About the final project for: Creative Writing Lab: Experiment with Words

Creative Writing Lab: Experiment with Words

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for choosing me as your teacher. Now it is your turn to share what you have created throughout the course. As a project you must make your own text. You can use any of the genres that I showed you or combine them all. Feel free to write about what you want and how you want! Remember that I shared my writing process with you, but it doesn't mean you have to do it the same way. Take what works for you and adapt it to your creative process. I recommend that you write about what you are passionate about and like. Let your curiosity and creativity lead you to explore new paths. Don't worry about it being perfect, keep in mind that each person has something to tell and each writer chooses how to tell it. There are a thousand different ways to tell what you want to say! A writer's job may seem lonely, but it doesn't have to be. For this reason, I invite you to take advantage of the Domestika forum to create a community. Writing is primarily an act of communication. Exchange ideas, advice and writings with your peers. When your project is ready, don't forget to upload it to the forum, I'll be giving you feedback as soon as possible. I ask you to be patient, as it may take me a while to respond. While you wait, you can read your classmates' projects. I hope you have enjoyed this course as much as I have and that now you feel like writing more than ever. I like to think that this is not the end, but the beginning of many stories to tell. Do not stop writing and transmit your passion to the world! See you soon on the forum.”

Partial transcription of the video

“We have reached the end of the course. It has been a pleasure to share with you. We reviewed some strategies that work for me in writing. The ones that emerged from the systematization of my creative process are the ones I shared with you. Your final project should be unique. Everyone has something valuable to express. You can convey it through narrative. poetry. or essays. or by blending these three literary forms to create a unique expression. We write much more effectively within a community since writing fundamentally serves as a means of communication. Remember to engage actively in di...”

Writer and Editor

Despite having grown up surrounded by books, Mexican writer Karen Villeda had a lot of difficulty learning to read. Her mother patiently taught her and, before long, she was reading pirate stories by herself, and at just 19, she published her first book. Karen believes that literary genres are interchangeable and can be combined, which is why she considers her writing to be a hybrid.

She has had more than ten books published, and her book Dodo (Fondo Editorial Tierra Adentro) won the Premio Nacional de Poesía Joven Elías Nandino in 2013 and is part of the Archivo de Literatura Hispánica en Audio. Karen's work has earned her more than fifteen prizes and she has also been writer-in-residence in the University of Iowa. She is currently an editor and gives classes in creative writing.
