Considering the author s experience as a participant in three prose fiction s workshop, this dissertation develops reflections on the experimentation and construction ways of artistic writing and also on the writer s professionalism. From the writing motivation to the forms of insertion in the literary system, the workshop presents their themes and dynamics as a space to investigate the tensions related to the writing practice in contemporary times: based on the principle of learning, it requires the author s extinguishment as an inspired and original subject, but has a close association with romantic ideas around the creation. Although new terms of intertextuality and technical learning are accepted, the students search for a own voice and live the impersonality experience that goes beyond the control in the writing process. In this work, the workshop activities are presented in dialogue with the Barthes s and Deleuze s notions about writing, their motivation and construction.
