Now I’ve done it: I signed up for an author event at my local library for early April. About 30 local authors will be there. My wife showed me the flyer as something we could check out as patrons, but then I had to go ahead and sign up as a author. Now, I’m dreading it. I ask myself why I think I belong with these other “real” authors. I’ve read that “imposter syndrome” is common among writers. I have it bad. Most of my life I have moved towards this path, but making it real is a different thing. I’m my own worst enemy, but I keep pushing forward. Imposter or not, I will be there, smiling, talking about my books and doing everything I can to conceal how uncomfortable I am. JD’s bunker is looking better each day.
