My dad gave us an update and there’s another procedure before hers, so we won’t knowRead the whole post >>

A Cure for the Blues

Been suffering from the blahs? Me, too. But not so much anymore. Not after all this. Here’s what offered just the pick-me-up I needed (but rest assured, you really don’t need a beach or even a trip.

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.
