About this plan
If you have already conquered the micro story and want to move into a multi page short story, this free creative writing workshop in Bogotá is for you. Biblioteca Pública Arborizadora Alta opens its doors for a session focused on building the bones of a longer story, with practical exercises that help you stretch a small idea into a solid narrative.
During the session you will work with clear tools to hold a main plot that carries denser descriptions, characters with more room to breathe, and situations that open up. The idea is simple: take that flash you usually compress into two paragraphs and learn to unfold it without losing its punch.
It is a great plan if you live in southern Bogotá or if you simply want a free literary workshop near Arborizadora Alta, in a quiet setting with a library as your backdrop.
What to expect
- Free, in person workshop at a public library
- Focus on long short stories, not micro fiction
- Practical exercises to stretch your starting anecdote
- A one off session to beat the fear of blank pages
Who it's for
It fits amateur writers, curious readers, and students who want to practice short narrative in a longer format, in a friendly and guided setting.
Tips
- Bring a notebook and pen, or your laptop, to get the most out of the exercises
- Arrive a few minutes early to settle into the room
- Check the exact time and room on the BibloRed page, since they can change
- Take the chance to learn about the cultural program at Biblioteca Arborizadora Alta
