To those suffering from imposter syndrome. Writing is the only thing that makes you a writer. You don't need a degree. You don't need an agent. You don't need to be published. It doesn't matter if no one has ever read what you've written. It can take a long time to get that recognition.

Doing is becoming. You do, until you are. It's that simple. Nothing meaningful happens fast.
