Are You Really A Writer??

 



Abbie and I wanted to get this episode out there during NaNoWriMo. I've heard from so many writer who have experienced this feeling: imposter syndrome. Those doubting voices that creep up on us, questioning: "Do we really have what it takes to be a writer? Or are we just kidding ourselves?"

A lot of writers struggle with imposter syndrome – the feeling that you're just "faking it" and not actually a REAL writer. You feel unworthy of praise and almost like you're fooling people into reading your work. Even when you receive positive feedback, you shrink – feeling like you aren't qualified to have such praise lavished on your writing. 

If any of this sounds familiar to you, don't worry: you are not alone. Many authors struggle with this conflict, which is why today Abbie and I are sharing our best tips for overcoming imposter syndrome and feeling confident in your writing.


Have you ever struggled with doubting your writing or creative work? How do you overcome thoughts of doubt? How do you gain confidence as a writer? I would love to hear your thoughts below in the comments, my friend. 🙏💛 I wish you an inspired day.

Stay stoked.

  5. It is hilarious to read these comments after listening to your authentic voices talking about imposter syndrome. Of course these commenters suffer from no delusions.
    But I'll just ignore them and say what I was inspired to before reading the comments.
    Excellent and authentic analysis on something that I believe most creative feel at some time. I had a novel published this year. Not my first novel but the first one I managed to get published. After I held it in my hands overcome with the fruition of a fifty-five year old dream (I'm seventy) I deloped a strong desire to turn back the clock and claw the ms back before it could become this solid thing. What had I done? The good thing about being older is that I knew the feeling of shame and vulnerability would pass. I had a few agonizing nights and told no one - not my fella, not my buds. Just suffered it and came out the other side. I kinda still think that although I love being a writer, the author thing is not so pleasant. Oh well, onto the second. The first one The Crooked Knife began in a NaNoWriMo. I'd already begun the second before November and hoped to add another 25 or so thousand but the plot requires too much wrangling. Progress is slow but good enough! Thanks for popping up in my YouTube feed today. Watched lots of wood being split while the snow falls here in the Canadian north.

  6. I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and the discussions here are truly inspiring. As someone who's passionate about writing, it's refreshing to connect with fellow wordsmiths. On a related note, I'm currently working on my hrm thesis help., and I could use some guidance. The journey has been both challenging and rewarding, but I believe the wisdom of experienced writers can extend beyond the realms of creative writing.
