The hope in literature is that we are allowed to be imperfect, to write of our imperfection, without being overly critiqued for being unlikeable.

I'm exposing faultlines, dealing especially with rhetoric. Showing that heterosexuality is a disease, or at least its inheritance.

The memoir by women, read by female readers, is considered a market form, not "great literature."

I think that writing and publishing are different. I think I will always write; I might not always publish. The idea of not publishing is wonderful!

I think so often, especially if the work is perceived of as being drawn from life, the woman, not her book, is reviewed.

I think the online space can be a free space, in that we are not reliant online on the publishing industry or readers who just don't get it.
