Sometimes we feel worthless and unlovable — and we have no idea how to change how we feel.
Sarah’s Blog: 2015 In Books
2015 was going to be the year that I read a book a week. (NOTICE THAT I SAID “WAS”.) 🙂 When I set the goal of 52 books in January 2015, I had not yet launched the Write Now podcast (that launched in February) and I had no idea what the year would bring,...
Sarah’s Blog: Glad To Be Back.
Hey there, friends. I returned from my mission trip to Jamaica a couple days ago, and wow, was it amazing. And heartbreaking. And right back around to amazing again. I held hands and spoke and danced with the elderly and sick at an infirmary. I had a great time...
Sarah’s Blog: The Season of No
I’m kicking off what I’m calling my Season of No, in which I stop saying yes to every single little thing that people ask me to do.
Sarah’s Blog: You Shall Know The Truth.
And maybe set you free. There’s a long and storied history of the links between truth & beauty, creativity & madness, and art & catharsis. I’ve said before that I believe that writers are the penultimate truth-tellers. But telling the truth...
Sarah’s Blog: Write your own story.
Write your own story. I think that a lot of writers start out this way: We read and read and read… and ultimately get frustrated that we’re limited to the role of participant. That we can’t make the characters behave in the way we want them to. That...
Sarah’s Blog: Worth it.
Worth it. I had an idea in April 2013 for a podcast. It would help writers who struggled with busy lives to follow their dreams and make the time to write. In April 2013, I didn’t have the time to create a podcast, let alone the knowledge I’d need (wait,...

Announcing Coffee Break, a sister podcast to the Write Now podcast! Sometimes you need a coffee break, to clear your head, breathe, and find inspiration. I’m hoping that Coffee Break will help provide that for you. (Though you’ll have to provide your own...
Coming Soon
WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO LATELY, you ask? Well. Here’s a bit of a hint. ::waggles eyebrows:: (not creepily) xoxo, Sarah
Sarah’s Blog: Mission Statement in Three Parts
Hey friends. In this morning’s Click Rain staff meeting, my good friend Paul encouraged and challenged us to develop a personal mission statement, and to set goals for personal success. I’m a pretty T.M.I. person in general, so I’m sharing it with...
Puppets of Fate
“Tell the orchestra for God’s sake to keep on playing. Dance, you jazz-mad puppets of fate, and pay no attention to me. I’m all right. Wounded? Nay, sire, I’m healthy. Oh, I’m great.” — Dorothy Parker, “The...
Writing from a place of anger.
At one time in my life, I was a very angry person. Anyone who knows me will probably laugh or roll their eyes at that statement. Because I’m happy now. I’ve changed a lot. I’ve moved to a new place. I’ve changed jobs, and I am now working...
The Writing Season.
So… why did I decide to call my blog “The Writing Season”? I am a writer. I am a writer. That is, I identify as a writer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I know, in the core of my soul, that I was made to write. Perhaps you feel the same way. But I...
