Hello dear subscribers and friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you\u2019re all right. Time flies, have you had time to do everything you planned to do in February?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for me, I have finished writing the new chapters of the translation of Poussi\u00e8res de toi\/Dust Of You, and I have also finished proofreading the English version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows me to enjoy some time with my sons during this week of vacation. I\u2019m a bit behind schedule in my writing, but I\u2019ll be able to concentrate on my 8th novel next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t wait to get back to my characters. It\u2019s crazy, as soon as I leave them for more than a week, I miss them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know how you build your characters, fellow writers, but for me, it\u2019s more about meeting than creating. I don\u2019t create the character, he\/she comes to visit me so that I can tell his\/her story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes I make a descriptive note like for the Chronicles of a Machiavellian Princess (because there are many of them), to remind me of the smallest details of his\/her life, details that he\/she whispers in my ear, but most of the time, it\u2019s a kind of communion. When I write with my characters, I become \u201cthem\u201d and I know the depths of their souls without having to think. It\u2019s like suddenly I melt, I\u2019m possessed by their spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when I\u2019m alone with myself, sometimes I feel empty, and lost, and the absence is there\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I can\u2019t wait till next week to get back to J. and S., my two main characters.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
