imposter syndrome – DLT Editorial & Writing Coaching

Why am I not writing?

Monday morning: a client began our session with ‘I know you’re not my therapist, but…’.

That’s right. I am NOT a therapist and nor do I try to be. But sometimes we need to explore the reasons that the writing isn’t happening (maybe now is not the time to write). Or why the words are flowing but just not getting out the door (often the hardest part).

How do I get over the fear of sharing my writing?(Or what if someone’s already written a book about my topic?)

Have you ever noticed that the people who are most critical aren’t the ones out there doing their thing? They’re probably the ones sitting at home scrolling social.

Successful writers know that it’s not about the critics
