Impostor
Jemma knew it was Impostor Syndrome: a lack of self-confidence and doubt about her abilities and achievements. Even though she knew she had this, it didn’t stop her from never feeling good enough. No matter how much hard work she put into her writing, she never felt she deserved the praise she received. She always expected to be exposed as a charlatan.

Excellent usage of the prompt. Not an easy word to use in 61 words and create something of this level.

Thanks. I did have to think about it, but then decided to talk about my own issues.

This was sad ;o; I don’t quite feel that way but I can see how this could effect writers. Believe in yourself Jemma!

We all feel that way I think, then when some says ‘hey, this is good’, like this piece here, maybe we think we might be okay.
