Loralee- This is such a great post on Imposter Syndrome. I love your actionable suggestions. One thing that always helps me when I feel like I'm getting out of my comfort zone is to remember that there's another zone between comfort and whatever we want to call the zone of fear/ panic/ feeling illegitimate, and that's what I think of as the learning zone. It's in that space where I feel we really stretch our capacities, and when we realize that there is some turf between the end of the comfort zone and the beginning of the panic zone, we start to re-draw our comfort zone as more spacious. So great that you wrote about this!
I figure it's better than not attempting anything at all--and 20 minutes is about enough time to get into a flow and before I know it, an hour has passed.

Thank you for that reframe, Ann! Absolutely helpful; thanks for sharing.
Good luck with the book proposal, breaking it down into 20 minute chunks sounds like a good way to go
