Creative Writing: The Power of Words in Digital Media
“You've reached the end of the course! Congratulations on committing to yourself and your creativity, and for opening up to let the goodness flow through you. Creativity takes courage. Thank you for finding the courage to get here. It is now time to work on your project. It'd be great if you could explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Here are the steps you will follow: Step into an environment that feels creatively good for you to work on your project. Read over the writings you’ve created in your homework for this course (if you haven’t yet completed the tasks, go back and complete them now). Select one of those pieces of writing or create a new piece if you prefer. Decide who or what you’re editing for and go through the editing process outlined in Unit 3. Share your work with at least one person, taking care to decide if it wants to be sent, read aloud, posted, whispered, etc. I strongly encourage you to share your work with the Domestika community, all those peers that are going through the same process as you are right now. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". You might not feel ready to share your piece on the forum right away, and that is absolutely fine! The forum remains open for whenever you do feel ready! I'll be checking in from time to time to look at your posts, answer your questions, and give you feedback. Remember you can also interact with your peers and give them feedback, too. When you do so, keep in mind the rules for being a champion for creativity. Thank you for trusting me and I hope to hear from you soon!”
