Welcome to my Author Page!

My name is Katherine Phillips. I’ve lived in southern California most of my life. Hiding away from the rays of the sun has always been where I am most comfortable.

I enjoy writing, cinematography, photography, and gaming. Cinematography in particular requires that I leave the house and work with others. This is tough on me but one of the more rewarding things I have done.

Hello out there

Hope everyone's doing well.

I've been absent for quite a while now. Close to a year.

If you don't know me that's okay. I'm the author of Adrian and Walkers Path. One of which I took down.

To be honest I stopped writing those stories. I'm sure I'll get back to them one day. For now I've been working on a Sci-fi/LITRPG novel. It's over 80k words and I'm beginning to see the end of the road for it.

New Walker's Path is out!

Hello out there,

A new chapter of Walker's Path is out!

A bit of a warning. Its name "Violation" is that way for a reason. If you have problems reading about being sexually assaulted I suggest not reading this chapter. Even though it's only a kiss to the person it happens to it feels as if the whole world is against you.

First Draft is done!

Hello out there,

Just finished the first draft of Walker's Path Chapter 14. There are a few parts that feel a bit disjointed but I'm sure when I make a second pass through I'll iron most of them out.

It's a long chapter again which I'm sure most of you won't mind.

This one made me cry because I was in a similar situation before. You'll understand when you see it.

Looking forward to seeing your reactions!

Have a great day!

Writing Walker's Path Chapter 13

Hello out there,

A new episode of Writing Walker's Path has been released!

There's some talk of the future in this one and how Chapter 14 is going to be one of the last bad experiences for Walker. In general, I want Walker to come out of this with a good outlook and hopefully, I can outweigh the negative with positive.

Also Chapters 3-5 have been edited! I'll continue to edit these and hopefully get all of the little grammar bugs poking around.

Friday. New Walker's Path.

Hello out there,

I was right. It took another week to complete chapter 13.

I need to edit it today or tomorrow and then it should be ready for Friday.

While chapter 13 is fresh off the press (of my fingers on a keyboard) I can't help but mention that chapter 14 is already some of what I would consider my best work. I only started writing it today and I'm blown away at how well I am at expressing these particular emotions.

No spoilers, just know that I am really feeling chapter 14. Mostly because the emotions in it so far have been pent up in me.

No new Walker's Path this week (maybe)

Hello out there,

I released two chapters in four weeks. If I were to follow that pattern it would mean that tomorrow a new Walker's Path would come out.

While I am close to finishing the latest chapter its not quite complete.

To close out the next chapter I'm looking at them finishing breakfast and leaving the buffet.

As soon as I have that done (I'm close) I will be editing it and then releasing it. Hopefully that will be next Friday.

Walkers Path Changes/Update

Hello out there,

A friend of mine has been tearing through Walker's Path with suggestions and revisions. Slowly over the next week or so I'll be implementing the revisions I like and will change them here. I've already done the latest chapter (11) and chapters 1 and 2.

I'm also going to be changing the order in which people read the Intermission. It'll come out AFTER Chapter 10. I'll be changing the end of chapter 10 to be the beginning of Chapter 11. It's going to be the same content but in a slightly different order.

Writing Walker's Path Chapter 11

Hello out there,

There are other "Writing Walker's Path" episodes for other chapters on there as well so make sure to read them all!

You can read Chapter 11's here.

Surprise!

Hello out there,

Tomorrow there is going to be a surprise for you! How about Chapter 11 of Walker's Path?

Sorry for the Hiatus but I needed to work on myself for a little while.

The new Chapter is going to be around 2k words long which is around 1k shorter than I normally write but when the chapter ends it ends.

A month apart

Hello out there,

It's been a month or so since I last updated Walker's Path.

For the last three or so months I was putting out two chapters a month. I didn't mind writing on that schedule but the last chapter was nearly twenty pages long and took a lot out of me.

I've been playing a lot of view games lately. Mainly Red Dead Redemption 2 and Overwatch. I also got into New World which I'm enjoying.

Writing Walker's Path Chapter 10

Hello out there,

I'm happy to announce that the Writing Walker's Path for Chapter 10 is out!

Chapter 10 is longer than all of the other chapters so I spent a bit more time on the blog talking about it. I feel there's still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to the blog so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Lots of love,
Katherine

Walker's Path the next...

Hello out there,

Chapter 10 is written! I'm going to release it this coming Friday. So not only do you have the weekend to look forward to you have a new chapter too!

It catches Walker's storyline up to the Intermission. Let's just say mistakes were made and there's a surprise in there as well.

I'm interested in a beta reader for this one. I'm looking for someone who is willing to be really open about what I've written. Weirdly the part I want feedback on was not planned at all which is why I need feedback.

Writing Walker's Path

Hello out there,

It's been a week and as promised the Walker's Path Intermission is out!

