This is a test. This is only a test.

Yesterday I attempted to update some plugins for my blog. If you don’t know what plugins are, what it means for a feed to be invalid, or what htaccess is, you’re lucky. Well, it seems a bad plugin messed with my site, making it impossible for me to log in to my blog dashboard andRead the whole post >>

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.
