My writing has always been considered extremely important, even though I make slim-to-no money at it.

With fiction, the works of women are often over-interpreted as autobiography, especially when the main character is a woman, especially if she is seen as privileged.

I'm just too lazy. I wish I could be someone that has wild affairs - all of my favorite nonfiction novels are about these wild affairs and postmarital agonistes - but to be honest, I'm someone that doesn't deal well with instability.

On the whole, most biographies about literary women tend to diagnose them.

I am home because I am a writer, but sometimes, when I'm not productive (productivity: the expectations of capitalism), I feel like a terrible housewife, or a sick person.

I don't think men experience the embargo on channeling the autobiography in their literature.

I have almost never been compared to male writers in any review. All women.
