Kylie Leane

Author. Illustrator. Cat Lady.

Kylie Leane is attempting to be a writer of some sort.

She certainly does a lot of writing.
She lives in a little cottage, with her pet cats, Winter and Charcoal, and enjoys going to the gym, watching anime, playing a good video game, and curling up by the fire in winter.
She just really wants to tell stories, however she can.

(She is also single, and hates online dating -
but if you're a Christian guy, honestly, stranger stories have been told.)

Tea & Whiskers: More than Words

One of my students reminded me recently how thrilling it can be to wait for a new tv episode week by week. Experiencing the story unfolding alongside millions of others. It made me reflect on my own moments of being swept up in stories, and how they’ve really shaped my understanding of different medias, and helped forge my love of storytelling.

Tea & Whiskers: Tiny Triumphs Matter

This may seem like something very small, and not at all worthy of commenting on, but often I think progress is the accumulation of tiny, little triumphs and not so much the great, magnificent trophy.

When I was first diagnosed with fibro my Mum took me along to a fibromyalgia meetup at Arthritis SA. I was all of nineteen, fresh off being unable to remain at university doing Creative Writing, despite trying so very hard to remain, and enjoying myself there.

It’s true. I’m on a hilarious quest to find you. It’s hilarious, because, it’s a topic of much amusement and laughter, and you know what, that’s okay. It is actually pretty funny that I haven’t found you amongst all the fish in this ocean that apparently exist out there....

Tea & Whiskers: Fibro Frustrations

I don't know if other people with Fibromyalgia experience this particular frustration, but I thought I'd talk about it, as it's something I've noticed over the years: The frequency in which I change clothes - in a single day.
