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.

#18: How to Know What to Quit, When, and How
Have you heard the saying, "Mama didn't raise no quitter?"
I think we all grow up hearing, “Don’t be a quitter!” But what if there were times and circumstances when quitting was a good thing?
The truth is, you most likely have too much on your plate. But "quitting” a project takes courage.
I’m going to give you tools you can use to decide when it's time to quit and how to do it in the right way.
In this episode, I cover:
- How to change your mindset about quitting
- How to handle the fear of letting others down
- How to eliminate a commitment in a positive way
Living your most confident writing life means knowing when to quit—and how to quit.
Listen to this week's episode as I take you into how to be a confident quitter while still honoring others.
