Darby Mae – Why I Write Vol. 10

“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”    – Alan Watts –

Peripatetic, offbeat, I am the poster child of odd jobs and a shrewd opportunist–here, there, anywhere–always ready to go further.  Spontaneity and I get along well.  Call me quixotic and I won’t deny it. Originally from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, my ensuing trajectories have brought me to myriad places, from Wellington to Paris and many dwellings in between.

Marion Chloé – WHY I WRITE VOL.8

Marion or Chloé, whichever name you want to call her, is a 25 years old French brand content consultant.

In love with words, both spoken and written, she spends a lot of time over-analyzing them. She hates small talk and would rather not debate about feminism before midday – she likes to take her time to wake up. She loves watching series and reading dystopian novels, preferably with a cat and preferably in her bed. She dislikes speaking about herself at the 3rd person but does so, occasionally.

Elias Attea – WHY I WRITE VOL.5

Elias Attea was born under New York New Moon on one of the coldest times of Buffalo’s history, or so  the legend goes.  While a yankee in heart, Attea crawled six-hundred miles as a baby to arrive and endure Tennessee’s hot, humid southern sunshine.  While proud to be a Tennessee kid, Attea now resides in a quiet farm house in Western New York, shoveling snow, shit, and soil whist working on his practice as a spiritualist and writer (and paying the bills, somehow).
