I feel like it's such an exercise in, like, several things to read a ton of 'Cosmo's or 'Glamour's or whatever, all at once. Because you start realizing how they're just talking about nothing for many pages, and they sort of lull you into this hypnotic state. Megan Amram cosmoexercisefeel share on social
I kind of want everyone to think I'm a crazy person. Megan Amram crazykindperson Change image and share on social
Tweeting is a great way to practice writing jokes, but there is so much more to comedy writing than just jokes. Jokes are a necessity, but you also have to learn how to write characters, to break a story, to keep coherence between episodes. I've learned more by being a TV writer than I ever could've on my own.

I wrote 'Science For Her!' because I found normal, manly science textbooks to be too intense for my small size-0 brain, and I found normal science textbooks to have covers too heavy for my dainty size-0/size-2-with-bloat hands. Megan Amram bloatbraincover share on social
I feel confused about what I'm supposed to be doing as a feminist because I do like fashion, and I do like magazines, too. I buy them on airplanes. I like seeing what hot trends are new this fall. It makes me feel very conflicted a lot of the time. Megan Amram airplanebuyconflict share on social
I love math and science, and also, my mom is a doctor. I grew up not even having an awareness that women were not supposed to be good at science. Megan Amram awarenessdoctorgood Change image and share on social
I feel like plenty of people have normal-seeming families that, as they're growing up, feel awful. I'd rather have one that looks weird from the outside but felt really normal. Megan Amram awfulfamilyfeel Change image and share on social
The enemy of the modern woman is not women who like fashion or are writing about it. The enemy is stereotypes that come from all places and that tell you to be one way or the other. The enemy is really real sexist people, like Todd Akin, and people who are violent against women physically or sexually. Megan Amram akinenemyfashion share on social
My mom and brother are both doctors, and it seems crazy that so many people think science is a mutable idea. Megan Amram brothercrazydoctor Change image and share on social
I have, for a few years, been writing comedy prose - short pieces for my blog - because I found it to be a good way to write while I was on a TV show. It was different enough from my scripts that it felt like a break, but it still was comedy and very fun. I like to do comedy! Megan Amram blogbreakcomedy share on social
