Kim

I'm an astigmatic expat writer, editor, blogger and community manager who loves thunderstorms, good books, sushi and wants to learn how to snowboard. Over the last few years I've written six crochet books, edited a magazine and co-hosted a television show. Now I work at LexPublica, I write and I blog. I live in Vancouver, BC, with one human and one mutt. The mutt *hates* thunderstorms.

Too Long To Catch Up

Thanksgiving Fridge, originally uploaded by kpwerker. All the words that want to get written here bombard each other into a cacophony inside my head, and none can make it out.

Did I mention it’s been dark? Then yesterday, for about an hour, the sun came out. We threw on shoes and coats...
