Once upon a time, there was a Kate. This Kate was a short, frizzy-haired person who loved books and childcare and tea and rain and baking creative things. Kate started out as a kid and slowly became an adult (though it took her a while to realize it). Kate was busy loving books, childcare, tea, … More Once Upon a Time…
A month or two ago, I printed off the first draft of my WIP “Imperfect”, stapled it together in chapter-sized bites, found my red pen, and let the lovely stack haunt the top of my desk. Eventually that stack turned into two: “marked up” and “to mark up”. I’d grab a chapter or two when … More It’s Red All Over

I’m excited about two word-related things right now… #1? The other day, I printed off draft one of “Imperfect”. You probably heard me cackling in excitement. 😆 Then I stapled it together in segments of a chapter or two, located my red pen, and got to work. 😉 I haven’t had a lot of time … More Upcoming and Exciting

This year is rushing by like a puppy who stole something. I’m pretty sure I just did one of these updates last week, right? *laughs and cries because quarantine has made time meaningless* I’ve spent this quarter both world and injustice weary and exceedingly blessed and surprised by what God is doing.
