Twitter is my happy place. I am not there to overthink 140 characters.

I would like to believe that most people, regardless of gender, are good and kind. The good men in my stories are the rule. It's the bad men that are the exception and because I tend toward the dark in my fiction, you see more of the exception than the rule.

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

It's a very weird cultural perception that if you're fat you're dumb, that you're lazy or a loser. Clearly, those are the preconditions for fatness. You're a failure, because only a lazy person, only a dumb person, would allow themselves to get into this situation. It's appalling that this is the mindset. People generally treat fat people like we don't know anything about anything. It's incredibly demeaning. And incredibly frustrating.

Diversity in literature is, in part, about representation - who is telling the stories and who stories are told about.

I am trying to keep growing and improving as a writer.

My tweeting is cool and calm unless I am riled up about something and then I just surrender to the fury of my fingers.
