A single word describes me as an author, and although not all-inclusive, it leaves a sufficiently narrow margin of error. Gothic. Of course, this word has many strange connotations: depressed, spiteful, self-harming even. I am none of these. Thusly, I will leave you with this definition. Gothic: Of or pertaining to the outward expression of the beauty of tragedy, without necessarily living tragically. I live by that definition. I hope that my writings show you such beauty.
