One of my books
is selling REALLY well.
This increase in sales is great.
I’m grateful for it.
I know how lucky I am.
But these sales
also come with costs.
I’m dealing with professional jealousy,
next book pressures,
crazy hate mail,
stalkers,
even death threats.
I can’t talk about these issues
with strangers
or even casual friends
because they’ll think
I’m ungrateful or arrogant.
I have the success they’re working toward.
Why am I complaining?
Thankfully, I belong to
a group of five writers,
the writers on the world domination plan.
We’re all at roughly the same level
and we’re dealing with the same issues.
When I brought up my challenges,
they all chimed in,
relieved that they no longer had to deal alone.
Success is a team sport
and that is even more important
as you become more and more successful.
