Episode 91—Yes, I’m The Great Pretender: Navigating the Creative Challenges of Imposter Syndrome in Writing.

Section One: THE WRITERS’ ROOM. In this section, we explore writing problems and struggles by answering your questions.

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter syndrome is when you feel you’re not good enough at something, even if you’re actually doing well. It’s like having a little voice in your head that tells you that you’re pretending to be good at something, and that everyone will find out you’re not as skilled as they think.

The term impostor phenomenon was introduced by Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A. Imes.
