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.

#21: Can Fiction Writing Be Effortless?
If you’ve spent any time writing fiction, you might be laughing at the idea of it being effortless.
After all, there is:
Writer’s block.
The struggle to find the right words.
The frustration of making stories come alive.
Fiction writing is hard, right?
That’s the perception I had—until I came across the book Effortless by Greg McKeown. His ideas challenged me. Could writing really feel less like a battle?
To be clear: effortless doesn’t mean easy or lazy. But too often, we make fiction writing harder than it needs to be.
In my latest podcast episode, I dive into this wild concept: What if fiction writing could actually feel... effortless?
Let’s rethink the struggle.
