"There is little time," I say some regular writing workshops.
"We need more practice," say others.
I agree. But beyond the limits imposed by the academic calendar, one thing is certain: no one can "learn to write" or "write better without practice.
The aim of these workshops has always been twofold: first, to provide tools for writing and proofreading, and secondly, to stimulate the desire to write and browse through the written textual forms and their environments. There is a part of the road to be do alone: \u200b\u200bwriting.
there anything in that act alone, loneliness will reconcile us with the world or we will hurt the soul. But necessary. It is the writer's birth.
A workshop is only a stimulus. It is nothing less than a stimulus.
So: thanks to all who, in these seven years have passed by this spot where I have found some tips for writing and a response to literary concerns.

Models Wanted To Pose In Suspenders & Stockings
To read
Some students have asked for recommendations for me to read a little more, to leave the daily-newspaper reading, academic and technical texts to which we are accustomed. No easy task, since each one must find between their own tastes, inclinations to reading that are most appropriate and entertaining or interesting.
As a first step, I recommend reading to identify what type of search: stories, novels, poetry, essays, journalism ...
Then, within each case, see the specific genre. For example, the novel might be testimonial, autobiographical, historical, romantic, police, etc.
few sample to start ...
Argentine authors recommended, each committed in different genres, "Roberto Fontanarrosa, Osvaldo Soriano, Rodolfo Walsh, Enrique Anderson Imbert, Abelardo Castillo ...
recommended American Authors: Mario Benedetti, Augusto Monterroso, Eduardo Galeano, Alejo Carpentier ...
These recommendations stem from my own taste, but also selected on the basis of reading bearable, clear style, a certain penchant for humor - in some cases and types of resources they use. Les
step some websites where you will find authors and some samples of your stories and other texts:
http://www.negrofontanarrosa.com
http://www.letropolis.com.ar
http://www.bolinfodecarlos.com.ar/cuentos.htm
http://www.lamaquinadeltiempo.com/
On the next page:
http://www.educared.org.ar/guiadeletras/
will find a fairly extensive list of authors and links to go probing the ways of reading. General Recommendation
To find what to read, you should go read. There is no other. Internet is a useful tool to go looking for the road. Visiting the bookstores, stalk through the pages of the books that catch your eye, is another resource.
only remains to say, on with the search.
