My goal to start writing in French while still living in the USA has fallen flat. Doing so is about as easy as raising a bilingual child when only one of the parents speaks the other language.
And yet, writing in French for the last few months has taken my writing in a new direction. It has led me to focus on the crucial importance of context and of narrative structures such as the hero/heroine’s journey and hybrid forms.
My newest short story in English, a fiction hybrid entitled “Blue Frog Looking for Her Words,” is a direct result of my dabbling in both languages at once. It will be published in the September 2024 issue of Wild Roof Journal. Much gratitude to Aaron Lelito and his team!

Hello Dominique ,
go on writing please, in any language , French or English. Of course I will préfère reading you in French but never mind. I understand you can’t write by the same way in both langages.
Best to you
Nadine (from “le Moderne”😉)
