Turning forty tends to mean more challenges physically\, in the bedroom and beyond. Losing It At Forty is Anne’s story and while she has\, so far\, lived a mundane life her world is about to change. Sitting at a bar\, Annabelle comes to the decision to loosen up and lose her virginity. Starting with no longer using her nickname and wanting to be referred to as her full name\, Annabelle. \nAnnabelle knows she doesn’t need a man but her desire for one is turned up after having a few drink and men flirting with her. \nWhat she knew she wanted was sex and even at forty years old she worried about pregnancy so took time off work to check with a doctor about the pill. He thought it was redundant but prescribed it anyway. \nWith many humorous incidents\, including a time at an esthetician’s parlor and almost being arrested\, to buying cream and being caught looking at condoms as well as the dreaded videochat while getting undressed\, Annabelle is enjoying life despite the comedic moments her romantic endeavors provide. \nAbout the Author:  \nSarah Butland is a freelance author\, and editor living in Pictou County\, Nova Scotia.  She has published numerous books\, fiction and non-fiction (for all ages!) – Sending You Sammy; Brain Tales Volume One; Arm Farm; Being Grateful\, Being Thoughtful; Where Pines and Maples Grow; Through the Eyes of a Teenager; Blood Day the Novella;  Cherish Your Treasures\, and Life Imitated.

SUMMARY:L'improvisation comme moyen littéraire | Atelier d'écriture avec Amélie Dumoulin
DESCRIPTION:????’???????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ????’???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????́???????????????????????????????????????????????? ????’????́???????????????????????????? ????????́????????????????????????????????́???? ???????????????? ????????????́???????????? ???????????????????????????????? \nAmélie Dumoulin vient du théâtre collaboratif. Dans cette approche\, le texte n’est pas rédigé au départ par un dramaturge\, il émerge des différentes improvisations des interprètes et de divers procédés d’écriture scénique. Pour peaufiner la partition finale du spectacle\, Amélie Dumoulin a vite dû apprendre à désacraliser le texte et à le percevoir plutôt comme un matériau\, malléable à l’infini.  \nAu moment de rédiger ses romans jeunesse ????????́ ???? ????????́ et ????????́ ???????????????????? (Québec Amérique\, 2015\, 2017)\, ainsi que ses contes ???????????????? et ???????????? (Québec Amérique\, 2019)\, Amélie Dumoulin a réalisé à quel point cette malléabilité textuelle l’avait aidée. Pour cet atelier\, elle propose donc de partager avec les auteur·trices amateur·es\, émergent·es ou professionnel·les ces techniques d’écriture basées sur l’improvisation\, dans le but de les aider à découvrir de nouvelles avenues de création.  \nGrand·es procrastineur·euses\, collectionneur·ses de projets inachevés ou patient·es atteint·es du Syndrome de la page blanche\, bienvenue! Amélie Dumoulin a des remèdes pour vos mots… euh maux! \n???? Date limite d’inscription : ???????? ????????́???????????????????? ????????????????➡️ Inscription : https://bit.ly/3nzRqcP \nAtelier offert en partenariat avec l’AAAPNB et MAGMA-AMGM. \n????̀ ???????????????????????? ???????? ????’???????????????????????????? \nAmélie Dumoulin s’amuse sur divers terrains d’écriture. En littérature jeunesse\, elle est l’autrice de ????????́ ???? ????????́ (Prix des libraires du Québec)\, ????????́ ????????????????????\, ???????????? et ????????????????\, tous publiés chez Québec Amérique. En théâtre\, elle collabore à l’écriture de spectacles avec les compagnies Joe Jack et John\, Des mots d’la dynamite\, et le Petit théâtre de Sherbrooke. Elle est également rédactrice au Centre national des Arts d’Ottawa et enseigne aux Muses : centre des arts de la scène\, à des artistes en situation de handicap.  \nLes textes d’Amélie Dumoulin traitent tous\, à leur manière\, de l’insolite expérience d’habiter un corps\, un monde\, d’être vivant.   \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/949437225943660/

Wow our illustrious judge with adventurous tales of derring-do\, or scandalous stories of murder most fowl – maybe the chicken did it! Now he’s gonna FRY! \nWhatever creative choices you choose to employ\, your story MUST incorporate all three prompts listed above. Beyond that? The breadth of your fictional world is yours to explore and conquer\, limited only by your imagination! \nUse the prompts as your opening lines\, or as the seeds of a greater mystery afoot\, or as pivotal plot points – creatively or passively\, the choice is yours and yours alone! \nAnd now\, dear Battlers\, the stage is set\, the stakes have been raised\, and the clarion call has been sent out to one and all. But before Battle commences\, heed the rules so a fair fight may ensue: \n– No names on entries (judging is blind!) – You MUST be a resident of Prince Edward Island to enter– Stories must be 2\,500 words or less– Anything received by 11:59 pm on Saturday\, February 26th will be accepted \nAnd that’s it!

SUMMARY:Les littératures de la traversée\, avec le professeur Désiré Nyela
DESCRIPTION:LES LITTÉRATURES DE LA TRAVERSÉE (Lundi 21 février 2022\, 19h00 Atlantique) – Conférence du professeur Désiré Nyela suivie d’une discussion au sujet de son ouvrage récent\, paru aux Éditions Karthala en 2021. \nCette activité est organisée par l’Observatoire Nord/Sud de l’Université Sainte-Anne \nZOOM : https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87840416291?pwd=anFWcVZzU2t1NDlXNzNEcytjUGlFdz09 \nRÉSUMÉ DE L’OUVRAGE : Prenant acte de la mondialisation de la littérature\, Désiré Nyela entend renouveler la pensée de la francophonie : « littérature-monde »\, « littératures de la périphérie »\, « littératures mineures » ont été autant de concepts élaborés pour appréhender l’expérience linguistique de l’écrivain francophone. Proposant le concept de « littératures de la traversée »\, Désiré Nyela met d’abord l’accent sur la traversée des champs littéraires : il s’agit pour ces auteurs de s’imposer dans le champ culturel global par l’inventivité\, le détour\, pour repenser les enjeux de territoire et de langue. À qui appartient la langue française ? De quel territoire parle la littérature ? Désiré Nyela affronte ces questions fondamentales à partir de l’analyse des postures et des textes des écrivains majeurs de la francophonie. C’est un parcours qui nous est proposé à travers l’universalisme de Yambo Ouologuem\, la dé-nationalisation de la littérature chez Dany Laferrière qui se prétend « écrivain japonais »\, ou encore le refus de l’africanité de Kossi Efoui. Bouleversant les mythologies nationales et identitaires\, Désiré Nyela interroge la portée transnationale des littératures et la manière dont la figure du lecteur est réinvestie par une perspective mondiale. \nDÉSIRÉ NYELA est professeur titulaire au Département d’études françaises de l’Université Sainte-Anne en Nouvelle-Écosse (Canada). Il est docteur en stylistique de l’Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV). Ses recherches portent sur les littératures francophones ainsi que sur les littératures populaires. Outre ses nombreux articles et autres travaux parus dans des ouvrages collectifs\, il est l’auteur de Lignes de fronts. Le roman de guerre dans la littérature africaine (Presses de l’Université de Montréal\, 2009) et de La Filière noire. Dynamiques du polar « made in Africa » (Honoré Champion\, 2015). \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/668084974344582/
