Summary/Abstract: This article is part of a series focusing on the Creative Writing Workshop within the Romanian Language Stylistics course, emphasizing certain didactic "engineering" aspects. Inspired by Jean-Benoît Puech's "Inventer des écrivains" workshop, it delves into the biographies of writers – real or imaginary – and their sociocultural contexts, constructing the writer's persona as a literary and symbolic entity. Our approach centers on Part I of the "Let's Invent Writers!" creative writing workshop, featuring the writer Matei Vişniec under the subtitle "Let's Invent Matei Vişniec." This segment encompasses three of the five main activities: Activity 1: What is "biofiction"?; Activity 2: Getting to Know Matei Vişniec Bette; Activity 3: Who Were the Famous Romanians Influencing Matei Vişniec During His Parisian Exile?—Introducing the Intellectual Couple Monica Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca. Integrating the creative writing workshop into the Romanian Language Stylistics course represents an attempt to diversify teaching methods, moving beyond mere stylistic analysis. It offers students the opportunity to integrate and apply their knowledge in an original and creative manner, enhancing creativity, originality, and a deeper understanding of language and literature. Simultaneously, it serves as a creativity incubator by promoting literary experimentation.
