Beat your imposter syndrome and self-doubt on your personal Hero’s Journey

You probably know the Hero’s Journey popularized by Joseph Campbell, the basic structure for many beloved stories. A hero gets called to action, enters an unknown world, faces challenges and temptations, fails, learns what they need to change, applies said new insights, et voilà: success.

I just realized you can apply this to your imposter syndrome and self-doubt. Many of you feel (or fear) you don’t have the skills to bring your big, new project to an end. I’m here to tell you: you don’t need to.

The hero at the beginning of the story doesn’t have what it takes to bring their journey to a successful end. It’s the journey itself that transforms the character into someone who has what it takes to finish it. The character at the end of the journey is not the same as the character at the beginning of the journey.

So start ambitious projects that you feel underqualified for. It’s not imposter syndrome or writer’s block. You're in the challenges and temptations phase of your journey. Don’t let them hold you back. Let them transform you. Identify the skills you need to acquire to make your journey into a success. Learn. Practise. You’re not “not good enough”—you’re on your Hero’s Journey and you’re on the threshold of your transformation phase.

(I told my husband about this idea and he played Don't stop believin' by Journey. Per-fection.)

If this helped you, you might want to take a look at the rest of my writing advice.

Now go tackle your dream!

New character concept, a half demon(tiefling for you D&D folks) named Bedlam, I chose four arms instead of horns and cloven feet instead of a tail, he's a thief/rogue . Lately after I draw a character I've been enjoying drawing them in what I call my "children's book style" but it's basically chibi lol

hipstergnome - Hipster Gnome

we are playing a homebrew one off ttrpg adventure this Saturday for one of our player's birthday. We combined the two most chaotic energy races that reminded us of them, goblins and kobolds and called the Koblins; and we determined a group of Koblins is called an Ope; so here is the Ope for the adventure, no names yet, but classes are: fighter, rogue, barbarian, sorcerer, bard, ranger, druid and warlock; no inteligence based classes lol just chaos monkies. we are all gonna roll randomly to see which character we get, so i tried to draw them as androgynous as possible because i don tknow whos getting whom. so i tried to draw extra wide hips or curves to give feminine but since they are also kobold dna in them they are reptile so no breasteses just smooth bois and the tails vary from short to long and horns vary, they kinda look like tiefling goblins but i tried to draw some reptilian features as well

Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

Photoshop’s new terms of service require users to grant Adobe access to their active projects for “content moderation” and other purposes pic.twitter.com/weRjMfWvxx

Here it is. If you are a professional, if you are under NDA with your clients, if you are a creative, a lawyer, a doctor or anyone who works with proprietary files - it is time to cancel Adobe, delete all the apps and programs. Adobe can not be trusted. pic.twitter.com/LFnBbDKWLC
