| Introduction | I am a fiction and nonfiction writer, and my first book is a collection of stories called HOW TO SURVIVE GRADUATE SCHOOL & OTHER DISASTERS. I spend a good deal of my time teaching English and creative writing classes at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
I would describe my body as curvy, and I refuse to call myself fat or complain about my curves—I love them and so does my husband. I have created this blog for a number of reasons—see the link to my manifesto above—but also more simply to document my weight while I try to lose weight without dieting. For those of you interested in tracking my progress, I started at 203 glorious pounds. READER'S TIP: This blog is updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays. |
