She has the time, and her parents are now paying the bills for her. It stinks to be the "responsible" one. Not asking Mommy and Daddy to pay MY bills because I'm an adult and it's really not fair to them. <br /><br />So, I'm teaching and tutoring writing full time, anxious for "my time!" <br /><br />I get what you mean by the envy. I have friends who have published, and I swear that I could write better stuff than them, but here I am still unpublished.<br /><br />I love the mantra: My time WILL come. :) <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts.

But I ha...Yes, I have felt that green-eyed monster! But I have found that you can tame him. I have been lucky to have been a part of a wonderful writing community based in the Doylestown, PA, area, headed by the Liars Club of Philadelphia. Their guiding principle is that writers helping writers raises us all together, and we will all get farther together than separately. Over the years, I have seen this to be true--it has been true for me and for others. So even though that green-eyed monster still pokes me sometimes, on the whole I have reached a place where I can be genuinely pleased for those who find success, and not feel like it's taking anything away from me. And let me tell you, that's a much happier place to live in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
