I love studying the creative process itself:

Looking at the creative process itself a bit today, as I prepare for some creative workshops, making sure I have room for each part of the process in my workshop…I tend to like the hovering, and lighting up part best, then naming, and sharing it aspects (in my workshops we share our art as gifts or art responses to other’s art)—but we need to dwell well in each part of the art process from hover to publish for the experience to be effulgent and transformational.

The creative process in a nutshell: hovering over chaos, lighting everything up so you can see the elements, separating, naming and delineating the elements, seeing how they all relate (discovering the narrative), editing them accordingly, and sharing or publishing.

Each part can be creative, and requires unique attention and skills. And you really can’t skip any of the parts, but each person tends to be drawn to one part of the process more than others. At least in my experience. Fun prepping to facilitate each stage of the creative process well.
