How I navigate Impostor Syndrome as a writer ~ a writer's life ~ writing vlog ~ slow writing vlog

Welcome to my writing vlog. I’ve been writing for years and it's an endless source of comfort. I take inspiration from nature, slow living, and travel. I talk about my childhood in Nigeria and how that inspired my writing and books. Watch my musings and see what inspires me as a writer and how I live.

Wow as a writer and multi award winning poet of more than two decades, I am so glad that I just found your channel and I agree wholeheartedly with content. In order for me to write well, I have to read well ie literature diet and watching my genre intake. Imposter Syndrome for me is a constant shadow, the carriage of internal mayhem allowed to grow organically from vine to vine or as it is chapter to chapter. I discovered quite intensely that in order for me to think well, overall I walk up to 40 kilometres plus per week. Walking clears the mental cobwebs and for the most part solidifies some mind bending creative narrative. So much so I have to jot thoughts down as soon as I am back home in the front door. As well I find your writing room very inspiring. I live for walking, reading, writing. I don’t smoke or vape, detest the thought of gambling my hard earned dosh and found alcohol once upon a time to be a total thief of creativity and bore. Work on what you believe in. Believe in your work. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yvette, 😊

Hello Yvette, Walking does clear the mind and nature in general. I'm surprised more people aren't out in nature jotting ideas down. Sadly reading has also declined steadily and it's heartbreaking to see. Thank you for such lovely compliments 😊

I also started writing on my first book ever! I've been reading books for some time now and found the idea of creating and writing your own book very interesting but what's been keeping me from actually doing it, was that I'm not very good with words, or atleast I thought so. Sure, when you're talking to someone in person, ,you don't get to sit there and think of what sounds best, you just say it, and I'm not going to write some gut wrenching poetry in a KZbin comment section, but when I started writing for the book, I found that I greatly underestimated myself. I'm not half as bad as I thought I was. It's really sad that our insecurities often keep us from discovering new parts of ourselves
