Imposter syndrome is with all of us creatives and others don't help, if you get into a debate or argument and you start winning they then resort to insults and tell you "you are masquerading as an author" because they know you are not financially successful yet. It is fight or flight reaction from them, bullying in a way, but it hurts all the same. Then that scarecrow reminds you of it.

I love that scarecrow village Ching, I really want to see that someday, or create one here. It is an amazing idea.
