Coca Cola has been very successful  at transmitting the same message over and over again to create a brand of its own. A brand that tells a story: There is always happiness, there are dreams, there is love, there is hope, peace, kindness, laughter, generosity, magic scenes. Coca Cola uses also  a Christmas time to promote those stories.

BEFORE THE FIGHT

Oh Ms Beautiful Ms Beautiful

Oh Ms Beautiful, Ms Beautiful

How many times have you fallen into the same spot? 

Implementing strategies, you think they are right

And some others, mistakenly understood, your purpose and the right

Be brave! Be brave

Only heroes in their own characters stand the weight

And the purpose of your own inside the mess

Fight, the fight for you

For your principles

For your career

Fight, the good fight

But do not let them win the fight

Of liberating a mind, in a conflicted spot

Of a broken mind

Cómo presentaríamos este canto en un programa musical?...

La naturaleza humana está siempre envuelta en el amor. Su existencia o su carencia, su llenura o su vacío, su normalidad o complejidad, su egoísmo o apertura, su querer ser o no ser dependiendo del sentimiento que os llene, y cómo el ser humano expresará este sentimiento en líricas que revelan contenidos de amor o ilusiones... Ana Gabriel... Simplemente Amigos.

THE WRITER'S WORKBOOK - free

Hello hello, it's me!

Today I'm here to tell you about each feature of "The Writer's Workbook", which you can download for free.

THE WRITER'S WORKBOOK - Free

Note: this workbook has two variations, so you can print it or use it digitally as a PDF.

I designed this workbook in an intuitive way so that the plot progresses as you go further in the exercises. It is divided in six big categories: Idea & Plot, Character Development, World Building, Writing, Journal, and Resources.

Note: feel free to skip exercises or to complete them in any other order than the one suggested by me!

IDEA & PLOT

This section is meant to help you develop your idea before you even know who your characters are.

In this part, you will choose the central conflict, write down keywords about your idea, and draw a mind map. Then, you'll proceed to find your voice through different exercises, to then find each key point of the plot, from exposition to resolution.

It's also in this part that you are going to come up with plot twists and the ending of the book.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Here, as the name says, you will completely develop all your characters, from the protagonist to the side characters. You will also have the opportunity to develop their relationships through mind maps and brainstorming processes.

WORLDBUILDING

Just like the other categories, worldbuilding is a fundamental step when plotting a novel.

In this workbook, you'll be asked to draw or generate a map of your world so that you always have it near you whenever you need it. There are also some prompts to fill out about it, and locations to create and explore.

In this part, you can also make a timeline for all the main events in your world.

WRITING

Now that most of your story is planned, it's time to think about writing it!

This section is perfect to come up with the best title for your book, brainstorming and develop the opening scene, and fully developing each key point using the snowflake method.

There's also a place to write down all the scenes and chapters you want to include in your book and check it off as you write it.

JOURNAL

This part is for you to reflect on your writing goals, on your ideas, and to see your progress. It's important to check this often and make sure you always have your goals in mind!

RESOURCES

Here you will find some useful resources from writing communities to courses and softwares to help you in this process and, hopefully, make it easier!

THE WRITER'S WORKBOOK

If you don't have it already grab it now here! It's completely free and I'm sure it will help you develop your new idea <3
