Lately with my novel Healers I've been hitting a pretty big block: my antagonist doesn't make sense. I was so busy fleshing out my two main characters that I forgot to empathise with my villain. Since I'm rewriting the scenes that lead to the climax, I find that his motivations are not clear at [...]
Hi guys! There's been a lot of things happening lately, so I have updated my website to make it easier to navigate. I've added a page "Media" where you can find my interviews and links to the blogs I was featured in. I have also reached the incredible number of 10'000 followers on Twitter! That's [...]
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've posted on this blog. Since NaNoWriMo, I've had a lot on my plate and I didn't have much time to do any writing, let alone blogging. Hopefully, this changes from now! This coming month, you will see a lot of updates from me, as I'm working on [...]
Hi everyone, You probably have seen it on my social media accounts: I did it! I won NaNoWriMo 2017! Once again, I reached the 50K goal!!! This year was a really difficult one. I felt like I had no time for writing and I really had to push my limits to make it. However, I'm [...]

At the beginning of this month, I explained how I was planning my first round of revisions that is going to lead to the second draft of my novel. The first step was to print the first draft, read it and make a lot of notes. I'm almost done with this step (4 chapters left [...]
I haven't posted on this blog for a little while, but I have a good excuse: I was working hard on my novel! Thanks to the July Camp NaNoWriMo, I finally finished the first draft on July 30th: It felt SO good to finally put an end to that book, even if just the [...]

Please read, share and comment (directly on the website). As [...]
Hi everyone, It's been a few weeks since I last posted here. I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy a well deserved holiday, with a total break from writing. Now, it's already the end of June, which means that my short story "Behavioural Surgery" will be available soon on the website of Flash [...]
