: About Me

My name's Kate, I've been a freelance writer for as long as I could scribble. Lucky for you and I, I've taken my squiggles and wiggles and turned them into something more sophisticated. Writing has always been a passion, and something that comes natural to me.

I'm a goof-ball most of the time, finding salvation in humor. Without it, well, the world would just be a pack of joe schmoes with frown lines.

My passion is ...

Writing, anything and everything in hopes that one day it'll add up to something.

I know too much about ...

Myself. The key to living happily is to never really know all about yourself, finding happiness in the discoveries.

My parents always told me ...

To be a doctor. Of course, if I did that, I probably wouldn't be starving right now. :P

My childhood ambition ...

Sell enough lemonade to get that pack of gum.

My favorite memory ...

I can't really say. I guess if there really was a why, I wouldn't like it. It's just something that comes from within. No explanation required. Haha, there's your explanation I suppose.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm a sucker for classic American litterature, and hardcore music. An odd combonation that my kids will greatly appreciate someday.

My first job ...

Funnel cake stand, good god how I hated it. It was glorofied burnt pancakes.

My best moment ...

Graduating college, and then emptying my brain of all I learned. That paper has never meant so

My inspiration ...

You know, I guess the great part of me is I have no inspiration. It just comes. I find it intangible, something I could never quite put a finger on.

Courage. What a word. Courage to live. Courage to die. Courage to love, and courage to lose. I never hated a word so much, the thought of it made my stomache drop and my heart ache. I was never courageous, it was like I was genetically coded to not have it. I could've waited an entire lifetime for my shining moment to come, when I could show the world that I was my own hero. I could've promised the world to be a new man, and then watch myself trip over the very same words. I suppose in an odd, abstract way I really was courageous. I had never fought more battles in my life than the day I t...
