Curvy writers, unite! There are many words to describe us, and sincerely,
we don’t like any of them. But let’s embrace our rolls and remember there’s a
reason why God and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups made us this way. And celebrate
it – with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, of course.
Here are five reasons curvy women make great writers: 1- Pressure – We understand pressure and can handle tight…deadlines. Only someone who, inside a Macy’s fitting room, has pushed her love handles into a MiracleSuit swimsuit or wears one-size-too-small Spanx to a cousin’s wedding knows what I’m talking about.
2- Conflict – You want conflict? We’ll give you conflict. To be yourself in Western society and be happy with your figure can be a conflict in itself. Some people don’t understand it. Others envy it. Or sometimes you are completely uncomfortable with your curvy writer status yourself. You try to tip the scale a bit, bargaining with it. Oh! The pain, the guilt, the possibilities. You have conflict in every single inch, and since you have more inches than a skinny writer does, you obviously are packed with more conflict.
3- Time management – When skinny writers are busy working out, cycling, running, swimming and all that nonsense, we can use that time to write.
4-Creativity – We are great at creating excuses. Some sample expressions we know and love: “This dress makes my ass look like a planet,” “It’s the Pill,” “It’s my PCOS medicine,” “I’m PMSing,” “I’m pregnant,” “I just had a terrible breakup/horrible argument with my boss,” “I had bag of chips within my reach.” We always look for a great way to explain why we are the way we are.
There you go! Let’s celebrate ourselves, and we’ll chat again about that reality show.
Until next time, take care! ;)
