Adore this. What an uplifting post!

I often tell my fellow indie romance author friends that the reason we sometimes feel like imposters—or like we’re getting away with something—is because we often exist in IRL spaces where not many people do what we do or entrepreneur the way we do.

On top of that, we’re off the outline that the system we were born into created for our demographic. Instead of working perfectly nice (but usu. non-creative) jobs with corporate health insurance (if we're lucky) and a schedule, sick days, and vacation time dictated by some corporate overlord, we’re doing… this.

Of course, that's going to make us feel some kind of way.

I loved this post for the reminder that we’re awesome at what we do, and there’s no shame in planting ourselves in that truth while we continue to grow.

Seriously, thank you.
