Hi Kim! I just stumbled across your stack from a post on notes - welcome to bookstack!! I live in Southern California and have almost my whole life - its a hard place to move away from. I've been writing for about 1.5 years now and its the best (and scariest) thing I've ever done. I am really looking forward to reading about the creative side of reading here :)

Hi Natalie! Welcome! I happened upon your Substack about a month ago and have been loving your writing! (I flagged your welcome email in my inbox with every intention of replying to say hello, and then never got around to it. #momlife) So glad to have you here!

I can go first! Hi, I’m Kim (she/her). I’m from a small town in Southern Illinois but I live in Chicago and consider myself a Chicagoan now. This is my forever place. Currently, I’m re-reading Diary of a Misfit by Casey Parks and also cross stitching a dinosaur in space for my son’s room. 😄 I’m hoping Beyond the Page will become a community for all kinds of creatives and I’d absolutely love to start an accountability group if anyone else is down for it. Can’t wait to talk more!
