Blast from the Past

A Brief Pep Talk Amid Economic Panic

Originally published on October 18, 2008

Giving our attention to the news media these days is bound to have anyone feeling a little quivery with fear. For writers — the majority of whom aren’t in a position of comfortable wealth in which to easily ride out the turbulence — these times can be especially worrisome.
