Will you take a piece of Hell ?
We all died, morally, symbolically, emotionally once in our real life. We’ve been crashed, sometimes by terrible events, sometimes by a sort of invisible hand of evil over our destinies. From now on, let’s write beautiful pages of a unique masterpiece that is called : Our life.
Each page, for everyone of us
It could be easy to blame it on education, as it is commonly admitted. Blame it on parents, on culture, on social traditions. On individual limits or psychological flaws. On shyness and personal weakness.
Thruth, it seems to me, is that it relates to so much deeper layers of the human and animals minds.
Flying
If you are an artist, chances are you are a perfectionnist, an obsessed soul always in search of gold. Well, I am. So let’s celebrate together a simple truth : we’ll never get a hundred per cent satisfied. Nothing we’ll ever write will meet all of our expectations.
Some might, a few lines and pages may pass the cut, and even bear the test of time. But so few indeed. So let’s open our eyes once for all on this.
The art of reading
The screenwriting litterature is abundant in saying all screnwriters should hone their craft by reading and writing.
And this of course, every single day of a somehow strange life. Write every day for sure. Read every day : fiction books, newspaper, scripts, good and bad, more books from classicals to contemporary, read all formats, train your reading muscles.
But the biggest skill of all, and this one I never see underlined in these books, is to read what you write.
Being true to the story
Writing is about being simple and true to the story. And then being able to deliver a mind and heart blowing experience to the audience. These are two absolutely different aspects of the process. The first requires a personal and humble clarity of mind. The …
Northbound : strength and doubt
It maybe doubt, hesitation, confusion. It maybe a few questions, self reflections that have not come into full light. We can name it the lively processing part of ourselves, seeds slowly coming to conscious and maturity. It is the time before the harvest. I might …
Scope, descent, elevation : the symbolism of spaces
It’s been a long time since I wanted to post a note about this. I wanted it to be perfect, full of meaning and precise. But as you know, perfection means never, in a writer’s language. As a great master once stated « There is …
Bienvenue !
Bienvenue à vous dans ce nouvel espace, et en particulier à tous ceux qui m’ont suivi depuis writeorwrong, les histoires font la loi.
J’ai souhaité ici mieux mettre en valeur textes et réflexions et surtout offrir un espace plus convivial à ceux d’entre vous qui voudront partager expérience ou vision dans les guest posts.
Le projet de ce blog est désormais d’adopter un esprit collaboratif, de devenir un lieu d’échanges et de relations. Je souhaite que ce bout de net soit un lieu vivant où la passion, la bonne humeur et l’audace dans la réflexion pourront s’épanouir.
Enrichir nos outils individuels, faire vivre ensemble nos projets, constituer des équipes créatives ambitieuses, ouvrir la dramaturgie sur des territoires nouveaux…sky is the limit !
Bonne écriture à tous.

Lonely process, sharing and collaborative minds…
One coffee, one script.
Each morning is a new day of passion. We are writers, lovers, hard workers. We search, create, imagine.
Heart and brain dedicated to make screenwriting not only a richer and deeper process but somehow a tool for discoveries.
The realm of stories is all secrets and mysteries, and we stand at the treshold…
