Chrys Buckley - 1 post

writes longhand first because she loves the feel of pen and paper. She writes short stories and poetry and is currently focused on Moonchild, a memoir about her freshman year of college, a coming-of-age story in which she tries to untangle all the difficulties that came with growing up as an albino. In Moonchild, Chrys relies on her determination and her fierce love of rock music to fuel her self-discovery. Chrys loves writing about real life because it lets her re-experience and give voice to all the moments of love, sorrow, anguish and grace, and feel them in a new, sometimes deeper, light. Chrys sees letters as different colors in her mind, so writing for her is a lot like painting; her only rule in writing her memoir is to be real, raw and “ruthless with truth.” Chrys currently works at Camp Orkila on Orcas Island and reads tarot cards. She was featured in the Readers Write section of the February 2008 issue of The Sun magazine. She writes a blog at http://chrysbuckley.blogspot.com called "Prying Open My Third Eye." This chapter is an excerpt from the first section of Moonchild, called "Eclipses," a collection of chapters that look into Chrys's childhood before she leaves for college.
