I enjoy stories about thin women - I read them frequently. I enjoy them; I root for those characters, but I always feel like there are enough of them out there and there are enough of them in the spotlight.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel for the overly thin women as I do for the overweight women.
It is my nature to thin where others read.
I don't have a problem with the stories saying I'm skinny at all.
Most mainstream male fiction is littered with heroines, and female characters are basically so great, you want to fall in love with them.
I find women as writers and as characters are operating within narrow confines. They inherit a kind of ghetto of the soul. I'm trying to enlarge the spectrum.
The pressure on women to be thin is like a plague. I have gone through my life, like a lot of women, rating my experiences on the basis of, 'Was I thin at that time or fat?' And it doesn't seem to let up.
I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.
I like female characters that are strong in their own right and not because the author said so.
I love stories about women.
I'm a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.
