1. ...damn, I'm not sure. My ability to question myself? Actually, since clearing up that nasty little clinical depression, I have something like 90-95% faith in my ability to write fiction. I also have a random faith in my ability to avoid and/or survive catastrophes.
1a. Because a)I'm a damn good writer and b)weird shit, good reflexes, and a little training, plus historical evidence.

2. My recognized position as a successful pro fiction author who makes a living doing it.
2a. The awards ceremony audience will laugh politely, and think they have some idea, but they won't. Unless I tell them, a little.
2b. Beat my own damn brain chemistry into submission.

3. The good ones. All of them, really. They virus my brain.
3a. I've got a storytelling gene, and I've kissed the Blarney Stone, and I hate it when I get interrupted partway through telling a story.
