Imagine a universe, draw it in your mind, to appreciate every detail...
When you write a novel, when you manage to align several sentences, one after the other, to put the story on paper, it is because you have already created it with your imagination.
When I was a little girl, 'Peter Pan' was one of my favorite movies because I believed that one day, I would have the chance to fly to Neverland... A dream that had never left me for years!
Today, when I think about that period of my childhood, I realise how lucky children are to be able to dream and create such extraordinary things. When you are a child, the world where you live seems wonderful and everything seems possible... Children naturally have this amazed and sparkling look at the world around them!
To create the universe of a novel, the writer must rediscover this child's gaze; he must be able to really see the world around him and be inspired by it, without ever losing this glimmer of wonder in his eyes... Then, he will discover a new, and more magical, vision of everything around him!
This magic of Life will nourish his imagination...
To see the world in all its magic is to realise that nothing is random. It means understanding that every situation we live has a purpose. Seeing the world with this new vision allows us to feel this connection with the Universe, which is certainly the greatest and most beautiful source of Inspiration.
Feeling this connection allows us to feel Inspiration.
An artist, a writer, a musician, who chooses to see the world with this different look, will feel inspired every day and all the works he will create will seem obvious to him: everything he lives will seem obvious to him...
Inspiration allows Imagination,
Imagination allows Creation,
Creation allows Connection,
A connection to Self, to the Universe,
To the person we are, to the deepest,
Of ourselves, of our soul...
