The makeover does not change the person.
With short hair, the writer Espido Freire was made in Cartagena to deliver high clarity of ideas, which has stood all along: The main advice for anyone who wants to be a writer is to be taken seriously as a job not merely as a hobby, error in dropping many other writers.
It is their opinion and they taught from Monday to the 25 students and five listeners who attend the course that teaches creative writing at the Department of Women, within the activities organized during the month of March, ending a crash course Wednesday morning .
Despite his youth, Freire has published eleven years and nine books teaching creative writing, this last aspect which is to make sense in everyday life of people who attend its courses, find a value for money, learn to express and use these resources to succeed in the enterprise level, where it is always necessary to have a general culture.
What courses are taught Espido Freire, no workshops.
According to the writer, the latter are more democratic, more student participation, but she prefers the courses in which participants listen and learn, absorb information and then investigate on their own, and the teacher is working, no is a passive spectator and lazy.
In the course being developed in Cartagena, the profile of students is quite varied: housewives, journalists, teachers, people who have published and people have not done ever, and have been selected the best among an avalanche of requests that came to the council within just opened last November.
On the development classes, Espido Freire places duties and literary exercises to their students, mostly women, who then corrects personally.
They aim is to promote empathy (for example, to assume the position of a person you hate) and self-knowledge (be able to see our strengths and weaknesses.)
The writer Bilbao, luxury guest as expressed by Councilwoman Montero Rosario, and together with our city for what it considers a foreign bond to my life by the fact that his father did his military service in Cartagena, repeat this experience does not rule , although everything depends on the outcome of an initiative that only a few, for now, enjoy.
