My name is Kate, although I’ve always been Katie to friends
and family. I’m twenty-four years old and call myself a writer. Hopefully one
day I can live up to (and solely on the proceeds of) that job title. I’m still working
on it.
I live in Yorkshire in a place which is equidistant from the
city centre and the countryside. I would be sad to be too far away from either
them. I like having shops, restaurants, theatres, museums and bars on my
doorstep but also not being too far away from the quiet beauty of the moors.
I love cooking (largely because I love eating), exploring new
places, listening to an eclectic mix of music, making lists, overusing brackets
in my writing and reading blogs, magazines, newspapers and novels. My favourite
author is Thomas Hardy. I play the flute to a decent level and the Celtic harp
very badly. I’m a night owl, permanently cold and short enough to be at armpit
level on public transport. I’m partial to a gin cocktail and would have to
ditch the chocolate if it was a choice between that or cheese. Cheese will be
my undoing.
I studied History and French at University, and spent a year
living in Paris. I know it better than London and would love to go back for a
while in the future. My time there made me realise how distinctly un-chic I am, but I do gravitate towards far too many black, grey and navy clothes. It’s a
wildly unrealistic dream of mine to spend more time in European cities. Anyone
fancy sponsoring me to live in Rome for a year?
At the moment, I’m enjoying writing for my blog and a
variety of magazines, like the lovely Wonder
Magazine, which I read avidly too!
