Hello, fellow lovers of language. I'm 21, have long loved reading and words, and have dabbled in writing poetry. Of late I've discovered the joys of writing prose and short stories, and have sharpened my skills in poetry somewhat. I love literature, the gothics and so forth especially. I love Poe, Eddings, Pratchett, Longfellow, Wilde, Lovecraft and Bierce - and many more besides.
