The after :

This afternoon, I read aloud to a young man an article from the feminist revolutions review La Déferlante. The article tells the exile and oppression experienced by Bushra Alzoubi and how she returned to Syria to visit her sister, from whom she had lost contact. This article, along with photos, can be found in issue 21, page 26, from February.

Céline Valette writing a text, thanks to the museum for the photo.

For the On International Women’s Day, I left a few words in an envelope at a photo exhibition dedicated to the artist Marilyn Monroe at the Saint Cyprien collections. Each participant was invited to compose few verses for this very important day; here are the few lines I wrote :

For everyone, my body, my choice is one of the battles you fought so hard for. For all the victories and obstacles encountered, I encourage you in all your progress.

Photos depicting Marilyn Monroe alone and at a meeting with her business partners, as she also held shares in companies related to the film industry. She was an actress who wrote scripts and planned for her financial future.

The performance that took place on November 19 at the Lion’s Club was an unforgettable moment. It was a friendly and enriching conversation around the literary work of one of my novels Fantastic L.A. This event took place as part of a charity event.

The session began with a concrete sharing of the creative process. Then it continued with a time of exchange, questions / answers with the participants in a warm atmosphere, it continued with a discussion. I thank all the participants. The event met an incredible success.

Forensic science

I used the knowledge I had acquired by enrolling in Forensic Science (University of Singapore), it gave me the necessary elements to develop Fantastic L.A, even if it is about a fantastic story. This information still helps me in my writing.

Playing with text

When I wrote Fantastic L.A, I played a lot with the characters and all the objects used to solve the riddle. For example, crosswords. While thinking about them, I did some research and discovered the origin of the first crosswords. On the original document, definitions and a grid. In the center the word : fun (joy in French).

With the definitions of the original document that you will find at the end of my post, I wrote this short poem :

What artists learn to do ?
