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.

Living in a rural town really compelled me to start tweeting so much. Mostly, my Twitter usage is fueled by loneliness. I can go days without talking to another human being unless it's my mother, especially when I'm not teaching or on break.

I love romantic comedies. I know how terrible they are, but I love them! And I don't think that makes me less of a feminist.

We assume whiteness is the default because whiteness, historically, has been the default. This is one of the many reasons diverse representation matters so much. We need to change the default.

I see my tweets as a current joining a bunch of other currents in the world's craziest ocean.

Writing has always allowed me to escape. I was a very lonely child. Because I was very socially awkward, I would always have trouble making friends. And so reading and writing allowed me to have friends and to have an active imaginary life that really sort of kept me sane.

Whiteness is not the default in my fiction.
