Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

Before the arrival of my first son, I gave up on the moribund business of magazine publishing, where I had long dreamed of a career, and went to work in advertising. That I could be paid great money to write was incredibly hard to believe.

Nov 07, 2020

Writing takes gall. I like to think that's true even for writers with several books under their belt, writers who have been doing it for years. It takes something - guts, gumption, self-delusion - to ask for a reader's time when we all know there's nothing new under the sun; that it's all been said, or written, before.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I always like it when writers posit writing as an act of empathy. It's such a grand turn of phrase, such a noble ideal; empathy is so worth aiming for in life that the same must hold true in art. But personally, I can't think too deeply about that when I'm working, or I'd never get anything down on the page.

Enough
|
Nov 07, 2020

The cultural conversation around privilege has grown vibrant enough that the ultimate privilege is to just ignore it altogether. Some decry this conversation as pernicious. I don't agree.

Nov 07, 2020

If writing really is empathy, then understanding your place in society might actually help you achieve it.

Beautiful
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a square. I always wanted the standard-issue American dream: beautiful home, loving husband, couple of kids. I met another square, and we got married; a year later, we had a baby; three years later, had another.

Fashion
|
Nov 07, 2020

We have all come from a woman in some fashion.

Nov 07, 2020

Subtlety doesn't work with kids.

Long
|
Nov 07, 2020

For a long time, I thought that I was an enlightened parent by virtue of being an enlightened person. What a fool.

Lesson
|
Nov 07, 2020

The culture looms much larger than you do as a parent, and one can hardly rely on the culture to impart the lesson that womanhood is valuable.

Law
|
Nov 07, 2020

Children are weird. I was going to say 'most children,' but I think this a rare universal law.

Literature
|
Nov 07, 2020

Children's literature - the product of adult guesswork - often fails to account for its audience's slippery grasp on the world.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

Truly smart people and truly smart dressers share one thing in common: They make it look easy.

Parenting
|
Nov 07, 2020

With respect to parenting, biological age is not, for men, the concern it is for women.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

Parenting is love, sure, but it's as much about receiving love as it is giving it. Parenthood is a kind of vanity.

Men
|
Nov 07, 2020

Vanity is a sensitive subject for gay men.

Elton
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't want the staggeringly wealthy Elton John and his family to represent the standard of gay fatherhood any more than straight people want the stunningly beautiful Angelina Jolie and her family to represent the standard of heterosexual parenthood. Stars are outliers; stars are exceptions.

Nov 07, 2020

Is deciding what you like an instinct, a sense that arrives as swiftly as my autoimmune response to cat dander? Or is it the result of reasoned consideration, the way wine tasters swish pinot noir around in their mouths, spit it out, and reach for complex metaphors about chocolate and tobacco?

Damn
|
Nov 07, 2020

Everyone on Twitter - everyone on the Internet - seems so damn certain. Brevity doesn't allow for nuance, and it's a nice complement to confidence.

Phones
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am not anti-Internet, and I don't think smart phones are a social ill.
