Stop trying to escape imposter syndrome and learn to accept it as part of the creative process
Twelve years ago, I left the ashes of my law career behind and, out of desperation, tried to become a writer. After multiple late-night Google searches and countless how-to-make-money-online blog posts and forum threads, I decided I would take a crack at being a copywriter.
While I had slight misgivings about this new career move, I needed cash and didn’t see any other options. I did one of my patented ready-fire-aim maneuvers and started writing for content mills, searching job boards, and signing up for every freelancing platform I could find.
Ever since high school, my teachers and professors had praised my writing. I had read what was already being published on the web, and all of this gave me an unearned confidence that I could figure out copywriting on my own.
Notice what I didn’t have when I was a new, inexperienced, and ignorant writer? Imposter syndrome.
I didn’t know enough to doubt my skills.
