From Personal Diary to Non-Fiction Short Story
|
Learn to write a text based on your own experiences and turn it into a story that articulates ideas, experiences, reflection, and observation
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could transform one of those little anecdotes from your journal into an original story? Join writer and editor Daniel Saldaña París and learn how to write non-fiction texts based on your own experiences.
In this course, use moments from your personal diary as the starting point for your narrative. Get to know some of the great techniques to apply in structuring a story that encapsulates your ideas, reflections, and observations.
Start by getting to know Daniel Saldaña París a little better and find out what type of literature makes him tick and why. He also talks about his greatest influences and what you get the opportunity to learn throughout the course.
Daniel takes you through the definition of some basic terminology, then explains some decisions it’s wise to make before starting to write. He shares a few exercises to get you started on determining the theme and tone of your final project.
Then have a look at some practical tools to help visualize the structure and scope of your text. When you first catch sight of that blank sheet of paper, the excess of freedom can be overwhelming! That’s why it’s important to approach your final project with a clear vision of what you want to do and the language you want to use.
Once you’ve got your diary-inspired non-fiction story written, learn how to correct and edit your own work until you’re completely satisfied with it.
