What Do I Do With This Gothic Story Idea?

OMG!!! Mary Shelley wrote possibly the best novel I have ever read. Even if she made a huge powerful monster, she did the best thing to save it by writing it the way she did. I believe it is the iest freaking book ever! I am almost positive I will not find a better book and I search endlessly. She is my hero. She is my role model. Yes, she is dead, but she is still awesome! ha-ha I just get excited when she comes into a conversation. Anyway, you can do what Poe did. Not sure what it is called, the one with the floorboard pulsing and he goes insane, but appears sane on the outside. I do not think you turn Edgar Allan Poe good with one story. You must practice hard and non-stop. You must read in between lines. you must devour his words and enter his mind, but still write with yours. There seems to be no other way, but there is plenty of ways. Practice, but I believe the best writing comes from strong emotions that are impracticable to get around. Writing is arduous, but if you are ardently in love with writing, it will come to you the way it comes to few. I dream of writing one novel alone worthy of comparison to Shelley"s. Remember that in Gothic Literature, the character is often the monster itself. In Frankenstein, the monster is Victor Frankenstein and not his creation. Have fun writing, but Gothic writing often involves a troubled mind. There also doesn't have to be a monster physically. Try to do one mentally. That would be something of great beauty. Don't you think? E-mail me for any questions or comments. I love talking about Gothic writing.
