feisty mind

Between real and magic, I am oh-so many things: aspiring author, witch, mother, sportswoman, ambitious corporate professional, feminine bitch, slightly crazy.

So this is not a perfectly curated life here, it’s messy. Some of us were not, indeed, built for still waters.

Here I lay it all down (or almost all): the questions that haunt me, the quiet truths that won’t let go, the books that change me, the words that keep me awake at night, and the worlds I long to live in.

Feisty mind. Restless soul. Always moving toward the next chapter.

  • Dead as an expiration date

    Betrayal should have an expiration date. How useless is it to feel betrayed by a dead person? Nobody tells you that death changes nothing for you in terms of emotions. Dead people can still hurt you, they can make you cry, and they for sure can make you feel ridiculous about all that. During all…

  • Organized blog, organized life

    This blog was a mess. Good to realize it 8 months after I started writing in it. I could not find a single thing! Very impractical since I use it to dump my mind, write book reviews, or vent about the writing process. Categories were created, messages fine-tuned, and everything is ready for the Social…

  • When a name just does not work

    I’ve been struggling with my protagonist’s name for a while now. I realized that her name, beautiful as it was, was not giving me the vibes I needed, and it was hampering my writing. It was not her, not aligned with the fire I wanted her to have. And I was struggling to keep it…

  • Time…

    …really flies. Vacations 2 weeks, friends coming over 1 week, London Book Fair another week.Words written in the last month? Zero. Knowledge about the book business? Much more than before.The book business is an actual business; who would have known? I’ve sure never thought about it before. Writing and reading were always for joy, pleasure,…

  • Doubts

    Doubt creeps in at every new fantastic book that I read. I would like to tell you that I am unrelentingly confident in my writing skills. I know the storyline and how complex and intricate it is, so I know it’s good. What I don’t know is if I will be capable of telling it. …

  • Choices

    At a certain point, I need to admit it; it’s either writing or reading.With the types of books I read, I cannot even pretend there’s some semblance of control. There isn’t; I submerge so deep in the book I read that I have no space for anything else. So I need to decide. Do I…

  • Bits of black

    There was always a darkness in me that I’d tried to escape, pretending it was not there. I noticed very early in life, barely an adolescent, that I tend to spiral downwards. For all my positivity and belief that all will eventually be well, I can deal with a great deal of pain. I not…

  • Manacled (part 2)

    By SenLinYu. Soundtrack, meaning the only music I’ve heard for the last week while reading: Voilà – André Rieu, Johann Strauss Orchestra, Emma Kok. As expected, this book masterpiece emotionally destroyed me – so much so that I feel the need to pour it all out – in words, tears, and quietness. It’s a physical…

  • Not working

    Writting only outside of the house is not working. It’s not enough time for consistent progress, so I need to come up with a better strategy. Failing is not an option.
