Advent Smorgasbord

Life’s been incredibly busy, which explains the recent onslaught of photos (rather than words) of my kids that are incredibly interesting if you answer to the name of Grandma. Otherwise, not so much. Our family has lots of exciting things unfolding in our lives (no, I’m not pregnant), and I hope to go into moreRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes

~1~ We hope to hit an orchard this fall but even if that doesn’t end up happening given our busy weekends over the next few weeks, I plan on stocking up on apples while they’re in season.

I’ve heard that some real men do eat quiche, but my husband happens to belong to the I’d-rather-not-have-to-eat-egg-pie-for-dinner camp.

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.
