Amélie Nothomb and her funny exercise that breaks her routine
Columnist Mohamed Bouhafsi returned to the unchanging and daily ritual practiced by Amélie Nothomb to succeed in continually writing books and, during a little parody with the help of Bertrand Chameroy, we can see the latter doing an exercise with… a dishwashing glove.There is something new in your routine, it is the gymnastics exercise with the dishwashing glove.“, noted the columnist.
The author, who has sold more than 20 million books, expressed her feelings of despair: “It’s awful, it’s completely ridiculous. But since I’ve been spending 9 hours a day writing for 35 years now, my right shoulder is completely destroyed!” Amélie Nothomb explained that she had consulted a physiotherapist who told her how important it was to rebuild a muscle.To rebuild that muscle, he told me I had to pull on a dishwashing glove… So now I pull on a dishwashing glove!“
What is Amélie Nothomb’s lifestyle?
Like a top athlete, Amélie Nothomb’s lifestyle remains unbeatable in her category. Revealed in several media outlets and notably on the set of France 5, we learn that the Belgian writer who lives in Paris has the same routine every day, without any possible deviation and far from the screens that she does not have at home.
Amélie Nothomb gets up at 4am, writes until 8am and washes it all down with 1 litre of black tea. If the future belongs to those who get up early, that leaves little room for excess! In any case, the only deviation that Amélie Nothomb allows herself is this famous expensive passion for champagne that we often see at her side during book signings.
