Episode 35: Why Doing “Nothing” is Productive for Your Fiction Writing

When was the last time you did nothing?

I’m not talking about scrolling your phone or checking emails while waiting in line. I mean really doing nothing—just letting your mind wander.

There’s something powerful in that.

In this episode of The Confident Fiction Author podcast, I’m sharing why stepping away might be exactly what you need to move forward in your writing, and how doing less can actually unlock more.

It’s not about laziness. It’s about giving your creative brain space to do its best work.
