I started posting with AFO in Christmas of 2001 as opettaa on aol. Since then I have discovered the wonderful word of google and have been able to use my name and real e-mail! At the moment (1-8-2002) I am a senior at William Jewell College in Missouri, majoring in English Lit. I plan on going on to get my MFA in Creative Writing and a PhD in Literature, though I'm not sure yet what my focuse will be. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, my mother still has the books I wrote in 1st grade, but I've only been seriously writing both prose and poetry for the past 2 years or so. I have won several awards for my poetry, but nothing so far for my prose... Hopefully that just shows lack of concentration insead of lack of skill.
