100% this. Comparison is the thief of joy, esp when it comes to writing/publishing journeys. Much better to really celebrate EVERY win you have as a writer, whether that be winning a competition, getting an agent etc. Quite honestly, completing an actual novel deserves a bottle of champagne, IMO...

I don't know many things, but I do know that comparing yourself and your writing journey to another author and their journey is the fastest route to Misery town. I had to train myself to stop comparing, I don't always manage it, but when I do it always makes me so unhappy. Eyes on the road ahead 🖤
