Does imposter syndrome affect everyone? Or is my brain just being difficult?

After at least ten years of struggling (see 33 for a better reference), I think I finally started to put myself on the right trajectory.

I love helping people write. I love writing. I love watching a lightbulb go off when someone realizes that their writing is worth something to someone.

Needless to say, because of these things, I decided to put together my first published work. My prompts book is something that when I lay those facts out in front of myself I’m proud of.

The thought that the 220-page book I put together will possibly help someone find their dream is a thought I love. I just want to be able to aid others in finding solace in writing.

Now… What’s Next?

The book is finished. It has been a part of KDP for nearly a week now.

The question remains, how do I make this book sell?
