Since I’m in a blogging rut and have been a complete small success slacker lately, I thought it was as good a time as any to jump back in and give myself a quick pat on the back. Here are three “Woo-hoo! ” moments for this week: 1. A few nights ago I made aRead the whole post >>

Celebrate the Small Stuff

I’ve been MIA in the “Small Successes” world. Why? Because I haven’t felt one bit successful. On one hand, I’ve still been trying to do too much.

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.
