Writing Saves My Life. My favorite author/poet is Edgar Allan Poe, mainly because I find his style of writing to be much like my own, and he inspires me with his amazing work. My reason for joining this site and creating an account is for the sole purpose of posting my writing on the internet for others to read and critique. I enjoy sharing my work with other people, and I strongly encourage readers to critique my work, because I want to become the best writer possible.
