I'm writing an article

[howsmyenglish]

Impostor syndrome, inferiority complex and the sheer conviction that I do not have anything original and worthy to share with the world slowly but steadily leave my universe. I'm writing an article for my former prof. Of course, the greatest thing of all is that it is also going to be part of my dissertation, and that thinking about it helped me to figure out the third out of three major chapters of it, but. I'm writing an article for my former prof and I picked the subject myself, because I really think that it might interest him. And I only rarely look at what I'm writing and think "oh god, let no one ever read this". Deadline is August 30th. I intend to make it. Way to go, I!

I feel the same way sometimes. Sometimes, I feel like my journal isn't even worth updating anymore. I feel like people get tired of me rambling on about the same topics, interests, and hobbies I usually go on about.

What's your article going to be about? Best of luck writing and finishing before the deadline. You can do this! :)

Hey, thanks! :)
It's... not very exciting: about how a certain author uses Buddhist stories as parables to advocate conversion...

It's great that the article is helping you with your structure! :)

The feelings you describe are sadly typical for academia and rarely go away even after someone becomes successful. :( Hang in there! ::hugs::

this is my first punctuation-mark-person ever, it might be daft, but it's jumping up and down!
