english inspiration
it's been a while I haven't written anything in English. Not sure this will ever happen again. I leave this page open just in case the inspiration comes back, but I prefer now to write in French.
There are enough English-speaking blogs in this world. In addition, it's getting increasingly difficult for me to give up my mother language. I don't like the style of my English writings either, as it remains to me more of a business use (although those who know me might argue that I speak English in my personal life as well).
Other cultural reasons lead me to believe that the French-speaking readers are more likely to read this blog. Opinions are always welcome on this topic.
