Creative Writing: Present and Narrate the Small Things

Creative Writing: Present and Narrate the Small Things

“First of all, thank you very much for taking this course! For opening your eyes, ears and mind to everything that is happening out there and is worth telling. Rest assured that this will be the beginning of a lot of literary creation based on curiosity, giving space to the senses and turning sensations into stories. Before I finish, I want to give you three pieces of advice to help you continue writing with great enthusiasm. First: writing is an act of communication, but it also helps us understand the way we communicate and what we like to convey. Start by thinking of this exercise as a way to enjoy sound and the written word. Second: try to listen to music in everything, from what we think is the noise in the street, to the playlists that accompany us all the time, there are great ideas hidden there that you can bring to writing, it is just a matter of paying attention to them and seeing the details they hold. Third: Observe everything with curiosity, each painting, illustration or photo or the movies you like, think about how you would like to describe an image and dare to do it. I invite you to write a lot and to start that adventure by doing a final project different from mine. Use all the tools and examples you want, but use your own imagination and tastes to write something unique. Also remember that you have a space in the forum to share your ideas, work and opinions with the community. It is much more interesting if we move forward together. See you at the forum!”
