Intermission

Only Good Movies recently interviewed my little brother (who is almost 30 now but will always be my little brother) about his favorite flicks.

Return of the Yes Mom!

After being inspired by this post, I’ve been trying to revert back to being more of a “yes” mom.

Muddy Buddies

We may be living in the Estroden around here where X chromosomes rule, but we’re no sissies. Muddy puddle-jumping beats playing princess any day.

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.
