FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Aidee Ladnier: Let’s talk about ways to combat insecurity and imposter syndrome – when you accomplish great things but still think that you don’t deserve the accolades. That someone will find out you’re not as great as they think you are, in other words a fraud. It’s basically a mental insecurity issue. I was wondering if other writers (because a lot of writers suffer from this) had any coping mechanisms to deal with it. Join the chat
