is something that I frequently crave. I wrestle constantly with doubts about my own ability--especially when I suffer through writing sessions like the one I had this morning, when I sit in front of the computer and tear at my hair and wonder, what on earth made me think that I could ever string three sentences together?

And then, just to balance out the agony, I get an unexpected boost by something like this post by

vanityfair, which is rather like being unexpectedly given a giant box of dark chocolate truffles, lovingly wrapped in gold paper and tied with a gold ribbon bow, just for me. When all I've had to eat for a week is gruel. It feels marvelous, so marvelous that the shock is almost too much to bear.

But I could get used to it, I think.

Thanks, Aja.
