I was so intimidated by being included into one of my edited collections that I couldn’t write a word for days. And now that the collection is about to come out, turns out that the external readers say that my article is the best of the whole thing. This is especially funny given that the collection is not one one of the subjects that are among my research interests and I had only applied for it on a total lark.
Impostor syndrome is such a waste of time. I’m just not going to do it any more.
