Personally, I Have Never Wished I Were

In Life We're Most Hell-bent On Proving Things That We're Not Really Sure Are True.

Later On, When I Tried To Imagine How I Might Have Ruined Things, That Would Occur To Me - That I'd So Rarely Resisted, That I Hadn't Made It Hard Enough For Him. Maybe It Was Like Gathering Your Strength And Hurling Your Body Against A Door You Believe To Be Locked, And Then The Door Opens Easily - It Wasn't Locked At All - And You're Standing Looking Into The Room, Trying To Remember What It Was You Thought You Wanted.

I Actually Liked The Disolation Of Winter; It Was The Season When It Was Okay To Be Unhappy. If I Were To Ever Kill Myself, I Thought It Would Be In The Summer.

I've Had People Say Very Dismissive Things About My Books, But I Also Feel Like I Probably Have More Readers Because I'm A Woman. I Mean, More Readers Are Women And More People Who Buy Books Are Women, So I Don't Feel Like It's A Total Disadvantage To Be A Female Writer.

Personally, I Have Never Wished I Were A Male Novelist.
