Why, Yes, I DO have a LOT to get done today!

This Is The Combination To Aunt Jane’s Safe

This is how I used to look at life a couple of months ago before my writing fell almost to zero.

My Impostor Syndrome Can Beat Your Impostor Syndrome.

Not long ago, I wrote that my impostor syndrome as a writer could beat your impostor syndrome. Here Previously, I talked about my Impostor Syndrome here and here and in the beginning here. In my quixotic search for the cause of my health condition, I have discovered the final frontier of impostorism. Why is a diagnosis so elusive? I am not the only impostor here.
