The Thinking Series

EVER WONDER WHAT SOMEONE'S REALLY THINKING?

This book answers that... probably too honestly.

A collection of thoughts, observations, and random realizations from a mind that refuses to sit still — honest, funny, and sometimes completely off the rails.

"Genuinely made me laugh out loud." — Amazon reader

About the Author

EMILE FOUGERE

Emile Fougere didn’t plan on becoming a writer — but here we are.

After years of music, life experience, and plenty of overthinking, he decided to start putting it all down on paper. What started during the chaos of the pandemic turned into something unexpected — honest, funny, and sometimes completely off the rails.

Honest, humorous, and a little unpredictable, his writing reflects exactly how his mind works.

Why the Bathroom Is a Creative Studio

Some of my best ideas showed up uninvited, at the least convenient moment, in the least glamorous room in the house. There’s a lesson in that. Probably.

From Music to Manuscripts

I spent years chasing melodies. Turns out writing sentences scratches the same itch — you’re still just trying to make people feel something they didn’t expect.
