Okay, so this happened again. And here I thought I was sooo over it.

The Imposter Syndrome?

Self-doubt in the worst way! This time it almost wanted me to quit writing, but alors; What would I do instead?

I genuinely think that writing has both made me a better person and also saved me in more ways than one.

Here are some facts about me:

• I used to be a very skilled violin and viola player. But 13 years ago, my shaking was too bad for me to continue
• I always go all in at the beginning of things and give up when I don't reach the results I’m looking for.
• The two times I haven't done so is with my music, and now with writing!

Commitment And Liability

I look at my writing with both pride and with a pinch of fear. The fear part is ofc Imposter Syndrome. But I also know my things well, and I wouldn’t go out on a limb and publish something I wouldn’t stand for. That is one of the few rules I have for my writing.

And I am committed, oh so committed. I mean, not many writers can show a productivity rate…
