2022 Goals – Business & Writing
The new year is already here, and I’m trying very hard not to think about how it feels like a “twenty twenty too” kind of year. Things are getting out of hands with the pandemic, again, but that doesn’t mean that we should just give up on 2022 already !

NaNoWriMo 2021 : Week 4 (The End)
This year’s NaNoWriMo is officially done !

NaNoWriMo 2021 : Week 3
How is NaNoWriMo going for you this year ? Do you belong to the elite who has already finished the challenge ? No ? Me neither haha. This week has been tough, to be honest.

How I’m trying to get out of my writing slump
Let’s be honest, it’s been months that I’m in a writing slump. The beginning of 2021 was fire though : I published my collection of poems, wrote the first draft of what would be either the first part of a novel or the first volume of a two-volume series and started writing the second partContinue reading “How I’m trying to get out of my writing slump”

When you’re in the mood for writing on paper
As an author in 2021, I have to admit that most of my writings are done on my computer. But from time to time, I like to go back to the old pen and paper combo, because it feels different. When I came back to poetry in 2020, I started by writing in a notebook.Continue reading “When you’re in the mood for writing on paper”
