    I fear that when I write, I uselessly speak to mute ashes.

This is such a beautiful line, and this entire post is proof that you are, in fact, a writer. Popularity speaks nothing of content, simply look at the Billboard top 40 charts for music if you want proof of that. Sometimes the most talented artists are those that never sell enough to make ends meets, but stick with it because it is what they love. Popularity is based a lot around marketability and blind luck. But you seem to have a passion for this, and that is another thing that makes you a writer. Also, Annabel Lee is a beautiful poem, such mournful and somber imagery.

Yeah, I've always liked Annabel Lee too.... and the Raven.
