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.

  • And then you blink

    And more than a month passed without writing — at least, without writing here. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been deep in the Story Genius practice. I now have a nearly complete blueprint — in bullet points and ideas — for not one but two books. I’m currently working through the final exercise: drafting…

  • Fall

    Yesterday evening I’ve fallen in love with Tristan Miles in Paris. I’ve slept less two hours than I should for that. And today I am back to rainy Amsterdam, an impossible jet lag and my two wild kids. Reality is difficult, reality post-vacations is dreadful. So I have books, and while I have books I…

  • Premonitions

    I would not call it exactly a premonition, but sometimes I know, somewhere in my gut, that certain things are going to happen. I knew the day my mother tried to kill herself. I was at the bottom of the stairs, all dressed up to have my birthday lunch with my father, and when she…

  • Scotland

    A part of my soul resides in Scotland, it’s now my belief. After another 5 days of driving in the Highlands, I can confirm this will not be the last time I do it. Actually, this was the second time of many that will follow. It is unclear at this point whether it is the…

  • Another month, another book

    Still not feeling ready to move, I may be procrastinating. But nearly zero words were written again.I want to believe, since the story keeps brewing in my mind, that this is the process of the first book. The following books will move faster, right?

  • Soulful lines

    There’s nothing more life-consuming than an idea when you only have one.It’s scary, really, the time you spend thinking about the same thing over and over again until there’s nothing else.

    Nothing can crush your soul faster than an eight-hour corporate strategy meeting.

  • I did it…

    …I have officially two (almost completed) books in the plotboard. The process was less than seamless, but as always in my life, I’ve discovered my exact mix between extreme organization and intuition. Meaning, the two steps back I took after half a book written (only by gut feeling), was the correct thing to do. Now…

  • Frameworks are necessary

    I understand the world better when I have rules, procedures, guidelines. Anything that I can follow and understand. Embarking on this creative journey was (without a doubt) one of the more daunting things I ever decided to do. And to be honest, I was lost.After taking online courses, conducting research, and attending webinars, I still…
