“The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching, nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisons reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses, erected in the dark sea of time.”

-Jeffrey Robbins; Gargoyles

Name: Taylor Rae

Age: Twenty-One

Description: I've been writing since I was in eighth grade. Back then, my small group of friends would get together and write, editing one another's stories and helping with ideas. I attended three different high schools,but remained friends with those same people. Not all of us write anymore, but writing has become a part of me, and I'm not sure how I could live without it. Out of high school and having recently graduated college, writing is always my way out.

Writing Style: I tend to be very, very, VERY descriptive, using unusual phrases and words that normal writing just does not have. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it- just that my good friend always said it had a "Gothic Appeal" to it. For example, I often do not use the term 'eyes', but instead, I replace it with 'irises'.
