And one that's rarely addressed. I've spent some time in the envy wallow, and the worst part was, the waste of energy. Writers are like rockets. We only have so much fuel each day. It's vital to spend that fuel on writing. Ultimately, another writer's success doesn't matter, because I can't control that. All I can do is do the best work I can, and then work hard to get it in front of people. Good point, Jeff. And one that's rarely addressed.

Not in a Luddism sort of way, but in a way that can make you feel like everyone else in the world has a leg up on the aspiring writer. The whole of it can turn you into a validation junkie who checks emails, tweets, facebook status updates and blog comments all day long. When do you find time to write? It's the instant gratification aspect that makes it so dangerous--while striving for feedback on meta-writing, you don't get anything done on the writing itself. Thanks for the big shot of perspective. The internet is insidious.
