O processo de criação na escrita ficcional: reflexões sobre as particularidades da escrita criativa

Abstract

In this work, an immersion in the area of creative writing was proposed, based on an individual and complementary perspective, it addresses the relationship between the creative writing paths, the aesthetic project of my own creation process as a fiction writer and the theoretical path that I traced to construct the “sertão” cycle, combining essayistic reflection with the production of fiction. To achieve this target, this dissertation configuration is divided into three parts, which aim to answer the following questions: “What is the aesthetic path chosen to represent the “sertão”? Which characters form the link between the narrative and this universal place called sertão? What are the relationships established between time and space? The first part addresses the creative writing, and the second part presents an aesthetic discussion about the representation of the “sertão”, focusing on the creation of characters set in a context of time and space, consolidating my aesthetic journey and my creative process, affirming my identity as a fiction writer. Finally, in the third part, I discuss my experiences in the creative fictional writing, culminating with the presentation of the unpublished novel entitled The All Saints House (Using “All Saints” as a surname), which is the theme of the theoretical approach of this study. Walking through the universe of fiction and theories, this combination exposes a unique creation place in creative writing, marking the course of the process. This is an attempt to enlighten the tangled process of studies that contribute to the writer formation, crowned with the work that gave rise to this journey.
