I’d like to ask writers, authors, and creatives in general – have you ever felt like an imposter – a fake who does not belong?
It was all the way back in 2016 that I wrote Don’t let Imposter Syndrome stop you and we’ve talked about imposter syndrome a bunch since then. One of the ways to fight imposter syndrome is to realise that you are not alone.
A lot of us feel like that.
If you have ever felt like an imposter – someone who did not earn the success they have – I would very much like to hear your story of feeling like a fake.

@writers Repeatedly. The feeling I am a fake haunts me on the regular.
