Hey nerds!

Hey nerds! Im #DM -ing a #dnd5e campaign for the first time. We're on session 10 and i still feel like a total noob. How do I stop feeling like I have no idea what I'm doing?
My players are super excited to come back to the table every time, but I still feel like I'm not doing enough to plan for what might happen and therefore make it coherent and interesting for them.
I dont have a lot of time to sit and plan (freelancer running my own business from home) and I try to "lazy dm", but most sessions, I feel like I am relying on lessons learned in yr 8 drama class about improv, and then having retroactively change my whole idea about what is happening in the world because I made up something daft in the moment and now that is canon for the story in my players minds.
Is this normal? Am I doing this right?
Seriously, DMs and #GameMaster 's who have been doing this for years... I salute you!

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk I’ve been gamemastering for like … 15+ years and this tracks. It’s all improv, plans are only useful for the planning, and you never really shake the Imposter Syndrome of not producing massive cinematic experiences. You will never stop feeling like you’re juggling several leaky bags of marbles. But if they’re excited to come back you’re doing good.
