I Couldn’t Agree More…


Preschooler while watching an educational DVD she received for Christmas: Dora’s really weird.

Me: Why?

Preschooler: She yells too loud.

As if on cue, we hear the enthusiastic explorer yelling very loudly: “Backpack!” To make matters worse, she asks my child to yell “backpack” with her.

    Dora was one of the main reasons I decided to cancel our cable service. I’d usually start twitching halfway into the show. ;)

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.
