Folktales weren’t always cheerful stories to entertain. Sometimes, they were harsh and dark for they needed to be scary to teach a valuable lesson. For instance, every young girl needed to fear the big bad wolf in the woods, i.e. the deceitful man in society that could bring dishonor to her family’s reputation if she trusted him too easily. Shocking images used to be the brand mark of all didactic stories. Isn’t that right, Mr. Charles Perrault?

It’s already March 2024. Spring is here, and I feel it’s the start of the new year. The last two months have been like passing the threshold, and now, I can focus on my new year’s objectives, mostly writing and reading.

One word for me this year is “courage.” To be brave to commit to leaving the past behind, become softer, and more forgiving. Easier said than done, I know. But I will give it my best. According to an advice I followed, my feminine energy i...

And another year is about to wrap up! I hope yours was eventful, with wins and lessons. Remember, either you win or you learn. We need both to have a fulfilling life. So, it’s time to celebrate! Share what you are celebrating with me in the comments, or send me an email here. I’d love to hear it and celebrate with you!

I’ve been busy since the end of the year.

I am editing a novel that is dear to my heart with my “Brilliant Editor.” Set in magical Morocco, a...

The first example that comes to mind… It is never too late to post this October 2023 update!

I could have given up and told myself, “Monthly updates should be done during the first days of the month, not closer to the middle or end.” But I didn’t. I accepted the fact that this month would be different, but great nonetheless.

Last month, I started the Rooted Writers Membership with Dani Abernathy. It’s a wonderful community of writers. Last week, at the ...

It’s September! Happy Birthmonth to my Canadian cousin! Last month’s plan didn’t work out the way I thought it would. As they say, you either win or learn…

It has been a year already since I moved out of the place I’ve been living in for more than a decade.

This year, full of changes, twists, and turns, made me realize that anything is possible and that change can happen in a second. One day I was sitting on my couch in Pennsylvania, and a minut...

Last month, it was time to follow my own star, and it led me straight to this month’s motto, do what makes me happy. You guessed it right; it’s going to be all about writing and stories.

My writing adventure on Thread continues… I challenged myself to post every day about the stories I am crafting, and so far, so good. I met new writers that also share about their writing updates. To be surrounded by like-minded people, despite being in different parts of the world, is a great feeling....

It has been a long time since my last update. Life happened, but writing was never far off my mind, or my hand.

After a year of trials, changing homes and countries, switching jobs and careers, I can now focus on my author career, and make it a priority. Thank you; you must be applauding my decision just as I did. I even celebrated by watching a cozy mystery.

I’d like to take you with me on my writing journey. Yesterday, I finished a new manuscript. This draft needs editing, of cour...

Summer arrived bringing happy moments. I hope it did for all of you as well. I got to visit a new place and have new projects.

Family brag: My nephew graduated high school and became an Eagle Scout. I couldn’t be prouder.

After a year – literally a year (yes, yes, I mean literally) – hidden at home, the world opened up and I finally ventured out. My first trip took me to Amsterdam, New York. The hotel’s name was Amsterdam Castle. You would think the name was an obvious hint...

Last year has been hard, bad, and terrifying. But in the middle of chaos, I found hands stretched all around the world to help me out. Yes, they were virtual hands at first. Then I saw faces, and finally, I made friends. With them came inspiration and a new mindset filled with gratefulness and thanks.

I met exceptional people through online classes, webinars, and virtual workshops. At first, we were all showing up looking our best, with our make-up veil ...
