Alter Egos

We had quite the motley crew tonight: An elephant… A flamingo princess… (The princess part was essential to the costume. When people asked if she was a flamingo, Rae said, “No. A flamingo princess.”) Pippi… And a very cuddly teddy bear… Tonight was fun. Now the kids are all passed out with sugar comas.

7 Quick Takes: The Gratuitous Baby Shot, Time Marches On, & Other Random Tidbits Edition

— 1 — We’ve been engaged in some serious germ warfare around here. I had the first fever I’ve had in ages, and it knocked me out. I felt like a Mack truck had rolled over me; I was so achy. I’m getting old. Good news is I got over it very quickly, and theRead the whole post >>

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.
