A creative process can be a difficult concept to comprehend. Everyone works differently, therefore everyone has a different interpretation of what the creative process means. While some people find it easy to put their process into words, I personally found it pretty difficult. However, here is what I came up with for how I work best when trying to creatively:
The Creative Process
- Take a seat somewhere comfy and assess your task at hand.
- Clear your mind of all distractions.
- Forget that . . . take a five minute break to watch some cat videos on YouTube.
- Got enough inspiration? Get back to work!
- Brainstorm, brainstorm, ask questions and brainstorm again.
- Congratulations, you have your first small idea!
- Wait, that idea is garbage . . . back to the drawing board! There will always be roadblocks.
- Clear your mind again and repeat steps 3-7, then see step 9.
- A genius idea!
- Write absolutely everything down for further inspiration. You won't regret it.
- Keep adding to your genius idea until your problem is solved!
Like I said before, the creative process is different for everyone! Personally, I work better when I take multiple breaks and I can find inspiration at literally any time--even in the middle of the night. The point of the creative process is that with enough brainstorming, questioning, and creative thinking, you will eventually reach that big idea that will solve your problem.
