[0] Introduction: Life in Color
What do we write about?
Tech, Philosophy, Trends, Culture, Life, Musings ... and all things in between that make Life colorful.
Here are some examples of topics:
Philosophy / Life: “Why change is so hard?” and “Adversity and Superpowers”
Musings: “Asking stupid questions” and “How fast can a house be built?”
Tech: “Giving value to your users” and “Investing in sub-culture”
Our goal is to put a more colorful spin on topics that are interesting and top of mind but are often covered in a way that is too “black and white.”
The most interesting questions and topics rarely have straightforward answers.
If we do this right, you (the reader) will leave our pieces with some answers (maybe) but more importantly some deeper questions (definitely).
What’s our vibe?
We are generalists. We are optimists. We try to be emotionally intelligent and intelligently emotional.
We love going down many rabbit holes across different topics and being able to see things differently from multiple angles.
We hope with this mindset, our writing and thoughts are more balanced. If the New Yorker and the Economist had a baby, you might get Life in Color.
But Life in Color is still an infant and who knows what it grows up to be.
Who are we?
3 friends who went to the same college but span 10 years apart. We all found writing through a different path.
LJW
Liang has been journaling for years but started writing a lot during the pandemic to find calm in the chaos.
He writes as LJW. He writes like he talks.
Laura
Laura has been writing since she was a child and hopes to write a novel one day.
She writes as Laura. She has a writer’s mind but has an editor’s heart.
Prabhas
Prabhas has rediscovered his childhood passion of writing and hopes to publish a series of memoirs throughout his life.
He writes as Prabhas. He writes thoughts for your thoughts.
Why Writing Collective?
We write as a collective. There are 3 of us so far.
Having a writing collective allows us to work with other people who are in the “work in progress” stage of their writing journey.
Doing so allows us to appreciate the process versus the outcome and learn to value perfection less. That’s our theory on the writing process… write and grow together. So as the collective evolves (adds more people, writes more, different mediums, etc…) you will see progression and change.
At any given point in time, the writers are driving the voice of Life in Color, but since the collective changes, Life in Color is always changing.
Just like everything else.
Thanks for reading!
