Creative Writing: Unlocking and Inspiring Ideas

“You have reached the end of the course, I would like to thank you for being here and letting me be your partner and teacher during your learning process. I hope you enjoyed this course as much as I did and that now you really want to continue writing. Before you start writing anything, remember the importance of getting some ideas clean: creativity feeds on practice and observation. Inspiration is just one of the ingredients, and creativity has to do with taking the time and space to practice. Just writing a little bit a day is enough, in addition, the exercises that I have taught you can adapt them. When it comes to writing there is no end to practice other than to keep writing. Anyway, I recommend that from time to time if you like some text in particular and you think it can be displayed, or because you would like it to be part of another longer text, separate it from your notebook, or file, you can clean it and correct it . If you already know what text you want us to see, before sharing it you can read it aloud, read it several times, check if it is coherent, if it works (if it says what you want it to say), if it is clear, if there are no repetitions of words or complex phrases that disturb the reading, if the use of the language is correct and if it is being used accordingly (if not, if it is justified). Once you do that review and the necessary adjustments, it is good to give it to someone you trust to read to see what they think, and of course, I invite you to share it in the final project section so that you can also receive comments from the community by Domestika. I will also be giving you feedback, but I ask you to be patient, as it may take me a little bit, but of course I will. Please do not stop participating in the forum. It is surprising how the interaction and feedback from other colleagues can give you a new vision of things, although keep in mind that in the end it is your decision because it is your text. I will be looking forward to seeing what you have built with your words. Once again, thank you very much for being here. See you soon on the forum! Bye.”

“Final Project We've reached the end. Thank you very much for taking this course. I hope it was useful and that you had fun writing. The good thing about these exercises is you can do them in a few minutes, when you have free time. You can repeat them every so often, as many times as you want, and you'll have different results. If you're working on a longer text or a different creative project, these exercises will help your mind focus and go into that creative zone. I imagine you already realized this, but let me repeat it. An idea attracts another idea. That's why it's good to keep active ...”
