And the envy... it's so strange to be thrilled for someone, yet completely jealous too! I try to always keep in mind that writing and the publishing process are a journey and no two journeys will be the same.

Once I signed with my agent, I thought that they would leave me, but they return whenever I see a new deal in Pub Marketplace. I like your ideas for how to get over them, though. :)Pam Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872183610393667619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21099449.post-71652118994313804752011-02-18T15:29:17.805-05:002011-02-18T15:29:17.805-05:00I'm loving this series Caroline.

It reminds me of when you automatically hate someone else just because she has perfect hair or is rich or something, and then when you get to know her you <i>can't</i> hate her because she's just so cursedly nice. :)Yahong Chihttp://yahongchi.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21099449.post-78028786085735598992011-02-18T12:48:43.998-05:002011-02-18T12:48:43.998-05:00Lovely post, Caroline!

Envy is something that all writers struggle with, no matter what stage they're in -- because there's always somebody who you think has it better than you. These are really great advice to combat the envy monster. :)Emy Shinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109925009902220083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21099449.post-760956868415377392011-02-18T12:18:49.939-05:002011-02-18T12:18:49.939-05:00Fantastic post, Caroline!

Now I don't feel so bad about being envious of other writers...thought I know I mostly am just glad for them.<br /><br />It's also very true what you say about the process. First it's "If I can just get an agent," Then "If I could just go on submission," and "If I could just get a book deal." Think striving in small steps is a good way to go.<br /><br />New follower...glad I found your blog.<br /><br />demitrialunetta.blogspot.comDemitriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597317699857591880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21099449.post-12301565891998879812011-02-18T11:15:56.245-05:002011-02-18T11:15:56.245-05:00Good post CAroline!

Lol. But this is great advice. There's always someone doing better than you, and always someone doing worse. I try to be grateful every day for everything I have, instead of dwelling on what I don't. <br /><br />And yeah, getting to know people who seem to have it made always shows that they worked really hard for it, and suffered their share of disappointments and setbacks. So in the end, their success is an inspiration :)Andrea Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478845861604754432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21099449.post-73042059783322942142011-02-18T10:16:56.566-05:002011-02-18T10:16:56.566-05:00Caroline, this is some of the BEST advice... in wr...Caroline, this is some of the BEST advice... in writing, and in life.
