About the final project for: Writing Short Stories Based on Personal Experience

Creation of short stories

“ Thank you for accompanying me on this journey of self-knowledge through writing. I hope you really enjoyed the process and the creation of your project. Now we are going to review the key phases of the project so that you can share it with the Domestika community. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Memories Reconnect with the past through the selection of objects or photo albums in order to discover a story and turn it into a story.

Your narration Who is going to tell the story and how is he going to do it? Select the type of narrator and the tone of your story.
Character profiling and storyline Create a biography to give the characters density (you know that what you see in the story is just the tip of the iceberg). He also designs a storyline that will function as a beacon along the story's journey.

The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I look forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum!”
