More From Alison Gopnik

With 'stardust', i hope what i was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.

First, consider the pen you write with. it should be a fast-writing pen because your thoughts are always much faster than your hand. you don't want to slow up your hand even more with a slow pen. a ballpoint, a pencil, a felt tip, for sure, are slow. go to a stationery store and see what feels good to you. try out different kinds. don't get too fancy and expensive. i mostly use a cheap sheaffer fountain pen, about $1.95.... you want to be able to feel the connection and texture of the pen on paper.

You read a bunch of books and you get a bunch of how-tos, and you take a bunch of classes and you learn a bunch of techniques. you set yourself goals and benchmarks. i think people have imported that into their experience of taking care of children.

I have a two-year-old who just turned three, and my four-year-old just turned five. i have the same irrational feelings taking them to pre-school. it's this charged combination of stress and joy and anxiety and excitement. when they're away, you've got a sudden loss of purpose and this ever-present fear about the kid's welfare. the departure of our children from our nest is not an easy thing.
