The Words & Madness of Chloe Stowe

Author. Traveler. Survivor.

Author: Chloe Stowe

Acclaimed author of 17 novels (my dogs and mother adore me), World traveler (I’ve felt the Sahara Desert between my toes… still gobsmacked over the stars in the Sahara) And survivor (of three dirty-fighting gremlins named Anxiety, Panic and OCD)… My name is Chloe Stowe. Hello. If you’ve found your way here, you’ve most likely arrived on the coattails of my blog, The Words and Madness of Chloe Stowe. Started in 2012, my daily rantings now number in the thousands. Ranging from humorous to moody, poignant to absurd, these tiny tidbits of thought began as a way to get my name “out there.” It has long since morphed into an effort just to “be there” for anybody out there struggling with words or madness, like me. Quick biographical sketch of me? Nerd turned nut at nineteen. In my sophomore year at Auburn University, I was taken out at the knees by severe panic attacks. Chronic anxiety soon joined the dogpile, followed shortly by OCD tendencies. Oh, it was ugly. I eventually had to quit school and soon quit life, as well. I spent a good chunk of my 20’s not able to leave my room. Twenty years later, it’s still can get ugly in my head. Thanks to meds and doctors, however, I am able to lead a better life, now. I still can’t work outside the house, but I can live and smile and write. So, here I am. Broken, but stubbornly present. I hope my voice proves company to someone lonely out there. Thanks for reading! Chloe Stowe

My Travel Blog: Tiptoeing Soul

Writing Nook #11: Casa Ristretta in Apricale, Italy

Writing Nook #11: Casa Ristretta in Apricale, Italy

I really am a terrible travel blogger, aren’t I? Not only do I not get to go to the places I write about (excuse me while I give my crazy noggin another sound thumping for that), I keep no kind of schedule. The trains in Naples run more on time than I. (Remind me to tell you about that most interesting night my sister and I spent under the Naples train station sometime. My life might be extremely boring at times, but when it picks up it really does outdo itself.)

Writing Nook #10: Hebros Hotel in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Perhaps a warning label would have been appropriate for this travel blog?

Something classy, not too showy?

Something honest and entirely direct?

Yes, well, have at it. I’ve only managed to come up with this (and an embarrassing amount of time it took me to scrape it together, too, I should add)…

The Capriccioso: Council Square Apartment, Brasov, Romania

The Capriccioso: Council Square Apartment, Brasov, Romania

To do something with “capriccioso” is to do something capriciously. It is with capriccioso that I choose these writing nooks. Beyond being in my price range and meeting my most basic needs as a solo traveler, these establishments receive minor vetting on my part. They spark, if nothing more, a gut reaction from my writing soul.
