Why the blog...


Facts: I'm 28, half French and half American, attempting to do a doctorate in whilst figuring out what I want from and in life, divorced from a loving husband, burned again and again and still distilling those wise words that: a wild thing does not feel self-pity. Since I have been through the roughest time of my life in the past 3 years, I want... no I need to build something constructive which will ground myself, avoid insanity in the bubble of academia and be a goal I can focus on.

Aim: (please do not squint!) Write a book. I have a couple chapters stored up on the hard-drive. The novel doesn't seem real unless I send it out on its own to fend for itself and be subjected to harsh criticism by ruthless strangers.

Invitation: If there are any of you who feel as though they want to take part in a group effort, are generous enough to do so freely and interested enough to read what I post each week, then join me, please.

Bonus: I will incorporate your ideas and your critiques in my writing day by day so that you may see (hopefully), a work in progress.

ps: I started this blog when I was 25. Lets see what 2013 brings.
