Madeline (Madi) Eaton

Hey reader, my name is Madi! I am a Newark Academy student currently working towards an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Since I was young, I have always possessed both a vivid imagination and love for the creative arts. My mother, a talented artist herself, gave me my creative spirit. She recognized my talent for storytelling, and encouraged me to explore it through writing. Now, I write whenever I can.

As a writer, I love to draw on both internal and external inspiration. For example, one of my pieces may be based off of personal experience, while another is simply inspired by a stranger I met in a coffee shop. In any case, writing is my creative outlet, a way to express my deepest thoughts, wishes, emotions, and fears. My writing also comes from all points of the creative process—some pieces are fully developed, some are snippets of larger works, and others simply exist as a single phrase, waiting to be made into something wonderful (see the journal page!)  

In this sense, the name, “her soliloquy,” really does capture the heart of this blog. It is the world—in art, words, recipes and nature—through my eyes. My own personal soliloquy. In other words, this blog, in its entirety, is my answer to the timeless question: 

“What makes you tick?”
