I like what the internet offers: the ability to get people interested in your mind, and have a chance if you're not conventionally attractive.

I live in the middle of nowhere and I'm an insomniac. I just make the time and I read and write really fast so that makes a lot possible for me. I wish I had an explanation for it. I'm grateful for it.

I think hunger is a natural state of being for most people. I mean, hunger is a desire - and you don't only have physical hunger, you have emotional hunger. A lot of my hungers are, in fact, emotional. I think a lot of fat people's hungers are emotional. There are things we very much want, and it can be so difficult to satisfy those hungers. Yet we try. We try so hard.

I am mortified by my music choices.

With my writing, I generally just pretend that no one's reading it. I allow myself that delusion so that I can write the things that I write.

If people cannot be flawed in fiction there's no place left for us to be human.

So many of us are reaching out, hoping someone out there will grab our hands and remind us we are not as alone as we fear.
