a lifestyle that’s allowed me to publish 19 books (and counting).
Each week as you tune into the Confident Fiction Author podcast, you’ll get clarity on the steps you need to take to advance your writing career. Whether it’s developing your ideal writing routine, tackling new skills like dictating your fiction, or overcoming the obstacles life throws your way, this podcast will help you live a more confident, creative lifestyle.

#15: Decluttering Your Author Life to Make Room for Creativity
What if I told you the key to doing more is actually doing less?
You may be struggling to find time to sit down and write… or you may feel scattered and distracted when you do sit down to write. Maybe you’ve carved out time through other methods like time blocking, but you find yourself simply too drained to be productive.
If so, it’s time to take practical action to help you reduce stress, fatigue, and overwhelm. I want you to live your best creative life with more time and energy for writing and things like hobbies, rest, friends and family, and of course, writing!
Let’s talk decluttering your time and your physical and digital spaces.
Decluttering is trendy—so trendy it can even seem like a fad. But in our modern world, where our attention is more divided than ever, conscious decluttering isn’t just a fad — it’s a necessity to protect our creative energy for our lifestyle.
Today I'm introducing ways to:
Declutter your time by reducing social media, number of projects, and multitasking & busyness, all while making a plan to fill those spaces with what you actually want to do.
Declutter your spaces - computers, phones, writing zones, and your environment all play a role in how you show up to write.
