I love Twitter. It doesn't keep me from writing and I think it's a really convenient scapegoat when the truth is that the real issue is self-control. I am totally fine admitting i have none. I'm not going to blame Twitter for affecting my writing. And also, Twitter doesn't affect my writing.

I don't know that anyone in the United States is taught to rest.

The other day, I saw a blog post where a woman wrote about why she was unfollowing me and that made me feel incredibly self-conscious and embarrassed about my tweets. I also feel more exposed now that I've become a more visible writer but then I try to get over all that and just use Twitter the way I want.

I don't ever rest. It's a problem and hopefully something I will get a better handle on in the coming years.

I approach most things in life with a dangerous level of confidence to balance my generally low self-esteem.

Violence is a common part of far too many women's lives.

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.
