]]> Announcement: Later this week, I’m headed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, for my first weeklong residency in the MFA Creative Nonfiction programme at the University of King’s College.

There I will be embracing five key challenges:

  1. Learn where the apostrophe goes in King’s
  2. Work on a book about my weaving grandmother, who you may already recognize from this web site
  3. Refamiliarize myself with the publishing industry
  4. Get into a rhythm of delivering chapters regularly, and doing social media in a more organized, and contributing fashion
  5. Learn how to spell “nonfiction” without a hyphen

It’s a low-residency programme, so after my week at school, and a bit of vacation in Nova Scotia, I’ll be back in Montreal as usual, and open to more work in video games (that work is at Discoglobe.ca). Nothing changes there!

I also have a new NEWSLETTER, so please sign up if you’d like to accompany me on my journey. I am not yet organized and haven’t committed to what I’ll be writing in this newsletter so take your life into your own hands, and SIGN UP AND FIND OUT. I’ll be sending it once a month to start. It will be a miracle if I can stick to this schedule.
