Now that I have finally published my book, I take a look at the feedback I received from my editor and beta readers, encouraging me. I read positive reviews, or personal messages from readers who have taken the time to contact me, to tell me they enjoyed my writing.
These things reassure me that I am not writing into the dark, that what I write is being appreciated, and is worth it.
Imposter syndrome, how I dislike thee. Have subscribed to this – looks right up my cobblestones alley. 👍🏻
Thanks Jason, and imposter syndrome is literally the worst 🙁 really impacts so many of us creatives.
