I wish I had the luxury of time to read and write like grad students do. That sounds pretty awesome. When I was writing my first book one of my friends was going to grad school at the same time and I heard a lot of stories about drinking, too. I feel like everyone was having affairs.

I love reading books that you can't put down, and they just take you over for a night or a weekend.

Wouldn't that be nice if we could all afford to just freely pursue our dreams?

Please make me either relatable or terrible.

I wish I could write while I'm on the road but it never works for me. I need to be sitting still.

The fascinating thing about food is that if you have issues with it, you have to face it every single day.

Most of my writer friends are women, and they're all extremely talented, so of course I think the state of contemporary fiction for women is pretty great. Which is to say there is a ton of amazing work out there. These women are writing hard. There's much to be said. We're on it, chief.
