I'm excited to announce that I've been invited to give a TEDx talk! I'll be speaking about "When You Can't Help Everyone", a topic I've struggled with for years. As many of you know, my dad is a pastor, and raised me to be a "helper" — to serve and put others first,...

I had a very weird, intense thing happen today. So I was working on course marketing at a Starbucks by my house when this drunk older gentleman wandered in and began yelling. He announced he was a Marine vet and that he didn't want to order at the back of the line,...

Not sure how to start podcasting? Or... not sure how to find success once you do? Overwhelmed by marketing, social media, equipment, and more? If you're ready to take your podcasting to the next level (or... you know, ANY level), I'd like to invite you to my free...

Hey friends. Sarah here. I've had a lot of people asking me lately, so I want to officially say: No! The Write Now podcast is not dead! It simply got... a little neglected this year as my life went through some radical changes. Some (most?) of you know that I have a...

I’m doing that One Word exercise that everyone goes crazy about this time of year (i.e., the pre-New Year’s holidays). The concept is that you choose one word to focus on as a mantra, catalyst, intention, and simplifier.

I was just talking to a writer friend about how I’m having so much difficulty writing the finale of Girl In Space. She made a comment along the lines of, “Wow, writer’s block really sucks,” which hit me like a ton of bricks.

Here’s the deal. Sometimes you sit down and what you write is really good. Sometimes you sit down and what you write is really bad. Sometimes you get discouraged and sit down and stare glumly juuuuust to the right of your computer monitor, because you can’t bear the thought of writing.

Hey friends. I’m in a weird place. I’m getting calls from agents. I’m meeting “must-know” people. I’m being invited to speak. It’s really flattering, and my ego is purring like a kitten in a sunbeam.

I’ve been talking for several years about embracing the concept of AGING GRACEFULLY. It’s something I defined and committed to a long time ago — not dying my (now gray) hair, not bemoaning wrinkles, not desperately clinging to youth, but accepting the aging process as natural and — dare I say — good.

Really, REALLY disappointed in the FCC’s decision to kill Net Neutrality. Here’s why, and here’s what we can do.

It was time to rebuild my site, for a number of reasons. I hope you like it!

When I sat down this morning to start writing, I found myself absolutely terrified. Here’s why.

HAPPY LAUNCHDAY to my newest creative project, a sci-fi mystery audio drama called “Girl In Space”!

If you’re a creative professional, HOW DO YOU LIVE without being burned out 99% of the time?

Wow. It's been just one year since I launched the Write Now podcast. I launched with four episodes in iTunes, which I recorded into a borrowed Blue Snowball mic and a $27 piece of audio foam this really nice dude at Guitar Center ripped off of...

How do you know when to stop pushing yourself? (a.k.a. My lifelong struggle.)
