But I am fighting the fear every day. This is how

We are living in an information overload society. If you are a content-creator and want people to see your creations, you have to scream. And the higher you scream the more likely someone will hear you. So, take a deep breath and make it rip.

Why I’m scared of Promoting

Buckle up for a deep-dive into the nooks and crannies of my dark mind.

Introvert

I am one of those that have been comfortable with the social distancing under the Covid-19 pandemic. I don’t love huge crowds, and I hate being in the limelight more than I absolutely have to. I suspect I’m not the only introvert author/blogger out there.

Imposter syndrome

Also called fraud syndrome. It’s a prevailing doubt in myself and my talents, and an inherent terror of being exposed as a fraud. I get physical reactions (sweating, hyperventilating, and palpitation) every time I press the green publish-button. If you only knew how many revisions I go through… (And still, you can’t get it right 😞)

I hate it when people push articles on me
