Thanks for the advice. Maybe some writers are also afraid they will get stuck at writing a series which only their readers will like, and they would have lots of burn-outs.

Imposter syndrome? Adam Savage of Mythbusters was the first mention I ever heard of this. He told of a man named Neil who was attending some big scientific convention who felt he wasn't good enough to belong there among the giants in the industry, even though his last name was...
Armstrong. Yes, that one. First man to walk on the moon, felt like he didn't deserve to walk into a scientific conference.

I think people are frightened of success, ie, what do I do if it’s a best-seller? Or maybe it’s just simply low self-esteem; I know in my case it is…a timely video. Thanks, Stephanie, and Happy New Year!

My thing is the topic of my book is so abstract from my personal career that I don’t want people to think I’m a relationship coach. I’m just doing what God told me to do and I wanna left alone about it when it’s done but it’s my baby… I’m conflicted 😩

Have you got ideas for a non fiction book? I work in the birth work field and writing a book about postpartum recovery. Getting stuck on the specifics and what is actually essential for publishing
I want to self publish and it's also going to be illustrated so do I need someone who can format all that or does it just upload onto KDP

Oh big time. Am I healed enough 🤔 and do I have what it takes? Can I write? Can I create something that people want to read?

This was not the 'next video' for how to upload to Amazon, as the 'previous video' stated.
