Woman of an Indeterminate Age with Kim DeRose
I'm a writer, mother, feminist, and book nerd. I'm also an arts fan, coffee drinker, and over-thinker. Subscribing will get you (sporadicly sent) thoughts on writing, music, books, film, and the inescapable fact that we're all going to die. Fun, right?!
