CommentA Writer Suits Up

Hôtel, Je t’aime
Paris is my absolute favorite place on the planet. It’s been a while since my last trip and I miss it terribly, so I’ve been thinking that this Fall would be a good time to take a few days to visit.

My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. I recently moved to Seattle because I wanted a better home base to support my creative goals. And my shaman told me to. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
