Yes it's the time of the Summer Olympics. I always waited with much excitement to participate with my cheers and love, supporting the favorites and discovering favorites in many sports. What gets me so excited is the determination, commitment that athletes show, day in and day out, to achieve their goals. This can be applied to…
I just started to read this book from Marguerite Duras about writing. She speaks a lot about the solitude of the writer. I understand profoundly what she is referring to. The actual act of writing, sitting in a chair, at a table with pen and paper or a computer is very solitary. Only you can…
I sold a book yesterday. I didn't even talk to the person about it. Oh! I had an amazing encounter with her, a great conversation and a filled-with-humanity hug at the end. It's her daughter, who is one of my friend, that told her that I wrote a book. She didn't even know the story…
I know there are still a few days to go. But I want to celebrate my victory. I made it through letter V. On the days when all I felt was crying, I wrote. When all I wanted was to stay silent because there was no words, I wrote. I haven't post about Camp NaNoWriMo…
No I haven't slipped a french word in my english A to Z. (I have plenty of opportunity on my french blog to do so.) What is a raisonneur? It's a person in a play or a book embodying author's viewpoint. Isn't it interesting? That kind of role was encountered most frequently in European plays of…
Where is she gone?? After an intense month of April, it seems like I disappeared for a week. But I'm not gone. No, no! I am participating in the writing of a short story with 12 amazing persons. I have the great privilege to be #3 on the short list and will post tomorrow CHapter…
QUIZZICAL 1. Suggesting puzzlement; questioning. 2. Teasing; mocking. 3. Eccentric; odd. The definition I prefer: questioning and mocking or supercilious a quizzical look. I read a lot of book in english and I take notes of words that I find interesting, hoping I might use them in a future story. QUIZZICAL is one of them. Actually it's the only one…
I had to think a bit for this letter. There are so many words that touches my muse and makes her vibrate and pull strings of inspiration. The word ESCAPE creates images from the past of moments of simple freedom and joy. But which image could I have chosen for our little exercise? I looked…
Like many child, I dreamt a lot. Eyes wide open, day and night. I didn’t sleep much. I lived with fairies hidden in flowers and trees; wolves in my closet; pirates under my bed. I dreamt of other parents, other friends, of having brothers to protect me. I grew up and continue to dream. Today…
What else would I choose for the letter A? I thought it would be a great opportunity to share where AMBROZYA came from and to introduce her properly. In Mythology, AMBROSIA is a substance made of honey, with a delicious taste and perfume served as food to the gods of Olympus, and providing immortality to…
