I like the part where you try to explain what you found to other people that kind of almost translation or explanation part of the writing. For things like the news letter, i think about an outline, and i'll like to sketch out sort of some points. And then i will just write it all the way through and then go back and add a bit. I am not a very good speller or grammar person, or really any of those things.
Emily Oster is an economist, professor, and author. Her new book is The Family Firm.
”[COVID] has been 18 months of being a person who is slightly more public, who is saying things that are somewhat more controversial, where people yell at me a lot. ... I do much less reading of the comments than I did early on because I found that eventually I just got mad and that's not a productive way to interact. And it affects how I think about what I write, and I would like what I write to be the things that I think are true, not the things I think will avoid people being angry.”
