break duck given guys might military passing shotgun
Guys think that the military associations of camo are going to make them look tough, as if they might just break out a shotgun and take down a passing duck at any given moment. I'm not so sure.
indeed mean privilege
I am indeed completely nuts, but that doesn't mean I don't care about how I look. Sometimes, I admit, I will privilege appearance over comfort.
hopeful
I am so sick of being exhorted, as a writer, to improve the world by representing it in a more hopeful way.
anonymous art exist explicitly facts giant love vast
What I would love to see is art that explicitly addresses not personal intimacies but anonymous intimacies: the vast collections of facts about you and me that now exist in giant server banks.
guys largely looks masculine mostly partly three
Yes, the hunky barista looks even more terrifically masculine with three days' growth on his chin. Guys under 50 mostly do. But when your beard is partly or largely grey, that stubble can just look a little unwashed. Sadly, when you're over 50, different rules apply.
carefully vulnerable
We are still vulnerable to gender-targeted marketing no matter how carefully we edit our children's bookshelves.
generally men moved
Even in early adulthood, men can't be told what to wear; they can only be subtly moved by example, encouragement, and a generally sophisticated atmosphere.
box tick
There is actually no such thing as an Artist type. 'Artist' is just an economic designation, a box you tick on a form. We are all people, and we are all creative.
class clothing consciousness crucial early etiquette graduate oxford pervasive time
My father was a graduate student at Oxford in the early 1960s, where the conventions and etiquette of clothing were crucial to the pervasive class consciousness of the place and time.
artistic compelling good hindrance mentality possibly wickedness
Personally, I see little distinction between an artistic mentality and criminality. You couldn't possibly create a compelling story without some wickedness or some fascination with the disgusting. Being good is a hindrance to a writer.
generally history involves minor music portion singer songs tiny
Only a tiny portion of music history involves a singer and a lyric. Songs in music are generally thought to be a minor form.
freedom
There's a freedom being in the air. It's a lot of fun.
believe timeless wearing
Sadly, I don't really believe in the idea of timeless fashion. It's an oxymoron. If 'classic fashion' really never changed, we'd all still be wearing togas.
adult age category entirely group looking readers seems ya
The YA category is an entirely new one, and seems to have more to do with readability than with age group or theme. The adult YA readers I know do actually consistently say that they are looking for an easy read, a fun read, an unchallenging read.
