She had wandered, without rule or guidance, into a moral wilderness. Her intellect and heart had their home, as it were, in desert places, where she roamed as freely as the wild Indian in his woods. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers - stern and wild ones -and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter

Hullo, and welcome to my profile. I'm so glad that you could make it! I apologize for the barren wasteland that it has been for quite some time, but I am working to remedy that... Just... very slowly.

Just a few things about me that seem to be applicable:

Name:
Katlyn, but I prefer Tater
Age:
22
Gender:
Female
How long have you been writing?
Stories? Probably since I was about eleven years old. I started role playing online when I was about thirteen, and I saw my ability to make my sentences flow increase ten-fold. My English teachers in tenth and eleventh grade taught me to hone my grammatical skills even further. I admit that I'm not perfect when it comes to certain things, but I'm not above accepting constructive criticism or asking for help when I know that I need it.
Poetry? I have been writing good poetry since I was thirteen. I went through a very, very depressive time in my life, and the only way to keep myself calm was to write my thoughts down. Coincidentally, those thoughts became poems that I keep to this day... Just in case an assignment for class came up that required a poem or two. Unfortunately, my ability to write poetry at all has waned significantly. I do not understand why, but I have not been able to crank out a poem for almost our years.

Gah. The fiancé is stealing the computer away for the time. I will finish this at a later time.
