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.

#39: [ENCORE EPISODE] Rethink Your Mornings
This week, I’m bringing back an encore episode of one of the most practical and encouraging topics we’ve covered: my morning routine.
Now, let me start by acknowledging—you might not be a morning person. And that’s perfectly fine! When Hal Elrod released his book The Miracle Morning, he found that 75% of his readers were self-proclaimed not-morning people. Yet, once they discovered the possibilities of a mindful, intentional start to the day, everything changed.
I’m not here to convince you to suddenly become a morning person. But I am here to share how building a simple, meaningful routine completely shifted my life as an author. After spending my teen and young adult years without structure, creating a morning rhythm has been transformational for both my writing and personal growth.
Whether you're a morning person or not, you’ll find practical takeaways in this encore episode that can help you build consistency and confidence.
