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.

Why Doing “Nothing” is Productive for Your Fiction Writing
When was the last time you did nothing?
I’m not talking about scrolling your phone or checking emails while waiting in line. I mean really doing nothing—just letting your mind wander.
Some years ago, I came across a quote from an entrepreneur who advised you to, “Take one hour a day where you do absolutely nothing but sit and think.”
There’s something powerful in that.
In this episode of The Confident Fiction Author podcast, I’m sharing why stepping away might be exactly what you need to move forward in your writing, and how doing less can actually unlock more.
It’s not about laziness. It’s about giving your creative brain space to do its best work.
P.S. This episode contains a big announcement about the podcast! Tune in for details.
