Chennault published her first collection of poetry and essays when she was only 20. She has so far published more than 50 works in English and / or Chinese. She relates that she really enjoyed writing poetry when she was younger, moving more toward prose fiction as she got older. Today, having lived so fully and had so much international experience, she prefers writing more philosophical essays about life.
