Being a writer means that you'll never have a shortage of criticism, whether it is offered up to you in heaping scoops of vitriol from faceless masses on the internet, or you gather it yourself from your never ending well of neurotic self-doubt. Hooray. Add "being a woman" into the equation and your cup overfloweth. Fortunately, we writers are rational beings and so we give as much credence to positive comments as we do negative ones. JUST KIDDING.

As writers, words are our friends. Our best times are when they flow from us with beauty or power. They can sometimes trip us up, too, though, when we overthink them. A thesaurus can be very helpful when you're stuck for a good word, or when you want to avoid using the same word excessively in the same paragraph. It can sometimes take a nasty while to create a sentence when there's only one word available that you can think of to convey what you want to say or project.

Hearst's Kate Lewis can easily rattle off the company's Instagram stats. Half the company's brands have more than 1 million followers. Harper's Bazaar has 3 million. But when it comes to their brand's Snapchat handles outside of the Discover section, Lewis, Hearst's svp and editorial director of digital media, hesitates.

In recent days, I've gotten to know beekeepers in Rhode Island, dental hygienists in New Jersey and Wiccans in Tennessee. I've seen gardeners swapping fertilizer advice, flight attendants complaining about annoying passengers and fishermen arguing about which lures are best for catching muskies. I now know that there are hundreds of people who love creating memes about "The Sopranos," and thousands who believe, with total conviction, that the Earth is flat.

When our cherry tomatoes blush red each summer, my son eagerly plucks them from the vine and pops them in his mouth. He points at random plants and proudly declares, "That one's mine!" And occasionally, he yells in panic as the hose from the rain barrel overflows his tiny watering can.

This might sound like a philosophical question, but with the explosion in content and entertainment offerings such as social media and freemium games, we are rapidly approaching a state of peak attention. I define peak attention as the moment where the competition for our attention reaches a saturated point — when there is no more time to spare and something else must miss out.
