In this episode, I discuss the feelings of self-doubt that all creative people experience — whether you're a writer, artist, musician, or maker. I share my personal struggles with self-doubt as I get ready to release my first nonfiction book and how I've desensitized myself to self-doubt when it comes to my fiction. I explain why we feel self-doubt in the first place and my tried-and-true methods for getting past self-doubt, gaining more confidence, and managing creative fears long-term.
