I used her work when I was a career counselor at a university -- boy did it hit home! I still remember when my much-admired drama teacher in high school (who I thought was the MOST talented person I'd ever known) admitted to feeling like an imposter. It made a big impact on me to hear him, of all people, say that. It still helps me to this day to know how common that feeling is, if the amazing Mr. Gould felt it! :) I love Valerie Young!

I am always wondering when people are going to "find me out," or realize I have had the wool pulled over their eyes this whole time. I keep writing though - good or bad. I will be giving some thought to the words that describe me - perhaps I might convince myself I'm not a fake after all! Thanks for a great post! Lisa Yes, I totally relate to Maya Angelou’s qoute!

I've had lots of stops and starts in my writing career and since having 3 children become the "writer who doesn't write". I feel like a poser all the time. It's reassuring somehow that even published writers experience self doubt. Thanks for sharing. Thank you for your book, it’s very well-organized, informative and motivating!
