Don’t get jealous. This one is hard. Jealousy is probably the easiest emotion to feel when you’re a writer. You see people older than you (or even younger, I see you Ben Brooks) doing cool stuff and you want to do it, too. But instead of writing more and more, you seethe more and more and put another burrito into the microwave. Don’t do this…! (Processed burritos are bad for you).
