You know there’s imposter syndrome and then there’s the imposter. And I am the imposter. I have a MS and am a total lab rat. I have no business writing outside of my field. Yet here I am. I approach it like science though. I will happily admit I don’t know anything and continue to study it anyway.

Yes, frequently. I really can’t write as much as others on a daily basis. I need to sit and stew on it a bit.
