I’m enrolled at a workshop for creative writing la Calea Victoriei Foundation. Below my notes on the process of writing.
What is the process of writing?
– Prewriting:
a. Research;
b. Preliminary draft (less than 5 pages, structured – both in cronology and spatial relations);
c. Brainstorming;
d. Attention to conventions (rapport between abstract and concrete, general and specifc, denotation and conotation, literal and metaphoric);
e. Mindmap;
– Draft (15-20 pages);
– Revision (local for the grammar and general for the style);
– External reading;
– Evaluation;
– Publication;
Hint: you can see a wonder wheel (similar to a mindmap) in action here.
