Introduction to the logbook

I'm taking a few minutes to write this post

As I write these words, I feel like a prisoner or an illegal immigrant taking advantage of a drop in the vigilance of his guards to communicate with the outside world for a short time. In reality, it's a bit like that, although I'm not complaining. How could I? It is both my choice and my drug to create. But as with any addiction, is it really a choice to have fallen into it?

The preparations for the "Fates" have occupied my time since the summer and have devoured it all for the last two months. My brain is completely subjugated to them and my physical strength, alienated. For the moment, I'm not doing too badly and I'm managing to stay on course. By this I mean that I manage, in addition to the necessary "fabrications", to push away the desires of realizations that would be too much beyond me in this context, but by which I would have let myself be tempted before, putting then greatly in danger my boat and sometimes, as it happened in the past, my health itself. I will try to expose this in detail on occasion, because the crazy behaviors imposed by the requirement, deserve to be described, if only for what they fatally bring important discoveries for its own development. Nevertheless, I have reserved my share of daily tasks to reach the depth of the project and my schedule, full as an egg, does not allow me to take a step aside under penalty of risking a vertiginous fall.

Having lurked around these cavities and along these steep paths for some twenty years, which I could almost consider as a scouting, I take my creative paths knowing that they border on the abyss.

For the time being, I am able to contain the urgency, but I cannot risk indulging in long literary presentations as I sometimes do to express my thoughts more accurately. Still, wanting to have the latitude of a parallel expression to what occupies me daily, if only to distance myself a little from the subject matter, I'm thinking of keeping a logbook during the tiny two months that separate me from the event at the Generator. This will be the introduction.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I have created a facebook page dedicated to David Noir Production on which I will put online extracts and images of my work that you will not find on the site. If you like it, don't hesitate to "like" the page, it will only help its evolution. I have also naturally created an event with Le Générateur, linked to this page to announce "The Fates of Attraction. I would like to thank those who have registered, with a special warm thought for those who attend workshops and courses with me, because it is infinitely touching and gratifying in my position to have such spontaneous feedback from our exchanges through work.

That's all for today.

So see you soon, for "The Journal of the Fates", which I plan to start on the 1ster March.
