Growing Old Gracefully?

I really, really try to not get too wrapped up in vanity, but I have to say it’s a teensy-weensy bit disheartening when you’re not even 30 and your 3-year-old is staring at your forehead and asks, “Mommy, what are all those little lines on your face?”

    The other morning Lukie (almost six) said, “Mom, your butt is very wide. But I guess that happens when you’re really old.”

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.
