My creation process
In this section I will share the stages of my creation process.
creating a universe
Over the past 5 years I have written tales, poems and essays about a wide range of topics. In the process I have come to create some characters and scenaries. Now I have decided to create a longer story in which I will connect those characters and scenaries.
This story will be posted in this website and in on my Instagram account. Every Instagram post will share a brief mini-chapter of the story.
phase 1
Discovery and inspiration
Discovery log
The discovery log is a technique to gather ideas that may come from any source of inspiration, it may be from entertainment, media, hobbies, books and people.
phase 2
Ideation, research and Brainstorming
James Webb Young’s 5 step creative process
The discovery log is a technique to gather ideas that may come from any source of inspiration, it may be from entertainment, media, hobbies, books and people.
Step 1: Gather raw material
In this step I will gather both the materials of my immediate problem and the materials which come from a constant enrichment of my general knowledge. For this step I will gather my raw material using the ideas that I wrote down in my Discovery Log.
Step 2: Think (and write)
Young originally called this stage "working over these materials in your mind." In this stage I will write down every idea that I may be interested in developing.
Sketches & Ideas
Step 3: Relax
In this step I will just chill and forget about it for a while, just like Young said, you are supposed to "make absolutely no effort of a direct nature".
Step 4 & 5: Carve and Polish
Also known as the Eureka moment and Rework, the steps number 4 and 5 are about writing down my idea and working on the details. Just like an sculptor carves and polishes the stone, in this step I do the same with the ideas.