Mind you it's only 1200 words long but it's sort of an official in-story introduction to Walker's friends. (And a little more)

I'm going to start doing a blog on my website after every chapter release. I'll link to it here after I release the chapter. I'll be giving insights as to why I wrote what I did and what my state of mind was like at the time.

Walker's Path Release!

Hello out there,

If you haven't noticed yet... I just released Chapter 9 of Walker's Path!

It's the end of the night and there was something that Alyx said that's been bugging Walker. He is bound and determined to know what she meant. Those questions are answered in this episode.

Also, this chapter is the last of the "night" chapters. Longest night ever?

Better Than Expected

Hello out there,

Finished Chapter 9 of Walker's Path and finished the Intermission.

I am going to add Chapter 9 tomorrow morning so keep an eye out!

As for the Intermission. I'm not sure when I'll release it. I may just wait a week because it's not that big. It's mostly ready though.

After I post the Intermission I will have some questions for all of you so be ready!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hello out there,

I hope you're all having a wonderful Thursday morning.

I'm patiently waiting for my speech therapy and have some good news.

Chapter 9 is almost done!

If you haven't read Walker's Path know that it's a story about the revelations of a teen intersex kid.

Chapter 9 continues this trend.

I'm pretty excited to bring it out. I'd like to announce that Chapter 9 is officially the last never-ending 'night' segment.

Walker's Path Chap 8

Hello out there,

Chapter 8 of Walker's Path is out! I rather enjoyed writing this one.

If you read that last chapter you know that Walker's in a bit of a bind (heh). Definitely check out the continuation of the story!

I'm so happy with the feedback I'm getting. (Even if it's only in PM's.)

I said and meant it

Hello out there,

So last week I said I should be done with Walker's Path Chapter 8 by the end of the next week. Well, today's the end of that week and I actually finished! Last night decided to sit down before bed and write a little bit bringing the chapter to 9 pages.(in google docs)

There's some editing I need to do and that can take a bit but expect the new chapter TODAY.

Lots of love,
Katherine

Writing Walker's Path a Trend

Hello out there,

I noticed a trend. It seems that I put out around 2 chapters of Walker's Path a month.

I'm actually pretty happy with this type of rollout.

I'm seven pages into the into chapter 8 and feel pretty comfortable with the timeline I've been working with.

Let's just say the night is over in the next chapter. Mostly because it's literally past midnight.

I hope to have this one done by the end of next week.

Lots of love,
Katherine

It's late but it's done.

Hello out there,

I finished writing chapter 7 of Walker's Path today. It took a lot longer than I anticipated. I was going to finish it quickly but then Camp NaNoWriMo happened and I started working on the sequel to Adrian. That didn't end up going anywhere either so I ended up distracting myself.

I want to do a quick edit on it before I release it. Most of my work here is first draft material so I'm sorry if it's not that well done.

I'm still here

Hello out there,

As you know I've been gone for a while. Chapter 6 of Walker's Path was pretty tough to write but Chapter 7 is even harder. It's not a whimsical or fun Chapter. It's difficult to write because it's emotional.

Because it's so emotional it takes a lot out of me. Pulling emotions out of my brain is pretty taxing. It makes me face feelings that I don't want to deal with.

Walker is following a similar path. Where he doesn't want to face the truth of what happened to him. He's lucky though because he's found a support system by accident.

It's out, it's out!

Hello out there,

Like the title says "Walker's Path Chapter 6 Fractured" is out!

I had a tough time writing this one. It felt like a really shitty time for Walker and I even teared up apologizing to him. His past is pretty tragic and when I wrote a certain sentence in the story it only solidified my thoughts.

I hope you all enjoy this one because it was a pretty big emotional ride for me.

Delay of Game

Hello out there,

I admit that I haven't been working on Walker's Path for the last week or two. It's not because I don't care about the story. It's because my foot has been hurting me pretty bad making it hard to concentrate. I don't use meds for pain because I absolutely hate taking them.

I'm having a really hard time walking and will be getting crutches soon so I can be mobile.

I hate talking about this type of thing. I always feel like I'm looking for sympathy when I'm not.

Spreading beyond BigCloset

Hello out there,

I hope you're all doing well and are enjoying the latest Walker's Path.

When I first started this story I posted a blog about Walker's Path being an exclusive for BigCloset. I've been thinking about spreading the story to other platforms.

Walker's Path will likely always be posted here first but I want to expand the reader base.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

Let me know what you all think. I'll make my decision based on the feedback I receive.

Have a wonderful Sunday,
Katherine

Walker Walks Again

Hello out there,

It's that time again! The new chapter of Walker's Path is out!

This one was a bit tough to write because we are finally dealing with Walker's emotions. I ended up continuing from where I was going to cut the chapter off and I believe it was better for it.

I hope you enjoy this one!

New series and more!

Hello out there,

There's something new out there with my name on it. Outkast's. This story is about Vic and his experience being Walker's best friend.

Now I don't know how often I will update this one but I have some plans for it. It's going to fill the gaps that Walker doesn't see. It'll give context to things that might need it.
