"You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it." —Neil Gaiman

The creative process in 5 steps by Tablo:

• 1. Anticipation
  • You need to be warmed up to receive inspiration.
  • If you’re not prepared, you won’t know that it came and went.
• 2. Inspiration
  • Inspiration is everywhere.
  • Be faithful to all of your senses, including the 6th one.
• 3. Experimentation
  • Once you’re inspired, do whatever comes to mind.
  • Write, draw, create and destroy.
• 4. Execution
  • Once you have organized what you want to create, do it.
• 5. Communication
  • Share your creation with the world.
