    That reminds me of a couple of weeks ago. We were interviewing a realtor and Isabel was in the corner at her desk. I was just grateful she wasn’t interrupting. The quiet should have clued me in. I finally asked what she was doing and she pointed to the realtor’s polished nails. Isabel had been sitting back in the corner “polishing” her fingernails with a marker. I didn’t quite get a picture though.

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.
