I find that I cycle through these stages and depending on the creative act I could be in multiple stages at once. Right now I am in the consuming stage in my writing, the feel follow flow for painting and creating a larger body of work and stuck as I graduated from a MFA program earlier this year and trying to find my way to what's next. I love the analogies you have created here and it helps so much to see things from a different perspective. Long time follower of yours since the Design Milk days. Hope you are having a great week Jaime!
Hi Sarah! Thanks for sharing ~ it was so hard to try and articulate my own process into words, but I'm glad it seemed to resonate. At the moment, I'm feeling a bit Stuck and Consuming with respect to some ideas, and Hollow in another. I think it's fine to be in a variety of places in different areas... nothing is ever completely balanced all the time.
I believe the same, Jaime. I think we just keep working in each area and sometimes it clicks and sometimes it keeps circling. Thank you for responding. These conversations are what make the creative process so valuable.
Love it! Plus alliteration for the win, every single time, no matter the cringe.
Haha I know. We hate to love it 😆
