A proposito di questo titolo

Today, I wanted to talk a little about my journey to becoming a writer. Specifically, when I started writing and the works that informed my style of writing. This will be several parts. There are a lot of different things I want to talk about.

Descent into Maelstrom by Edgar Allan Poe is what got me into writing. And I couldn’t tell you why. I was about 12 when I read it. I didn’t understand it. I don’t remember it too well. I’d have to read it again as an adult. Of his stories, I remember it the least. Stories like The Tell Tale Heart and Black Cat resonate with me more and are among my favorites, but after I read Descent into Maelstrom, I wrote a short story about a woman who was sleeping in a glass beach house on vacation. During the morning, she was woken up by a tidal wave that spread out over the house and seemed to encompass the sky. At the end, she was drowned when the wave landed.
