Jitter bug.
Today Gabe is wearing blue sunglasses, a green fleece, a grey sweatshirt, a teal jacket, khaki pants, and brown shoes.
That’s a lot of outfit components! And that’s because it’s cold.
Not that I would really know since for the last 48 hours I’ve been embroiled in a sudden, awful head cold. I’ve been mostly holed up in my room, occasionally breaking out to stumble around and insist I can cook my own macaroni (spoiler alert: I could not). Luckily, the haze is lifting and I’m beginning to return to my normal self.
Oddly enough, on the morning I started to feel sick, I wrote an article that ended up being one of the best things I’ve written recently. I write a lot about leadership and being great at your job, and to be honest, I feel a little bit out of my depths sometimes. I’m 25 and kind of a jokester, so writing about such grownup stuff for readers like executives and startup founders – really driven, successful people – can sometimes be a little intimidating. But the more I do it, the easier that feeling is to overcome, and I’ve been really pleased with a lot of my recent work.
I’m planning to do a more writing-focused post soon, with things I’ve learned and tips to share with other writers, but that will have to wait until I’m a bit more clear-headed. In the meantime, I just started watching Downton Abbey (hi, I’m Kate and I’m running about two years late on pop culture) and oh boy, I don’t know how I would have gotten through these last few days without it.
PS. If you want to read some of my published work, you can check out http://katestull.com! It’s soon to be updated with more links, but it’s a good starting point for now.



Kate, I’m thrilled to hear you’re planning a writing-focused post
Oh, that’s really nice to hear! I’m excited to write it – should be the next one up (once I get over this cold!).
We jus started Downton Abbey as well. It’s remarkably remarkable. Look forward to your writing post.
I completely agree – remarkably remarkable! I am totally hooked.
I am a big joker too and sometimes it is hard taking myself seriously. I think though if you know something that is really cool to write about —why not!
Feel good, Kate and keep focusing on your work.
So, let me get this straight…
Your boyfriend poses daily for you?
Excellent work!
