Rosie Fiore is an editor, mentor, the author of eight novels and a tutor on both our <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/novel-writing-course\/\">Novel Writing Course<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/ultimate-novel-writing-programme\/\">Ultimate Novel Writing Programme<\/a>. Here, she shares her top tips for banishing impostor syndrome for good&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you answer that dreaded question, \u201cWhat do you do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m an author.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a writer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m an aspiring writer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m trying to write.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI write a bit in my spare time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be difficult to name ourselves as writers: to take pride in our work and our achievements and to keep our courage up. Writing is lonely and tough, and sometimes it\u2019s hard to persuade yourself to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a writer, I bear the scars of failure and indifference, and I\u2019ve done my share of staring into the long dark night of the soul. I\u2019ve also mentored hundreds of writers who face the fear every day. So, here are five things I tell them (and try to tell myself).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. There is no magic threshold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s that insistent little voice in your head saying? Mine says things like: \u201cCall yourself a writer? You haven\u2019t published anything \/ finished anything \/ written anything good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started running, the same voice told me I couldn\u2019t call myself a runner because I hadn\u2019t run a marathon \/ half marathon \/ 10k, and I wasn\u2019t very fast. I am here to tell you that this is nonsense, in both cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course I&#8217;m a runner, even though I am only running a slow few miles. And if you\u2019re writing, you\u2019re a writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re doing the work. It isn\u2019t an exclusive club. You\u2019re not aspiring, unpublished or trying. You\u2019re a writer. Own it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Get yourself some cheerleaders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, your courage will fail you. You will look at the words on the page (or the lack thereof) and think that you can\u2019t do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need someone else to tell you that you can. Maybe that will be your significant other \/ mum \/ child\/ best friend. But if not, you need writing buddies &#8211; so find your people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join a writing group, in person or online. Do a course. Look on the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hp372.keap-link017.com\/v2\/click\/2fe8a10501ee9107af9412ef87020438\/eJyNkM0KwjAQhN9lz2IkFW17K6VIqPYgepbQLjT-JCHdWkT67qZVelLwujPzDbNPINRSk6gghtoGaw4zcFgqq1BTajTJchSDVbRa8Blclb5snGktxM9v2UkfrnwRjiF6WPSewz5Jc1FsTltR5N5rpfMl_4DWy5BH4QTKdonYQt__JONNUXb38AZici0Omyrld9HRXYcSItvEjJ3RqbI2nVOErpmX5sbIdLo2bYPMc6S1qKvPG3J8vGn9C23jZQs=\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jericho Writers Townhouse<\/a><\/strong>. Other writers will cheer you on, and by supporting them in return you will learn and gain so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Back yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, this one is difficult. I did a playwriting course once and the teacher, John Donnelly (a fantastic playwright), said these two words. \u201cBack yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mind instantly rebelled and that insistent little voice spoke up. \u201cYou\u2019re rubbish,\u201d it said. \u201cLazy, undisciplined, not very good. Why would anyone back you, least of all yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow do you talk to yourself?\u201d John asked, as if he could hear my inner voice. \u201cWould you talk to anyone else like that? Don\u2019t speak like that to the person you need most in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a tiny post-it by my desk now that says, \u201cBack yourself.\u201d And when the ugly voice surfaces, I try to remember to look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Celebrate the small wins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrate the big wins. Hell, celebrate ALL the wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You finished a draft? Take a walk in the park. You revised that tricky scene? Cup of tea and a biscuit. Someone asked for a full manuscript? Well, that\u2019s worth a dinner with friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a special dance I perform every 10,000 words (my family loves it and doesn\u2019t roll their eyes, honest!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait for some mythical future date when you achieve all your goals. Try to make every step of the process joyful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Bum in chair, fingers on keyboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If doubt creeps in, keep going. If you think it\u2019s rubbish, keep going. If you want to scrap it all and give up, keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing silences that insistent, ugly inner voice like the clatter of typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople saying: \u201cIt can\u2019t be done,\u201d are always being interrupted by somebody doing it.\u201d \u2013&nbsp;<em>Puck<\/em>&nbsp;magazine, 1903.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you struggle to silence the voice in your head that asks: &#8216;Who are you to call yourself a writer?&#8217; or &#8216;Who d&#8217;you think you are, spending precious time on a project that&#8217;s bound to go nowhere?&#8217;&nbsp;You&#8217;re far from alone.
