I decided to hold forth in a video in the very real fear us authors feel about imposter syndrome.
I just finished the latest revision of my young adult novel, No Small Thing, and I’ve been thinking about how I handle the imposter syndrome. So many of us face the feeling that somehow, we deluded ourselves into doing this thing, when we really don’t have the talent or the chops. I have four ways to put that BS on the shelf.
- One, ignore the hype.
- Two, find the source of your faith.
- Three, get back to work.
- And four, remember those who love you. They believe in you. You’re the real deal.
Want deets? Listen to the video.
As one of your many fans, I have to say this video is more than fabulous— so upbeat and positive — Elizabeth Gilbert would be impressed!
Guess who I got that positivity from? 😉
