Goodreads asked Callie Bowld:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Callie Bowld What Goes Down started as a journal of healing: just me, telling myself my own stories (all of the awful things I did to my poor body). But, I felt--to truly apologize to my body and forgive myself--I needed to acknowledge them. Then, I was shocked by the revelation that I needed to laugh at some of them, as that was the moment I first believed I could truly heal, when I could finally start to laugh a little about it. Then I knew I had to get it out there so others could feel it, and laugh, too.
