And you’re right, the only ones who don’t suffer are the narcissists and the ones who don’t invest a lot of caring in their final product. I loved all the different kinds of imposter syndromes you found!

Always fun to see your posts. 🙂

It’s a great excuse to not query my finished MS. But I also think it’s too short. Not enough words. Maybe no cause and effect. I worked hard to finish and now I’m thinking it just isn’t enough. So yeah. Why should I think I’m a writer?

Wow, that’s SO cool! I speak Russian and can kinda understand Ukrainian and Belarusian (sometimes) and I used to know some Spanish. Mandarin looks so hard. I’ve always been too intimidated to even attempt it!

Thank you so much for 17 years of service to the writing community, and here’s hopes for 17 years more.
Of all the writing blogs I read, yours is my favorite. I love that I can both learn and laugh with you. It is such a wonderful gift.

Seems to be the case for me with Mandarin. I have never studied a tonal language and it is a true challenge! But, when I nail it, when I can speak to a Chinese person and they actually UNDERSTAND ME, it is very gratifying.
