Reguardless of the reason why the conversation happened, I was struggling with imposter syndrome. It irritated my boyfriend. So he proceeded to point out that Mark Twain was not a college graduate. I smiled at him and started listing the authors that had a college degree. Unfortunately most of them we not known during their own lifetime. It got me to think…
What will be history’s thoughts on me? Will I be relagated to some dusty shelf for books that no one reads? Or will I be someone’s favorite author?
The thoughts of the nutcase stuck in Walmart…

Probably. I am good at those.

I’ve often wondered about that myself, and what the future might hold for my literary legacy. I do fear that my work could be left on the shelf, but at least right now I know people who’ve read my work are taking it seriously in that I’ve had 4- and 3-star reviews, not just 5.
