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.)

You can also listen to this episode on FictionCourses.com, or search for The Confident Fiction Author podcast on your favorite podcast app (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more).

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.
