Imposter Syndrome

Now that my first book’s first draft is complete, I’m facing a bit of “imposter syndrome.” What makes me think that I can be an author? Sure, I’ve been a part of research projects (including the written portion). Yet, academic writing is a WHOLE lot different than (I’m not sure what to call it) writing for the public/non-academic writing/plain ‘ole writing. Frankly, academic writing feels a little easier. It’s a little more structured.

With that said, I’ve fallen in love with my pony project. “Dear Myrtle: Letters About Lives with Ponies (Book 1 of The Lucky Pony Society)” is something that I’m very proud of and I can’t believe that I actually completed the first draft…

My dearest hope is that Dear Myrtle appeals to enough people that I can make ***just enough*** money to create Books 2 – 16. I know that there is enough content for 16 books in the series!!!
