C'MON - creative writing workshop

“Patrick), 19.01.2022, 10:31AM” got published in March in under the pseudonym Ingrid Verena.

Looking back to my past works, I venture to say it’s probably the text that got closest to being autobiographical. It was written as a response to another text published in entitled “Ingrid, 18.02.2021, 11:52AM”, written by Patrick Nietzscher.

And yeah, Patrick is another one of my alter-egoes.

You’ll meet the rest in 2023.

Be well,

I get a little sentimental during the SECRET SANTA x poetry exchange. I’m spending my holidays sitting behind a screen, reading poems from strangers and smiling at each and every submission.

Yeah, that’s my definition of the festive season. That’s what truly warms my heart.

And for that, I want to personally thank all of you. You’ve opened up a door to your own microcosm and invited us to peek into it.

That takes courage. That takes kindness.

Thank you for choosing that. ❤️

This is Will. Will submitted a poem and is hyped about receiving one in return. Will is kind. Will is enthusiastic.

Be like Will.

Only a few hours left to submit your poem for SECRET SANTA x poetry exchange!

Here’s a recap of how it works 💌

SECRET SANTA 2022 just got serious.

{ code == poetry; }

Two years have passed. But you’re all still on my mind.

Keep an eye out to see where your verses wind up at! ☁️

It’s time for the long-awaited bad rhyme: C’MON! IS TURNING ONE! I cannot believe I've started my first-time business on April Fools' Day and in 2020. Double trouble. Pfah, I guess it makes for a good story.

Now… Buckle up your seatbelts because I’m about to get lengthy. It’s my baby’s 1st anniversary and mama got a tad emotional. You can swipe to read more about C’MON!’s birth, but since I care about your eyes, I also uploaded the text on the blog:

The plot is simple: 2020 died and you're at its funeral. Find in the link in bio at C'MON - creative writing workshop this 2020-not-so-serious-booklet that ignites your creativity, writing skills, silliness, and perhaps self-reflection.

C’MON! Writing can be scary as f**k. Publishing what you wrote? Even scarier. Like a train that hits you at 90 miles per hour. And you’re fully naked. Ugh. I was sick of letting this fear derail my creative ambitions. And here I find myself pushing other people in front of the train.

“DISLOCATION” is C’MON!’s first joint collaboration that got published in FRAGMENTED, a NYC-based magazine. An exploration on punctuation marks and the loss of space written by Alexandra Gheorghe, Lula Dahringer, Mela Çağla Aribal, Teodora Mişcov, and Ioana Hodor.

This is not a one-time-only sort of thing - I’m stoked to announce that I wanna push more participants in front of this train in the following year. Hope there’ll be a queue. Ok? Ok.

ADOBE4LIFE
took the poetry exchange to the next level 🎨

My heart pounds at such news. Iris Nuțu, a beloved C'MON! graduate, received the "Best MA Thesis in Humanities" award from The Senate of the University of Bucharest. Her thesis is entitled "The Novel's Long Journey into Films. Representations and Reconfigurations of Depression in Film Adaptation".

Proud of you!

Mândri, bucuroși! Iris Nuțu, alumna în 2020 a programului nostru de masterat „Societate, Multimedia, Spectacol”, a primit astăzi premiul pentru „Cea mai bună disertație în Științe umaniste”, acordat de către Senatul Universității din București. Titlul lucrării: „Lungul drum al cărții către film. Reprezentări și reconfigurări ale depresiei în relația literatură-cinema”.

„Subiectul proiectului de cercetare – reprezentarea culturală și artistică a depresiei – este abordat nu doar din perspectiva `literarității` literaturii și din cea a specificității limbajului cinematografic, ci și prin prisma procesului critic al adaptării transmediale – un fenomen complex (opus noțiunii mult mai comune de `ecranizare`), înțeles pe rând ca `traducere` intermedială, remediere, teorie critică, suport al unor teorii din studiile de gen, ‘queer studies’, teoriile afectului, trans-codare culturală”, a argumentat în cuvântul de susținere a disertației pentru premiu îndrumătorul principal al lucrării, lector dr. Cezar Gheorghe.

Iris, suntem mândri de tine și îți suntem recunoscători, pentru că, prin contribuția ta științifică, programul SMS are acum și el în palmares un premiu la această categorie, precum programul CESI „Teoria și practica imaginii” (la ediția I). Disertațiile CESI contribuie substanțial la consolidarea studiilor culturale vizuale, așa cm noi le-am inaugurat în România în urmă cu 20 de ani.
Mult succes în continuare și spor la lucru, în pregătirea pentru publicare a disertației în colecția CESI „Text și imagine” (EUB), seria Disertații.
