I May Be Old, But I’m Still Worth Something…

Another birthday is around the corner for me, so it’s comforting to know that my 3-year-old doesn’t view old people as throwaways of society.

Madeline: When I’m older and bigger, I can do lots of things like put things in oven.

Me: Well, you’ll have to be a lot older to do that.

Madeline: Are you old?

Me: Yeah. I’m pretty old, especially to you.

Madeline: I still want to keep you.

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
