I’m tiptoeing into a new project. And because I haven’t added anything to the draft in two days, I’m experiencing that panicked sensation of “what if the words don’t come today?”
What if I fail? What if today’s the day I’m exposed as the imposter I am?
Well, those feelings are exactly why I must get to work in order to disrupt that fear and show it to the door. To quote (in translation) Gabriel García Márquez:
“Necessity has the face of a dog.”
I must do what needs to be done. But, don’t worry, Emma. I’m fairly confident neither of us will be harmed during the writing of those words.

Aw, lovely Emma! She’s probably just thinking about her next meal. 😀

She does spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about food, but I’m in a glass house on that one! 🙂

Well I hope that your words come and do you really have imposter syndrome? You sure don’t seem the type as I sense so much confidence and humble comfort in your seasoned writing?

I’m happy to report the words did come. As for the imposter syndrome, I think your assessment is correct in general but I’m currently trying to sign on with an agent and the querying process is riddled with rejection. It’s pretty brutal, so right now I’m a little less confident than usual. But the good news is that those feelings come and go. Thank you for your kind words. 🙂

Oh the agent search can be so deflating and it puzzles me to be honest
