Engage in creative writing exercises that document and generate ideas, and transform it into a regular practice

Writer Aniko Villalba, author of books such as Días de viaje (2013) and El síndrome de París (2016), as well as interactive diaries like [i]Diario de viajes mágicos[i] (FERA, 2020), is wholeheartedly convinced that everyone has a story to tell...and write. That's why she started escribir.me, a website where she offers workshops on writing and creativity.

In this course, Aniko explains why writing is like exercising and teaches you how to turn it into a daily habit. Learn about each stage of the writing process and follow your teacher through more than ten creative exercises, from generating ideas and documenting your life to timed writing. Start filling up your notebook and build your own writing routine.

What is this course's project?

Start a notebook for creative writing exercises that's ready to use or add to once you finish the course. You can repeat these exercises as many times as you want, and you'll always end up with new ideas.

Who is this online course for?

Anyone who wants to start writing, write more often and have fun with their texts, or exercise their creative muscles.

Requirements and materials

No previous knowledge is needed to take this course, just some curiosity and the drive to write.

The materials include a notebook, your preferred writing tool (pens, pencils, markers, or a computer if you'd rather create a digital notebook), a timer, pieces of scrap paper for writing words, any book you have on hand, and graphic material like old photos, illustrations, tarot cards, or anything with an image on it.
