Musician / Band

Hi, I'm Katie!

Pacing is a project where I get to try on a bunch of different characters and see what they have to say. Most of them are profane, self-obsessed, shameless, unreliable narrators
 I guess a little bit of the real me always manages to slip in.

My writing has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources).

The best ways to keep up with what I'm up to is to join my email list where I send exciting things like shitty poetry, cat pics, and secrets.

I like to deal with my anxiety in the very healthy manner of repeatedly telling myself what an annoying idiot jerk I am. Every once in a while it works because I realize how ridiculous I sound.

My theory is that fully succumbing to the mean voices in your lizard brain can be a helpful form of immersion therapy, in small doses. I tested this theory out on the characters of this record, from a macho mafia-aspirant plotting to kill Tony Soprano, to a FOMO-plagued socialite having a panic attack, to - well, myself. These characters dramatically lash out at themselves and others, with mixed results.

The mixtape starts off bold and angry and gradually runs out of steam until the narrator is left standing alone, with no choice but to make friends with themself.

I like to think this is the mixtape you would make for the person you hate most. <3
