Reboot
Hello again, world. Il est temps de relancer l’activité de ce blog. Cela fait des mois, voire des années que je n’ai rien publié et je me rends compte qu’un bon petit bout de chemin a été parcouru pendant ce temps. J’arrive au terme des deux années de formation continue à l’École de Traduction Littéraire en partenariat avec l’ASFORED et le CNL. J’avoue que cette activité venant s’ajouter un samedi sur deux à mon exercice de traductrice freelance m’a grandement mobilisée. Maintenant que le mémoire de fin de stage est rendu...
++Wordle Surprise
Today is Blogathon Wordle day! Here is the result for my blog: Funny, as I did not realize I had been talking so much about the Waldgänger e-book series (just 1 post)… Since I’m blogging both in French & English, Wordle could only delete the common words for 1 language, I tried to delete the most of it manually. It’s the first time I’m using Wordle and it’s quite interesting as it can help you point out things you write about without even realizing it. I should do it on a regular basis. Are you happy with your Wordle today? You might also like other...
++5 Blogathoners’ posts about books
During this second Blogathon week, I read 5 posts about books that I found especially interesting.

Librarian & book reviewer Katy Mank made me discover a French book I had not heard about previously, but that looks like a really nice read. Communications strategist and...
++Meet the Blogathoners
Since the vast majority of Blogathoners blogs in English, I’ll write this post in English too. This year, there are over 200 particpants in the Wordcount Blogathon. Participating myself, it’s not always easy to find time to blog and to read & comment on others’. In these first few Blogathon days, here are those who retained my attention (I’m sure there will be tons of others as days go by). Independent business editor, reporter and blogger Michelle Rafter posts news, tips and advice for self-employed writers & has been hosting the Wordcount Blogathon challenge since...
++3, 2, 1, go !
Et voilà, premier jour du Blogathon 2012, premier billet. Que diable allait-elle faire dans cette galère ? Bonne question. Surtout quand on vient de lire un billet intitulé The case against blogging. Dans cet article, les arguments sont tous valables. Jusqu’ici, mon blog était vraiment le mauvais exemple dont Karen Tkaczyk parle : un blog avec un post tous les 6 mois (et parfois encore moins que ça), des billets qui parlent un peu de tout et de rien, sans réel focus… Bref, un truc qui servait franchement à pas grand-chose. Ce Blogathon arrive donc à point nommé pour moi....
