In order to produce a text, it is necessary that we know the subject that will be explored. Even if it is based on a news story, a documentary or an image, it is from such data that we will produce.
The result of this production process will portray our way of interpreting sources, our worldview and lived experiences.
To convey what we intend, we recreate the real according to our will.
When exploring fiction, it is important that our work is believable, giving the reader the idea of truth, bringing him closer to our reality.
To build a narration that makes sense to the reader, all its elements (plot, narrator, character, time and space) need to compose a 'true whole'.
It is through verisimilitude, the approximation of reality, that the text will become real.
