"I can’t ever seem to write the things I intend to, and instead I end up telling stories I never thought were very interesting or important. These always seem to be the parts of my books that people like the most. It’s a complete mystery to me. " -- interesting. can't control these things.
i love Wintering (it is an annual read--and actually this was a reminder to pull it off the shelf now) and Enchanted as well as Katherine's substack. thank you so much for sharing a bit of Katherine with us. she is a gem.
Thanks for this introduction. I’m named after my grandmother who was Kathryn May. And, like you, I mostly hate writing. I’m euphoric for a day or two, but mostly I agonize over each word. Still, I can’t not do it. Double negative intended. I look forward to enjoying your work.

Well this is heaven!
Glad you enjoyed this, Emma!!!
The pandemic ruined my attention span for reading as well and I’m still recovering. Nice to see I’m not alone.
I struggle with it, too.
I write to discover. I read to connect with another person’s experience.
