Yeah, I know, it can be tough to see even the most well-deserved colleagues climb the bestseller charts when you are struggling to find an agent or even knock out a first draft. I get it. Writer's Envy is real, but it can also be motivating.

There are opportunities out there for hardworking writers and your success will not limit my chances. So the best way to deal is to celebrate the success of others and use your own envy and big feelings to drive your work.

In this episode of Simply Write w/Polly, we talk about managing Writer's Envy and making it work for you.

And, thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the first episode of Season 2, Simply Write w/Polly. The podcast has been on for a year now thanks to you. Thanks for listening each week and being a part of our growing Simply Write w/Polly community. I've already got some fabulous authors booked for the year ahead and I can't wait to share their insights with you, as well as more tips, thoughts, and ideas about the writer's craft and crafting a writer's life.

Thanks for being here.
