Que bien explica Gustavo Rodríguez. Este curso ha ido más allá de mis expectativas y me ha motivado, por fin, a escribir teniendo una hoja de ruta bastante clara en mente.

Me ha encantado. Consejos y prácticas muy directas, muy enfocadas a lo que se necesita. Me ha gustado que como ejemplo el propio docente escriba, que él mismo no se base en un trabajo anterior, si no que se enfrente al propio desafío.
