Creative writing workshop with Gabriela Llanos

Cartagena 2024, 
We all have a story to tell: life itself is full of stories. To do so effectively, we have to find the formulas that help us to escape from the misery of the blank page. There are no magical recipes, but rather techniques for unblocking, ones that even veteran writers turn to. This workshop proposes different techniques, ones that stimulate the capacity to tell stories and give encouragement to the narrator we all have inside. The writer and journalist Gabriela Llanos will begin the workshop with some general recommendations about the characteristics of the story and the differences between theme, plot and structure. From there, we can start to play with techniques for unblocking and to write our stories.
