Everybody’s sick around here

Even my 2-year-old’s baby doll. Fortunately, the baby and the girls only have some sniffles and congestion. This doll seems to be in for a worse fate. The Black Death perhaps? Those are actually globs of black Play-doh. My 2-year-old is normally a very attentive mommy, but she has recently taken up a new pastimeRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes: The Extreme Introvert, Rotten Pumpkin, & Holiday Masochist Edition

— 1 — So my postpartum mood had been pretty placid – even chirpy – until recently. Over the past few weeks, I’ve morph into a weepy psycho.

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.
