Apprendre à écrire
Quand j’étais à l’école, la rédaction était sans doute mon sujet préféré et celui qui m’apportait les meilleures notes. Étais-je un raconteur d’histoire ? Je ne suis pas très sur, mais j’adorais écrire. Je n’ai malheureusement jamais maîtrisé cette matière, mais si je m’y étais appliqué d’avantage et avais reçu une formation plus avancée, je crois que j’aurai pu m’améliorer considérablement. Il y a plus de trente ans, lorsque je suis arrivé aux Etats-Unis, j’étais terrifié à l’idée de devoir écrire en Anglais, et tout particulièrement des lettres d’affaires ou des notes de service. Tout naturellement, après un peu de temps et beaucoup d’erreurs, la qualité de mes écrits s’améliorait au point que je commençais à y prendre un certain plaisir et faisait de mon mieux pour parfaire les documents que je produisait. Dans l’intervalle, mon français prenait un congé sabbatique et à part quelques lettres et notes que je griffonnais à l’intention de ma famille, je n’écrivais quasiment plus dans ma langue natale. Il y a environ deux ans, alors que je quittais mon activité professionnelle, je me demandais ce que j’allais bien pouvoir faire. Je pensais alors que l’écriture pourrait être une voie me permettant de canaliser mon potentiel créatif et je me préparais à faire le plongeon. J’avais déjà une longue liste d’idées amassées au fil des ans et pensais alors qu’il me suffirait d’en choisir une pour en faire... Un livre. Mon dieu, que j’étais naïf ! J’avais simplement oublié que – tout comme pour la course a pied, qui est ma passion – il me fallait d’abord développer une discipline pour l’écriture et en faire une véritable habitude. Le résultat fut que mes bonnes intentions restèrent juste cela pendant dix-huit mois, jusqu’au jour où, en Mars 2007, je rompais mon tendon d’achille en skiant. Mon handicap temporaire me donnait alors l’occasion de rédiger un «blog» quotidien qui allait être bilingue (anglais et français) afin de me réconcilier avec la langue de Molière que j’avais si longtemps ignoré. Depuis, il y a eu des hauts et des bas dans l’écriture et la publication de mes blogs, mais récemment, je suis devenu plus assidu afin d’en assurer une parution assez régulière. Maintenant, je prends un véritable plaisir à composer mes articles, j’y pense la nuit, je recherche bien les sujets, et compte bientôt étendre cette activité à d’autres formes de publications!
