Am I a writer, or am I just writing?
I often get overwhelmed with imposter syndrome - as if I'm playing 'writer/author'.
To overcome this, I recently found some free online courses in literacy. I didn't go to university to spark my interest in writing, I just fell into it, and now it's my dream career.
And I want to gain as much knowledge as possible to help my creative writing, as well as improving my confidence. I have experience, but having a course down will be some knowledge to make me feel more comfortable when I tell people what I do for a living (well, what I do).
You don't NEED formal qualifications to write, but for me, it's helping me overcome doubts that I'm in over my head and chasing the impossible.
I like learning, so I'm happy to gain as much as I can through understanding different aspects of creative writing. If you're interested - check the FutureLearn website.
