I am mortified by my music choices.

I love writing fiction because I can totally lose myself and I get to make up the rules of the world that I'm writing.

Writing, at its best and truest, can offer solace and salvation for both readers and writers.

I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.

When I write on Twitter, I do other things: I'm working, grading, or reading, and I'm procrastinating, and I'll pop on Twitter and be like, "Hey, what's up? Yogurt's delicious."

When you can’t find someone to follow, you have to find a way to lead by example.

What is it like to be connected to someone you can never get away from, for better or worse? I love trying to answer that question.
