I am a bad feminist and a good woman. I am trying to become better in how I think and say and do - without abandoning what makes me human.

The more successful I get, the more I am reminded that in the minds of a great many people I will never be anything more than my body. No matter what I accomplish, I will be fat, first and foremost.

Feminism is definitely a part of everything I do.

I write because I love doing it.

Whiteness is not the default in my fiction.

So often feminism is built up as this thing where you have to be perfect. You have to be consistent and you can't ever deviate. That's just not realistic.

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