A year later…

12/02/2019 by Dane Leave a Comment

Here I am again after a year of pause and reflection!

Over the past year, I’ve read a lot of articles on blogs. They were, for the most part, very good; they gave a lot of ideas and advice on all aspects of writing.

I’ve written a lot. I reworked; my texts, the choice of words, the tone, the syntax; looked for the best photos, retouching them, creating montages… to, finally, never push on the ”publish” button.

Being told and told over and over again; when to write, how to write, what, how many words; how important it is to have impeccable language and content that must be perfect, at what time I should publish. I have come to stop publishing and wait for perfection. For whom and why? I don’t know.

But, is it really that bad if it’s not perfect every time? What if I don’t always have long texts and perfect photos? If my English is more Québécois than what is suggested?

Honestly? No, it’s okay. And that, I discovered it when I read Anick Lemay’s notebooks in the web magazine Urbania. I really liked her writing style. She writes her texts as if she were sending you a letter, to you, her old friend. If you haven’t had a chance to read her story (she found out she had cancer), check out Urbania’s website, it’s really worth it.

I spent more time fine-tuning than I spent writing. In the end, I wasn’t tempted to write anymore, and I think it’s sad. I had put so much effort into setting up a website that I found beautiful…

Then summer arrived, with its beautiful big sunshine and warm days, the garden, the flower beds…

When you live in Quebec and are wrapped up five months a year. It feels so good to go out and feel the sun … So much happiness! And I took full advantage of it!

I sincerely believe that it was a break that was beneficial. I have started writing again and I have several projects in mind that I look forward to show you to.

Thank you for being here and see you soon,

Dane : -)

Helllooo!!!!

I’m so glad you stopped by . If this is your first visit, welcome to my universe!

Maybe we know each other in the real world or we’ ll get to know each other in the virtual world.

If we don’t know each other yet, here are some of the words that best describe me or that have a great importance in my life. (Have you ever done this exercise before? It’s a nice challenge to do, you should try it).

Being in a good mood: Because life is too short and it’s too complicated to be in a bad mood… hahahahahaha!!!!

Camping/chalet : where to escape and complete happiness

Environment : It’s so important, we can’t say it enough!

Family: My boyfriend, my son and my daughter. My core, my balance.

Nature: The sun, the wind, the rain, the snow, the trees, the plants, the good weather… the bad weather too. Because it takes a beautiful combination for there to be life.

Sinfulness: Soft ice cream in a waffle cone. It’s heavenly!

Respect: It’s the foundation of everything!

Aging: It’s part of life. It’s a privilege that many people haven’t had.

Travelling: Especially to discover cultures and people, but it often rhymes with sunshine and warmth 😉

That’s what it’s all about! So enjoy your reading and see you soon!
