This week on the Conglomerate, @smdanler and guest contributor Rachel Schwartzmann consider panic’s influence on the page.
Danler’s craft essay, “In Praise of Panic,” appears in the Fall 2023 issue.

ALT Image depicts a quote from Stephanie Danler with white text set against a blue background: "Once you learn to respect panic, you can differentiate between fever and fear. Those two are telling you everything you need to know about timing. Ideas are the fever. It’s a heat, a feeling gestured to when they say, 'write about something that keeps you up at night,' or 'write what you can’t forget' or any of that bullshit. That fever is true, and it’s panic-inducing."
