It's funny how Imposter Syndrome never quite goes away. For the first entire year I told anyone I was a writer, I felt like I was lying to them and myself. Even a few years in, I have moments where I completely doubt it. I've mostly gotten to a point where I don't feel like I'm deceiving others when I utter the words "I'm a writer," but it's an ongoing struggle. And hitting those benchmarks never quite makes the feeling go away. Thanks for sending this one in, Ragnar! You're definitely a writer.
Also just noticing from your bio that you also identify as an "amateur philosopher." Nice to meet another!
