Misti D. Mosteller always wanted to be a writer, but decided to go the easy route and went to law school instead. She has spent the last fifteen years practicing law and raising her young family, but in her "free" time (time when she should have been lawyering, mothering, or grocery shopping) she began her first novel, The Fat Rules. The Fat Rules is not meant to be War & Peace, there are no vampires, and it is not set in the apocalyptic future where teenagers rule (though she totally digs those kinds of books). It is based on her very real experiences as a fat chick in college and is part memoir, part wishful thinking. It's meant to be funny and silly, and above all else, heartbreakingly honest.

I'm as surprised as anyone that I could write a whole book with a beginning, middle, and end. I'm mostly known for finishing off a bottle of wine or loaf of bread, not major projects that take time and focus. Oh, and at some point you have to stick a fork in it and call it a day or you could work on the same story for eternity. Also, hire an editor. Maybe should have led with that last one. (less)

Reviews: The Good, the Bad, and the Seriously Shitty

The hardest part of writing a book is not the writing, it's the releasing. Sure, you have to make yourself sit and write, you have to read it over and over, you may even get stuck on a plot point or two, but all of that pales in comparison to the act of sending it out into the world to be judged.  Once birthed into the ether it is vulnerable to attack, you are vulnerable to attack.

“I was one of those girls that were repeatedly told, “You have such a pretty face.” (I suspected that was said to every fat girl.) Translation: If I weren’t so fat, I’d be pretty. Gratzi!”
