I've always been an old soul.
From Jami Attenberg
The interesting thing about overeating or being obese is there's this physical manifestation of it.
There are generations of people who don't know how to eat properly.
I'm a really selfish person. But I would do anything for my friends.
As creative people, we should be really conscious of being of service in our work, being as generous as we can.
I didn't go to graduate school, where all the important writers seemed to be getting their start. I didn't pursue getting published in literary magazines. I didn't even send out countless pitch letters and manuscripts to agents.
In 1998, I started a blog, something I could control very easily and update at my own whim.
I always tell people this when they're looking for an agent - they should love your work. You are entitled to work with someone who believes in you. Why do business with someone who is ambivalent about you and your art?
People are branded as either 'fat' or 'skinny' from an early age. You sort of never shake it, even if you end up losing weight.
I think it's nearly impossible to write something fictional without having it be about yourself in some way or another.
