A few weeks ago, I wrote about gratitude. Now, I’m using it on my author journey to keep imposter syndrome from derailing my progress. Rather than an obstacle to overcome, I see it as a discomfort I’ll have to get used to if I want to keep plowing ahead. But how? Read about some of my most cringe-worthy social media experiences, and the six ways I’ve been reminding myself to stay grateful through this initial period of growth.

Everyone knows the term "dystopia.” And to be fair, there is a lot of crossover between my upcoming novel and an imagined society living under corrupt rule, oppression, dehumanization, and suffering. But what if that corruption doesn’t look like suffering, but comfort? Only an outcast would be able to see how truly horrible such a society can be.
