What my creative process looks like 👀😂

2025/9/3 Edited to

... Read moreThe creative process is often misunderstood as a linear path, but as highlighted, it truly is a blend of chaos and magic. This duality fuels the passion and innovation behind every artistic endeavor. Many creatives, especially songwriters, experience highs and lows — moments of clarity followed by confusing hurdles. Embracing this unpredictability can lead to breakthroughs that structured approaches might not unlock. For those grappling with songwriting struggles, it's helpful to remember that challenges are part of growth. Techniques such as free writing, experimenting with melodies without judgment, and documenting spontaneous ideas can transform chaos into art. Using hashtags like #creativeworkflow and #songwritingadvice connects creators to communities where they can share challenges and receive support. Moreover, recognizing that your creative flow may resemble scenes from "Into the Spider-Verse"—dynamic, unpredictable, but ultimately inspiring—can shift your perspective. Creativity thrives in an environment where there's room for mistakes and spontaneity. So, instead of forcing a rigid structure, allow your process to be fluid. Take breaks when necessary, seek new stimuli, and keep your creative tools accessible. Incorporating these approaches helps turn creative struggle into an empowering journey. By sharing these authentic experiences, creatives remind us that behind every great piece of art is a story of chaos shaped into something magical — a process worth celebrating.

What FMLA really looks like in my job 👶
When people talk about FMLA, it always reminds me how different it looks in education. When I had my baby in the first week of May, my entire “leave” was basically using my sick and personal days just to finish the school year. That was my version of FMLA. In teaching, I can get around sixty school

My fashion design process Pt.2
I call this phase “refine & design”, omitting the rough sketch, cleaning up, shaping and solidifying the character’s pose and body shape, then the creative process begins! I do not go in with a set plan, I just let it flowwww because my fashionart is more than just designing, it’s therapy 🧘🏾‍♀️

The image displays a 'Creative Logic' flowchart with six steps: 'Have a brilliant idea,' 'Overthink it,' 'Take a break to "research,"' 'Accidentally start a new project,' 'Forget what the original idea was,' and 'Repeat forever.' A desk with a laptop is in the background.
Creative Logic
Tell me it’s not just me. 😅 Somewhere between “this is genius” and “what was I doing again?” lies the real creative process. It’s not chaos... it’s pattern recognition in progress. 😉
