Find your Personal Creative Writing Methodology
A course by Olivia Teroba , Writer and editor
Develop your writing skills with this course.
Discover how to transform your ideas into literary texts through conceptual and practical tools that will allow you to give life and continuity to your projects. Learn to identify the material that nourishes literary writing based on your tastes, interests, and personality. Explore techniques to turn those initial ideas into coherent and compelling narratives. You'll be able to choose the genre, tone, and style that best suit your personal vision, ensuring that every word reflects your intention.
Advance through the process of revising and rewriting, refining your work until it becomes a text you fully identify with. This journey is neither linear nor unique, but rather an exploration rich in possibilities. Upon completion, you will have created a worksheet that will serve as a compass for future projects, allowing you to capture your thoughts in stories, essays, poems, plays, or novels. This work is intended for those who wish to immerse themselves in the art of writing while deepening their understanding of themselves and their surroundings.

PlusBuenas tardes. Estoy con expectativa. Soy teólogo peruano y me interesa mejorar en temas de creación literaria. Estoy escribiendo un libro, pero quiero enriquecer mi espíritu con nuevas herramientas y con otras luces que, por mi cuenta, no logro ver. Gracias.
