Yes Debbie! It's like being upset you never won a Bram Stoker Award for horror, when what you write is women's fiction. Kind of funny when you think about it.

Sometimes I forget to appreciate what I've accomplished or to remember that my journey will not be the same as others -- and that's okay.

I feel it's only fair to spout wisdom acquired from my own foibles. Who knew so any others could relate? Thanks so much for ordering my books, Gina!

Valerie I bet you can look like you have everything you want too if you limit your
slice of happy life to 140 characters. Try it!

So many authentically shared stories in response to your post so I'll keep mine short. Yes...I have experiences the Green-eyed monster when it comes to writing. Your advice: "Trust that your hard work will attract its own opportunity," is now one of my new incantations I speak aloud to slay the monster when it appears. My father, may he rest in peace, told me from age 7 "What we focus on expands." That's why I maintain an arsenal of positive, relevantly-focused incantations. Finally, given your success (I clicked on your links and found your books on Amazon), I'm very much appreciate that you've so openly shared your struggle with The Monster on this post. Thank you. I just ordered your books and very much look forward to reading them.

So I appreciate this post and it's good to know it's human and I'm not alone - and also how to move beyond it!

Carol I'm sorry I was tapping on my phone. I do not want you to eat wishes—unless of course that works for you. 😉 I meant "best" wishes.

I can see what you mean, Kathryn. Perhaps "growing up" was not the correct phrase. I was thinking that often we are like kids in the playground wanting to outdo each other.
