| All writers need to beware the Green-eyed Monster. |
Here I am a born-again Christian, a published author,
full-time writer, writing coach and group leader, speaker and teacher at
writer’s conferences. I can look you in the eye and say, with all sincerity, I
am living my dream. The dream God gave me.
And yet, there are times—way too many times—when
jealousy and envy clench my heart. I’m scheduled to teach one class at a
writer’s conference and hear a fellow writer will be teaching two. Why her and
not me? I’m published and she’s not.
I’m working to get my second book published and I hear
where someone has signed a three-year contract for nine books. To quote Charlie
Brown, “AAUGH!”
