Hi, I’m Kaitlyn. I’m a university graduate working hard to justify the fact that I did an Arts degree. I work as a writer, poet, editor, promotions person, and social media enthusiast. Once a week, I blog about the crazy stuff that happens to me on public transport (on my micro-story blog, Transports of Delight). This website is half online portfolio, half blog about my projects. If you’re not sure where to start, I’ve made a handy list called Places To Start.

It’s been a bit quiet on kaitlynplyley.com of late, mainly because I’ve been building up my micro-story blog, Transports of Delight. It’s getting a few likes, and has even been nominated for a blogosphere user award (the VBA).
Every Sunday I blog a new story about the unusual stuff that happens to me on public transport. Experiences range from being shouted at by mentally unstable passengers, to watching as my bus driver runs into a fire truck.
