Sizing Up the Competition

I lurk on a writers board where a few of the posters are subtly competitive with the other writers. Every time I read their posts, I can’t help but feel bummed out. A) Because they’re quite successful writers and b) because it makes me think that this is a dog-eat-dog industry, and that writers work against each other to get to the top. So…there is a question in here somewhere…have you found this to be true? And if so, how have you dealt with it?
The ever-helpful Allison Winn Scotch discusses the issue of professional jealousy, which all writers experience at some time or another (don’t lie.) Don’t deny it–address it and see if you can make it work for you.
