Jealousy Isn't Always An Ugly Emotion | BlogHer

Finally, there's writing jealousy. And here, we also need to break it down to:

• Jealousy of someone's success in breaking into paid blogging or paid freelancing in the print or television world.
• Jealousy of someone's writing, oh, my God, their sentences.

Megan of Velveteen Mind writes about wanting to break into magazine writing.

Don't get me wrong, I do love the community.  Some days.  Most days.  But I want more.  Do you? If blogging is my springboard, I need to jump already. What do you want from all of this?  What are you doing about it?  Are you satisfied? I used to want a really cool alternative to keeping a baby book for my kids.  Now I want something for me, too.

While I admit to jealousy of other people's "money" or "fame," which may or may not be real, I get most jealous of other people's sentences, which most certainly ARE REAL.
