Torche olympique

Hier, j’ai porté la flamme olympique à Valence, et c’était vraiment très cool ! Là, c’est moi avec la flamme, dans le centre des relayeurs, histoire d’avoir une photo avant de démarrer. (Pour la « lettre de motivation » qui m’a valu ça, avec le soutien de Meta et de Coca-Cola, c’est par ici.) Ensuite,…

Une petite histoire en 20 ans

Vingt ans d’histoire sur glace (et surtout à côté), en 500 mots tout pile, qui m’ont servi de « lettre de motivation » pour porter la flamme olympique, ce que j’ai finalement fait hier à Valence. À quinze ans, après avoir fêté mon premier podium national en senior, j’ai quitté le foyer familial, arrêté l’école,…

a break from blogging?

after writing every day for a month, I feel like the blog came to a brutal stop recently. I didn’t even do the Europe2024 recap post, and let’s not even mention all the other kinds of blogging. I haven’t been interacting much with other people’s blogs either. there’s a pretty big change going on in…

i’m closing un genre à soi

thanks to James’s thoughts on spring cleaning, I’ve decided to finally put an end to this long-suffering project. Un genre à soi could have been something good, but i never invested enough time and energy to make it work; I’m giving it up before closing it, in case someone else wants to do something good…

book reviews up to date, woo

i am finally up to date on my book reviews! good thing i haven’t read anything worth writing about in ten days, i guess?

leap

today was a really long, fulfilling but exhausting, day. I wanted to do « delete your drafts » day and tell you all about it. I went through every one of my drafts and decided to keep the ones I am still excited about writing. That’s 11, with all of the 2020-2022 drafts gone. Of course, by…

Light anxiety around writing for January 2024

I’ve gotten a bit lost in the past few days, because of a small surge at work and of the États Généraux de l’Information weekend (it was great!). I’m late on quite a few things related to writing, notably: My participation for the IndieWeb carnival on the topic of positive internalisation: I’ve had my idea…

i can now announce it :)
