How to Handle Writer Jealousy from A Writer’s Path

I feel like I run into “Writer Jealousy” every time I see the new releases for the month from Goodreads. All the potential, the shiny new covers, the rave reviews and people who “can’t wait to read the book”…and mine aren’t out there yet. I’m still in the unknown, unpublished (more or less) camp. So I wanted to share this great article featured on “A Writer’s Path.” Enjoy!

by Kate M. Colby We’ve all been there. Your classmate’s story is praised in workshop, while yours is torn apart. “Poorly written” romances dominate best-seller lists, while your science fiction novel languishes in Amazon’s 2,000,000 ranking spot. The author you follow on Instagram posts their third cover reveal this year, while you struggle to finish your manuscript.
