(a literary room on the internet)
monologues journaliers is a house for writing. Its living room, Le ⊙Cercle, is open: it’s where we meet to write together.
Writing is the thread that runs through everything I do. Most of what I write never leaves the silent monologue of my notebooks; in November, I start my first manuscript with Lolita Pille’s Groupe Manuscrit. Here, I open the door.
02 · (The house)
Every room has its use. Only one is open for now; the others are being built.

La Table
the kitchen, where mind-bending conversations will happen around good food.
03 · (The living room · Le ⊙Cercle)
An hour to write together, in silence.
We sit down at the table together and write: your book, your journal, that piece you’ve been putting off for months. There’s nothing to know, only to show up. Co-writing hours are free, twice a month.

- 01(Here, writing is)
a practice, playful and fun, something we return to, more alive when shared.
- 02(It is not)
a performance, a writing course, a place where you need to know what you’re doing.
- 03(I am not)
a writing teacher, a therapist, a content creator.
I’m an aspiring writer in practice, too.
(What carries us)
06 · (Where it comes from)
monologues journaliers was born in 2021, with deep questions asked to strangers on stories, then a deck of question cards that travelled all around Europe. Today it’s no longer a house of tools to get to know yourself: it’s a space to write, in community. Here, we are writers because we write.
The cards and the seven days of meditation are still in the shop.
Come in, take a seat. There’s always room for you in this house.
