Brilliant!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And may I say, #reading this gave me a little jolt of self recognition as a fellow #writer with a vicious #innercritic 😄

Make sure that you enjoy the FULL 2 HOURS before #impostercomplex kicks in again...!

Oh, I think I wrote something* that's actually not the worst thing that's ever been written** 🥳. What a relief*** after months of writing dross!

*it's definitely something
**okay - that's an exaggeration, but it's not been sparkling
***I'll probably change my mind in about two hours

Are the people laughing at you #writers?

I'd be the first to admit one gets sick of #reading through a #manuscript again and again.

But sometimes it's nice to #read a #published #story and think, "Wow, I wrote that" - esp if you suffer from an ongoing case of #impostercomplex as I do 🤷🏽

Have been laughed at by so many people in the last 24 hours because I’m reading my own book. But I’ve only ever read it to write, revise, edit, fact check, and proofread — not to just read it. Pleasantly surprised that it’s not terrible, with two more chapter to go.

And then lying awake at 3 am worrying about whether you actually got it right.

Or if it even *sounds* right... 🤷🏽‍♀️

That's we love the #writinglife.

It's the certainty of it.

The absence of #selfdoubt.

The absolute confidence in your own skill wrt #writing...

You ARE good at animal facts.

You may also however be at risk of losing your mind quickly from all this self-questioning 😃

Ok I can do it I can write entertainingly written and interesting eel facts. I can. I definitely can. I am good at this kind of thing? I am good at animal facts? I am not slowly losing my mind?

I know there are people who admire my strengths but it only makes me feel like a fraud. #impostercomplex
