#ScribesAndMakers - 2 Apr. What does impostor syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it? Your're not good enough, you don't fit, you're just pretending. Stop saying you're a proper author. I had it when I first began writing. I had to give myself a good talking to. It was obvious I must be a genuine author. There is no way publishers would accept shitty MS's. After half a dozen books I think I had that Eureka moment....lol
