Priorities

Today I’m over at Sarah’s space discussing how I attempt to balance writing projects with the rest of my life. (Not so easy lately, which explains my sparse blog this week.)

I should mention that I’m approaching the topic of writing and blogging as someone whose writing is not only her hobby but also her trade. Likewise, when I discus writing for free, I’m referring to freelance writing projects where I either pitch an idea or completed manuscript to an editor or someone approaches me to write something for a media outlet.

Finally, it’s my hope that some of my writing (especially blogging) might in some small way give glory to God (though a tweet yesterday about getting pooped on not once but twice might be stretching it!).

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
