I worked for a long time in the world <strong>technological<\/strong> and commercial, where efficiency reigns and language contracts. It is precisely this tension between <strong>logic<\/strong> and sensitivity that brought me back to writing, not to convince, but to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-medium-font-size\">I write as one explores a <strong>inner world<\/strong> with shifting contours. Sometimes a critical observer, sometimes a craftsman of emotions, I compose stories where the intimate meets the universal, where silences often say more than words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-medium-font-size\">Here fragments of <strong>fiction<\/strong>, unpretentious reflections, sometimes dark, often lucid, always sincere. This blog is not a showcase: it is an open workshop, a place for exchanges, essays, research. You may perceive it as a reflection, a point of support. For me, it is a mirror plunging into the heart of my being and my imagination, where waking dreams are born.<br>Welcome, dear curious reader, regular passenger, or occasional visitor. Whether these texts speak to you, shock you, or simply accompany you: the essentials are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-small-font-size\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mon parcours n\u2019est pas celui d\u2019un \u00e9crivain \u00ab professionnel \u00bb \u2014 et tant mieux.
