Hello, my name is Kate and I am a compulsive fiction writer.
My first story was called “Super Cat”. It wasn’t good, it was horribly spelled, and the idea was mostly plagiarized. Every journal I own begins with a few days of my life and the rest is a hastily-scrawled record of whatever story came out. Ideas come from my dreams. I think about my stories in bed as I drift off to sleep. I often wake at three am with a writing revelation. I might be dreaming up romance stories behind you in the line at the DMV, composing the plot for a mystery while we wait for the bus, or texting a poignant line for my main character to my email address from the bathroom at the mall. Thanks to my laptop and some late-blooming self-discipline, scrawled notes in a journal or random thoughts scribbled in the margins of a wadded-up grocery list have taken physical form. I live in Seattle, Washington with my wonderful husband and three energetic children. Most of my writing is done to the sound of my children’s voices, and is interrupted every few sentences. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
In September of 2012, I became the Seattle Writing Examiner! Please visit my column at http://www.examiner.com/writing-179-in-seattle/katherine-policani

Kate,
Thank you for liking Berkeley Marketing. I noticed that you have “no” search engine rank.
Have you registered with the top ten search engines starting with Google and then Yahoo among others? It may be accomplished free and you can find the top ten by using Google search. It helps put your site on radar.
Check Alexa at http://www.alexa.com/ , which is where I keep track of the search engine rank of every site I visit and keep tabs on my sites.
Wow, thanks! I have a techie husband who should have told me this!
Hey Kate,
Hope you don’t mind, but I’m making a list of favourite blogs on my site and wanted to put you on it.
Cha-yeah! Thanks!
No probs. You deserve it, great blog.
Thanks for following my new blog – I hope you’ll enjoy it. It is so interesting for me to see how different writers approach their writing.
There really are almost as many different writing styles as there are writers!
I listed you as one of my fifteen recently found blogs in my acceptance of the Versatile Blogger Award – thus giving you the award, too. I view it as an opportunity to let people know about blogs they might not have found otherwise. And your blog is one I definitely enjoy following. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for including me! I am glad you enjoy my blog!
Thank you for following The Monstrum Chronicles blog! I really appreciate it. I look forward to reading more of your posts! Take care!
I’m looking forward to your posts too! Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you!
From one Kate to another – I appreciate your willingness to share and inspire. Your post about what never to do while writing fiction struck a chord. I’m looking forward to reading more, here. Also, I listed you as one of my 15 for the Versatile Blogger Award. Check it out.
