02: Authors, Comparison Will Ruin Your Career

from Writing with Coach McCoach Hosted by Katie McCoach

We all know comparison is bad, and yet, writers are notorious for comparing themselves to other writers and published, successful authors. In this episode, Katie lays on the truth: comparison is based in lies. You will literally never be in sync with someone else's writing experience, so comparing yourself is a losing game. There is no possible way two experiences will ever be the same. And yet, comparison can teach you things. You'll learn how to diagnose what's really the root of your jealousy, anger, and frustration when you compare yourself to someone else, AND you'll discover how to use comparison as inspiration instead.
