My name is Kate, but most of my friends call me Cake. I take a lot of pictures, but I primarily see myself as a writer; I've been scribbling since the age of eight (and I would like to think that I've improved since then).

I'm a native New Yorker, but I moved to Washington, DC and got a BA in English and Creative Writing in 2013. I now live and work full-time in Arlington, VA.

I'm also an admin over at #dA-lta, a humor literature group, and #TransmetLit, a group that promotes transgressive fiction, so feel free to join me there.

Cheers!

:eager: Need publishing resources? Click here!





First off, two things:

1. #transliterations is back from the dead with a brand new prompt, so for those of you who are looking to get those creative juices flowing, click over here and check it out.

2. ~SkysongMA has just opened her new group, #Persistent-Practice, which features lots of activities and discussions to get you to kick your own ass and start writing more regularly, so you should check that out too.


On the personal front, I'm being super-boring. I started my job last week, and so far it's going pretty well -- we're in a slow period because it's summer, and since the journals are geared toward teachers, we only put out one issue for the summer months. So I've been doing a bit of busywork, but on the bright side people are nice, the content I'm working with is interesting, and helping teachers is definitely a thing I love doing.

I'm hoping to get more writing done as I settle into a routine, which I'm beginning to. I'm also supposed to be studying for the GRE but that has also fallen by the wayside. I blame general summer lethargy -- the DC area was built on a swamp, and you're never reminded of that more than in the summer. :dead:

And finally, on the general good news front, I'm being published! I was solicited by what is apparently a pretty big-shot lit mag in the DC area last year, and I was going to submit...and then forgot. And missed the deadline. :facepalm: So I tried again this year, and instead of being published in the journal, the press is apparently putting out an anthology of fiction by DC-area women writers and needed some more content, so it's getting slotted in there instead. So I get to be published alongside all these fantastic writers, and a fancy book launch at Politics and Prose, and I'm still pinching myself I can't believe it. :iconeagerpee: I'll let you all know more details when I do -- the release is in November and I'm hoping to get the galleys (bound proofs) soon.

How are the rest of you? :D
