Oh yea. Fortunately I am just happy to get my words onto the page and have a few readers, but I can definitely see the constant desire for more fame and attention. I love when others read what I write. I can only imagine what it would be like once you get a taste of a larger audience. Similar to money, when you've got very little, enough to live and pay for your life, but it's not that important. Once you get enough to buy many of the finer things in life, and it becomes a competition, that's when it digs its claws in you.

Wow! This made me pause and reflect on my own writing life/career. Have I been a self-created victim of regret, rather than appreciating what I have accomplished?

Thank you, Lev. I needed this today (and probably tomorrow, as well).
