Foreword
When we wrote a foreword? At the beginning? At the end? It seems to me that this is the end, when the entire text was written and the author may finally have an overview of his work.
As I am doing nothing like everyone else, I write this foreword nor before writing the following text and even less at the end. I wrote it when I was somewhere between chapters 7 and 8.
What does it in a foreword? Hemingway said he should always start from the beginning. That makes sense, but it does not help me. Stephen King said he must always tell the truth when writing. I'm going to blend the two and start with the truth:
Everything you read in these pages is based on a background of reality. I have not written anything that is invented from A to Z. When you read a chapter, you say that most of the situations described, funny or less funny, took place. The characters are obviously not as described in the text. Otherwise, the ins and outs, got out of my imagination and could happen, and sometimes, often, I would have preferred that it ends as I write. That's the advantage of creating: chance is not involved.
So I started. I wrote a chapter entitled spring returns. Born from an observation I made in passing a café terrace in a particularly temperate winter day and sunny. Then the people I read on the forum's website The Lair Of Motorcyclists asked me afterwards. So I wrote chapter two, then three. Then for convenience I created the character of Kevin. I have no idea where this will take me or how and when it will end. I manhandles according to my mood. I guess it will end when Kevin Arai me his stick across his face and I mean that he is tired of suffering the insults of his creator and Lynn begging me to save her beloved chick and let them live in peace, or when you, readers, tell me:
Stop! You we drunk with your chick.
