Readers need to stop assuming characters are white if race isn't explicitly defined.

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

I can't please everyone. I am trying not to let the pressure consume me.

Good fiction challenges us as much as it entertains and these days, we could do with both of these things.

You have to be consistent. You have to be yourself. You have to be committed to what you're doing. You have to not be afraid to be ambitious.

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.

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