Dear Agony Editor,
I am an author with a nemesis. I know her through publishing circles, but she’s completely unaware of how much space she occupies in my head. I follow her on social media, I Google her repeatedly, and I constantly compare myself to her, secretly annoyed that she’s more successful than me. I can’t explain the hold she has over me, only that my imagined competition with her consumes me at times. Is this healthy? Petty? Weird? Or all three?
