⁠ First blog post of 2022! 🥳⁠ ⁠ I can't stress enough how excited I am about this new year. ⁠ ⁠ For the very first time for a while now I feel confident in my life choices. ⁠ ⁠ Without further ado, I invite you to click on the link in the bio to discover my New Year's resolutions as a debut author!⁠ ⁠ Looking forward to reading you,⁠ ⁠ Agnès⁠ 🖤⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #debutauthor #horrorwriter #horrorbook #novelist #resolutions #newyear2022 #horrorauthor #horrorgram #gothgirl #writerslife #writerofig #bookstagram #bookstagramfrance #ecrivainfrancais #écrivainfrançais #booklover #writerscommunity #newyearsresolutions #booklovers https://www.instagram.com/p/CYWhgrmMk31/?utm_medium=tumblr

⁠ Mes chers,⁠ ⁠ After months of shutdown due to covid, I was super excited to take my first Ballet class of 2022 and... wow, I can definitely feel it! 🥴⁠ ⁠ As an introvert, I don't go out much and didn't realize until today that I am, in fact, in terrible shape. I really need to take care of my body, as I tend to focus on my mind...⁠ ⁠ You know, the notorious "so many books, so little time..." 😍⁠ ⁠ From this point forward, I'll commit to physical activity, starting with Ballet and figure skating! 🩰⛸️🥰⁠ ⁠ To make sure I stick to my resolutions, I'll document my (humble!) achievements. See you on the other side!⁠ ⁠ Oh! and yep: you are allowed to laugh! 😁⁠ ⁠ What about you: any sport-related resolutions this year so we may support each other?⁠ ⁠ Looking forward to reading you,⁠ ⁠ Agnès⁠ 🖤⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #danseclassique #danseclassiqueaddict #danseclassiqueadultes #balletclass #adultballet #adultballerina #adultsdancetoo #iceskatingfun #iceskaters #iceskate #figureskaterfitness #figureskatinglove #adultsfigureskatetoo #frenchie #frenchauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CYT527jML-_/?utm_medium=tumblr

⁠ Mes chers,⁠ ⁠ 2022 just started and I want to share with you my top 5 wishes and/or goals for my writing career for this year:⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ I wish more than anything to sign a book deal for my debut Horror novel: the manuscript will be sent to several French major publishing companies this month... Fingers crossed! 🖤⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ My main writing goal this quarter is to complete the draft of my second novel by April. ⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ I've set up a monthly bilingual newsletter entitled 'A Descent into the Maelström' - titled so because of Edgar Allan Poe's short story! 😋 - and aspire to grow my mailing list this year.⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ I publish a new article on my blog every Wednesday; last month was crazy, so I'm a bit behind schedule, but a new article will be published every Wednesday starting next week.⁠ ⁠ 5️⃣ I saved the best for last: I'm thrilled to announce that I've created a discussion forum on my author website! 🥳⁠ ⁠ Its primary goal is to welcome readers from all over the world to share together our love of literature, art, science, and so much more.⁠ ⁠ An English-speaking section will be up soon, so you may join and meet fellow readers! 🖤⁠ ⁠ Voilà !⁠ ⁠ I hope you are as excited as I am about this new year! Do you have set any goals for 2022? ⁠ ⁠ Looking forward to reading you,⁠ ⁠ Agnès⁠ 🖤 . . . . . #authorofhorror #writerslife #writerofig #horrorbook #horrorwriter #frenchwriter #frenchauthor #aspiringauthor #newyear2022 #librarynerd #booklover #bookstagram #bookstagramfrance #écrivain #ecrivainfrancais #écrivainfrançais https://www.instagram.com/p/CYPbxBIu4p8/?utm_medium=tumblr

⁠ Mes chers,⁠ ⁠ As I was talking with a friend about our respective dream houses (she is currently looking for a farmhouse in which she'll raise her baby girl. She's already picturing the marks on the bedroom door as her daughter is growing up... Isn't it the most beautiful thing ever?), I told her mine would be a black wooden Victorian mansion.⁠ ⁠ She almost choked on her mille-feuille cake.⁠ ⁠ 'Black, as in "BLACK"?', she asked.⁠ ⁠ Yup.⁠ ⁠ A black wooden Victorian mansion. With hidden passages, and secret doors, and a giant library, and surrounded by nothing but trees. ⁠ Oh! and possibly haunted, but we'd make it work.⁠ ⁠ The more the merrier, right? 😋⁠ ⁠ Obviously, she had no idea what I was talking about -I don't blame her- so I started looking online for some examples and... BAM!⁠ ⁠ The 'Scooby-Doo' Mansion on the Hill appeared.⁠ ⁠ This beautiful black wooden mansion entirely remodeled by @pennyblackinteriors is THE perfect example of my dream house! ⁠ Stewart Horner, co-founder and principal designer of Penny Black Interiors, is a pure genius and I can't stress enough how much I admire his work. ⁠ ⁠ Anyway, my friend laughed -with me or at me, that is the question- and ended our discussion with the infamous 'you didn't change a bit, did you?'⁠ ⁠ I guess not! 😅⁠ ⁠ What about your dream house? Tell me! ⁠ ⁠ Looking forward to reading you,⁠ ⁠ Agnès⁠ 🖤⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dreamhousedesign #dreamhousedecoration #dreamhouses #dreamhouse #dreamhouseinteriorandfurniture #victorianstyle #victorianhouse #victorianrenovation #victorianhome #victorianarchitecture #blackwoodenhouse #blackhouse #blackhouses #horrorwriter #horrorbook #horrorauthor #horrorgram #horrorgirl #gothgirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRkhoJuBj0/?utm_medium=tumblr
