Tall Tale

Madeline: Is Daddy going to be verwry, verwry old? Like 70?

(Our 3-year-old referring to Daddy’s looming 30th birthday.)

Me: No, he’s only going to be 30.

Madeline: Oh. Well, he’s going to be verwry, verwry tall when he’s 70.

(Daddy’s already 6’3″ and I think he’s seen the last of his growth spurts.)

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.
