This sentence -- this one right here -- is the first sentence I’ve written in two months that wasn’t co-authored in a Google Doc. It’s the first sentence, outside of e-mails and tweets and notes I’ve written to myself, that has my name (and only my name) on both its front and back ends -- the first sentence I can look at and say with certainty, “I wrote that entire thing without help and without anyone else watching it get written.”
