for the longest time, I didn't call myself a writer, even now so hesitatingly. it feels like I am keeping a tag that is not mine to keep. I loved reading this and nodding along <3
I love that poem! And congrats on the Hedgebrook residency--I have always wanted to go but my imposter feels have discouraged me from even applying. I do find it strangely heartening to hear that this feeling is shared even among the writers in residence, though! Thanks for the post, definitely needed to hear this today.
