It’s all I can do. All I can do is write about it. Write, and then rewrite. Rewrite, and then edit. Edit, and then revise again… The creative process is a beautiful thing that we all have the ability to partake in. In this blog post, you will learn 10 things you wanted to know about the Creative Process: how it feels like when you’re doing it; what happens during the process; how your creativity evolves over time; as well as tips on how to improve your creativity!
I wrote this blog post because I wanted to share my thoughts on the creative process. It’s all I can do right now, and it makes me feel good so I want to talk about what happens in that space for those who are curious and find comfort in doing these activities themselves.
It feels like…The Creative Process is a powerful and all-consuming experience that can be difficult to articulate. It feels like a whirlwind of energy, it feels like an explosion in the brain; there is such joy and beauty, but at times also anger or sadness creativity is not one emotion. You may find yourself doing something you don’t fully understand why you are doing it until later , but it feels good so you keep going. It’s a space in which anything can happen and we should all be humbled by – the best artists have always been those who are humble and willing to put themselves into that place of vulnerability for their art, because they know there is something beautiful on the other side of fear or uncertainty.
So how do you get there? You start to take risks and experiment. Take time for yourself, go on an adventure in some way or another, make the space in your life where creativity can happen – be mindful of what is happening around you that could inspire what comes next. Often people will say they need more ideas when really all they needed was to spend some time with themselves because once we are still a new idea appears . It’s so important not to rush it though; sometimes great work takes years to come together before it is ready but often one line at a time. Creativity isn’t made up of rules after all! Experimentation should never stop being encouraged as well no matter who you are – everyone needs those moments of just sitting and doing nothing but allowing their brain to process all the information it has collected.

Is your creative process a mystery to you? Do you wonder what other people do to get their creative juices flowing? What is the right way to work through an idea or problem? How do I know when I’m done with a project? The following blog post will answer these questions and more.
First, let’s start with some basics: creativity takes many different forms. Some artists like to be spontaneous and just go for it, while others prefer planning everything out before they start. You’ll also find that some people are better at one type of creativity than the other — such as visual art over music composition, for example. Creativity can come in all shapes and sizes, but there are some common threads that run through it all: brainstorming, trial and error, persistence…

What does this have to do with me? Not everyone is creative or has an interest in being so (which is totally cool). But if you happen to love creativity, it’s a skill that can be developed and grown through practice.
It all starts with an idea. And no matter how detailed the plan might seem before you start, there will always come points in your creative process where something needs to change or evolve so you end up with new work! This is why being open to experimentation is important—you never know what could happen if you just try one more thing…
