Still Crazy After All These Years

…but not in Paul Simon’s wistful, lovesick kind of way. I’m still crazy about you after all these years as I was when we were dating and staying up way, way, way past my bedtime talking on the phone for hours and hours. (What did we talk about?) Love is the law of your life. ThisRead the whole post >>

~1~ Maybe it’s just fretful me, but sometimes, as a rookie homeschooling mom, I feel a lot of pressure to look like I always have it together and that my children don’t just know their ABCs but are reading living books (by themselves) and are always well-mannered. Part of the pressure I occasionally pile onRead 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.
