I've always wanted to be a writer. I've been writing since I was probably four years old - it was nonsense, but it was still my little attempts at being a storyteller.

The notion that I should be fine with the status quo even if I am not wholly affected by the status quo is repulsive.

Feminism is definitely a part of everything I do.

I am human. I am messy. I'm not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I'm right. I am just trying - trying to support what I believe in, trying to do some good in this world, trying to make some noise with my writing while also being myself.

I would love to see more acknowledgement of how challenging it is to feel positive about fatness when you can't find clothing. When there literally is not something made for your body. Nobody ever talks about that; all those fat girl clothes swaps and stuff are for a very specific kind of fat girl. If I was Lane Bryant fat, I would be joyful about fatness.

I never imagined that I would be the kind of person who is recognized when I am out and about just living my life.

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