Jennifer writes,


Came across this book and site recently and have a fangirl question. I wouldn’t say I’m an obsessive fan, but when I fan over something I love it intensely and deeply and blog about it all day. When they’re celebrities and there’s a fan meet, I feel a real need to meet them. For the last 3 years, about once a year, I’ve been buying tickets overseas to attend fan

This book pulled me out of a reading slump, and I absolutely tore through it. Loved diving into the drama of swim culture--who knew it was so interesting? This is a book about humans doing human things and what it takes to shift out of the functionin ...more

“...story is a powerful stimulant with tremendous influence over how we think and act. Like meth, only safer.”
Kathleen Smith, The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal

“I watch television like it's a spectator sport. I laugh, I scream, I cry. I even jump up and down. Then I get on the computer and do it all over again with a group of people who totaly get it.”
Kathleen Smith, The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal

“Many would be surprised to find that there is a whole world of woemen and girls who dedicate a significant portion of theri energy and emotions into the concept of story found in countless genres. These woman are often left out when you limit your definition of fangirl to geek or musik culture.
This book is a tribute to my fiction-loving tribe. It's for the law student who unearths strength from the strut of a TV attorney. For the mother who unwinds with a glass of wine and a little bit of zombie apocalypse. For the teenage rwho points to a novel's heroine and says, "Yes. I'll have more of that please." To the woman and girls who get that forming online friendships isn't a symptom of isolation from reality but an opportunity to from commmon bonds that will cheer us through our victories and comfort us when life gets rough.”
Kathleen Smith, The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal

“I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.”
Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
Ray Bradbury

“For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

“I watch television like it's a spectator sport. I laugh, I scream, I cry. I even jump up and down. Then I get on the computer and do it all over again with a group of people who totaly get it.”
Kathleen Smith, The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal
