About the final project for: Creative Techniques to Transform Ideas into Texts

Creative Techniques to Transform Ideas into Texts

“We have reached the end of the course and I am very happy that we made this journey together! Remember that the final project I presented is just an example. You can and should find your own solutions! In addition to writing about the topic of your choice, you can also write about the same topic or completely different things, you can write made-up stories or real stories, you can even write more than the three texts I suggested if that's exciting! I'm very curious to see the different paths that each person will take. More than following step by step and writing rules, it's important to understand your own process and how it works best. In this course I shared some techniques I learned and some methods that work for my process. Feel free to use whatever you like or adapt the features you've learned here as you see fit! The important thing is to get your writing going. When you keep walking, you'll eventually get somewhere. That's our goal as creative people: to reach the end of each process and then look back and learn from it. See what worked, understand what can be improved, see where there's room to try out new tools or other methods! Thus, you can continuously develop your skills and evolve in what you are proposing to do. The path itself teaches how to walk! Now, I'm going back to my writing assignments! Return at any time to comment on projects posted on the forum and answer your questions! If I take a while, it's because I'm immersed in my creative process or trying to get out of some "Gift Valley". But don't worry, I'll be watching! In the meantime, you can comment on colleagues' project and exchange ideas about the process! This type of exchange with other people who are taking the course is very productive and very valuable. It is the opportunity to bring different perspectives to your process, which helps us to come up with more innovative ideas. A kiss and remember: trust your process.”

“FINAL PROJECT We have reached the end of the course and I am very happy of having gone through this journey together. Before finishing, let's refresh your memory with the main points we have covered on this path. In the first unit of this course, I talked about my trajectory as an independent artist and how the internet made it possible for me to publish my stories. I talked a little about my influences and the importance of looking at the process itself. and to take it to the end. Then I presented the steps of the creative process in a visual scheme. To stop being something shrouded in mys...”
