When writers read great writing by other writers, do they feel motivated, competitive, envious, or despairing at ever being as good?
Do you think those emotions can be beneficial or harmful to a writer's growth and development?
It really depends on how the writer handles those emotions. Feeling motivated or competitive can drive a writer to improve their skills, while envy or despair can be discouraging. It's important for a writer to recognize their emotions and channel them in a productive way.
