Don't worry about being a fraud. You question yourself. That is a good honest place to begin, explore from. I haven't written fiction or poetry in so long, I feel like a fraud writing this much. But we have to start somewhere, however imperfectly. Lately, I've been reading Lucia Berlin, a writer who you could say tortured herself with questions about her own authenticity. What a messy life, but she never let that stop her.

i just saw your comment, thank you. Yeah, I have come to that lately. Who cares, just do what you enjoy doing no need to over complicate. I am mostly just journaling at the moment. I will check out Lucia Berlin.
