Pen poised, ready to sketch

Sketchiness is the web home of Kate Carroll de Gutes, writer, trouble-maker, and wry observer.   Kate started her career as a journalist, which means that she is a stickler for the truth (capital T) and that her writing is almost always sparked by some event or thing outside herself. Her writing has been featured in various anthologies, newspapers, and magazines, and on the web. She lives, writes, and rides her bike in Portland, Oregon.
