Our Favorite Kate Larking Posts

Since Kate is unable to post today (for most excellent reasons), we’re each sharing a favorite post of hers!

Melissa’s Favorite Kate Larking Post

Kate is beautifully honest, which is one of the things I love about her. So often, I find she puts ideas I can’t successfully articulate into simple, succinct encapsulations.

I chose an early post: Why Anxiety Ink Means a lot to Me from September 25, 2013. She turns that honesty onto herself and shares a few quotes that have helped her through tough times. Her hope and strength leaves me in awe, and it’s advice I especially need in my life right now.

Elisa’s Favourite Kate Larking Post

Picking one post from Kate’s archive was extremely difficult. As Melissa said above, Kate is honest about all aspects of writing and all of the life minutiae that affect writers trying desperately to write. Amongst other things.

She’s so open about so many aspects of the craft and I’ve learned so much from her –like the ins and outs of being an indie, anthology creation, and comic creation to mention a few– that I was at a bit of a loss as to where to start hunting down a favourite post.

I’m glad Melissa went old as that will complement the fact that I went new. I chose Kate’s Parkinson’s Law for Writers post from August of this year because I recall having a visceral reaction to it when I first read it. Even rereading it now I am like, “Yes! This is my issue!”

“Without a deadline your creative project will be endless.”

As Melissa said (really I’m just a parrot sitting in front of my computer), this was a statement I needed in my life right now –and Kate is very good at delivering what you need to hear when you need to hear it. I’ve struggled with my creative endeavors this year and I’m ending 2016 extremely frustrated. Making note of this law and planning with it in mind is going to help me come the New Year.

We hope you enjoy these two posts from Kate’s plethora of useful topics!
