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.

#23: Take a Break: How to Rest as an Author
Remember the days when places of business were closed on Sundays? That was in my lifetime. In the days before pay at the pump when you had better make sure your tank was on full Saturday because the gas stations were closed on Sundays.
Even now in the small country town where I live, some businesses are closed on Sunday, including the hardware store and even restaurants.
Sunday was once that standard day every week when, as a society, we truly rested. We enjoyed a quiet walk, a mid-afternoon nap. Just not do much of anything, like the country music song says in “What I Love about Sundays.”
Are we better or worse for not taking every Sunday off to rest our bodies and our brains?
In this week’s podcast episode, we’ll explore the answer to that question together. I cover how rest makes us more creative, then I get specific with solutions for how you, as an author, can get rest in a non-stop world.
Here’s to recapturing a little more Sundays in your life so you can live your best creative lifestyle!
