"Dear Creators"
Join thousands of creators in receiving my free “Dear Creators” newsletter! Every other week, I tackle a different aspect of creativity and how it affects you, from writer’s block to making an income.
The Write Now Podcast
My signature weekly podcast gives you the encouragement, honest advice, and inspiration you need to balance work and life, pursue your passion, and write. (And it’s free!)
Daily Writing Planner
I designed this simple (and free!) printable PDF worksheet to help you prioritize your writing and keep you focused on your craft. It’s here for whenever you need it.
"Girl In Space"
Abandoned on a dying ship in the farthest reaches of known space, a young scientist fights for survival (and patience with the on-board A.I.). Who is she? No one knows. But a lot of dangerous entities really want to find out.
"Omen" Podcast
From Executive Producer Sarah Rhea Werner comes a fantasy audio drama that explores ancient ruins, sails the high seas, and questions whether friendship truly is magic—all while cracking pirate skulls and dabbling in high explosives!
10 Harmful Creative Myths Ebook
In this free 50-page ebook, I dive into the harmful lies we’ve been told about creativity — and take a look at the truths we need to move forward and create our best work.
Speaking
I’m an energetic, passionate, and empowering national speaker with relatable warmth, a unique perspective, and a sense of humor. In addition to a TEDx talk, I’ve spoken at New York Comic Con, Podcast Movement, YouTube headquarters, DC Podfest, and the Austin Film Festival, as well as many local and national leadership seminars, business and tech conferences, and college classrooms.
“Listening to Sarah is like a great session with your therapist who says all the right things to get you back in the chair and writing.”

Enjoy the Journey – WNP 103
Are you enjoying the journey? If you find yourself focused on the end goal, success or waiting to be happy until you finish your long list of projects, you might not be. Today I’m talking about how to find joy on your creative journey.
Protecting Yourself And Your Time
We’ve talked before about...
The Cat’s Out Of The Bag
Yesterday, a friend alerted me to a Deadline article that very casually mentioned several “podcasts in various stages of development to be adapted [for television, including] sci-fi drama Girl In Space.”
What Are You Getting Out Of It?
Usually, when we choose to do...
The Blank Page
When I stare at a blank page, I’m not filling it with words and ideas and phrases and flourishes in my mind. Rather, I’m filling my own mind with doubts and anxieties and second-guesses.
Gratitude In 2020
I feel like, as an adult in the 21st century, I need to be figuratively dining on this perpetual and perfectly proportioned banquet of intentional joy, acceptable grief, and purposeful gratitude. Always back to gratitude.
Daily Journaling – WNP 102
Do you have stacks of beautiful, unused journals? Have you been contemplating a daily journal routine but are hesitant to start? Maybe you’ve tried journaling in the past and hated it. Today I am going to share my experience with journaling and why it is a crucial part of my morning routine.
The Problem With Expectations
Even though we can try to be intentional with them… sometimes our expectations seem to spring up out of nowhere, sparked by unspoken desires or inspired by something as small an innocuous as another person’s Instagram post.
I Can Do A Magic Trick
I can do a magic trick — I can log in to a social media account and make all of my time disappear! I know, it sounds impossible that one or two or even three whole hours could simply vanish while I’m scrolling past photos of lattes and incendiary political tweets, but… it’s true! Can you relate? Are you a magician, too?
I Miss It
I’m not going to say anything new here, or anything that you haven’t felt more or less intensely for yourself. But I miss going out for a really good cup of coffee.
Taking Time Away
I’ve been exhausted and burned out to the point of tears lately, and have had several friends gently suggest that it’s time to not only start taking weekends off, but to possibly schedule off an ENTIRE WEEK.
The Slog – WNP 101
Do you ever get that soggy or stuck feeling while working on a project? The never-ending revisions, the question of, “Why am I doing this?” popping into your head? If this is something you have ever experienced (or are currently dealing with), this episode is for you. I am going to share why this happens and what you can do about it.
“Success” means something different for each and every creator.
For one writer, success means...
I Have No Idea What I’m Doing – WNP 100
It’s the 100th episode of the Write Now podcast! Today I’m asking: Do we place ourselves in an area of our lives where we expect ourselves to know all the answers? Do we bring on stresses over our creative journeys, over things that we expect ourselves to have the solutions for? What would happen if we truly allowed ourselves to admit that we have no idea what we’re doing?
“Writers who want to balance reading, writing, and the rest of life will enjoy this weekly podcast.”
