Did You Watch the Inauguration?

We did. Since we now have cable television for the first time in almost two years (just got it last Thursday), we gathered in our living room to observe this historic moment. Dave is doing research for the next week, so he was able to be a spectator right along with me. So were theRead the whole post >>

Thank You…

To the man who came up to me after Mass today and asked if I needed help carrying things out to the car and then smiled and said he enjoyed hearing my baby “talk” (squeal loudly in frequent intervals is more like it). “She’s very vocal,” I said, apologizing. “She made a lot of noise,Read the whole post >>

A Child’s Prayer

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.
