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.

#54: Are Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back as an Author?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever told yourself, "I'm just not techy enough to dictate my fiction," this episode is for you.
I'm digging into the limiting beliefs that keep fiction authors from even getting started with dictation. We're talking about the overwhelm of too many tool options, the trap of searching for the perfect tool before you ever try one, and the real reason getting started with dictating fiction feels so hard.
(Spoiler: the best dictation tool out there is the one you actually use.)

And speaking of getting started — my next Dictation Bootcamp kicks off April 27th, and this round is all about the tools!
We're spending three full days working through dictating on your phone, your computer, and the record-and-transcribe method — one day at a time, so no one gets left behind. Plus a bonus pre-party day and a masterclass to wrap it all up.
If the tools of dictation have ever felt intimidating, this is your starting point.
The Dictation Bootcamp is just $37.
