    The last paragraph of this profile got on my LAST nerve. With all the ACTUAL nightmares in the world, for the writer to come up with a paragraph about how horrible it is to decide to be a writer and then be fortunate enough to be published (shored up by Emily Gould's moan)--OMG! The unthinking privilege! And I say that as someone who has written and been published a LOT (in the early days, with your support). It ain't exactly working in a coal mine. All 3 of them need a reality check, you know?

      It is annoying. They’re young. It would have been better maybe to end two paragraphs earlier.
