Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing

EP 416 - The Irony of a Woefully Inadequate Imposter Syndrome


Listen Later

That pervasive feeling of self-doubt and insecurity you believe you are not deserving of your achievements and fear being exposed as a fraud known as imposter syndrome is especially common among writers and other creatives who often grapple with the vulnerability inherent in sharing their work with the world.

But perhaps your imposter syndrome is actually a positive sign about your progression as a writer.

That's the topic of this solo episode in which Mark reflects upon that.
