1. Summarize Wilco's approach to creating a song.
2. What is your creative process for writing?
3. Explain in detail the steps you go through.
4. If you have no process, then why not? Be specific.
1. Wilco takes the entire idea of what the song should sound like a breaks it down into the various instruments and parts.
2/3. My creative process for writing can best be described as scatterbrained. As much as I would like to say that I outline the plot, get more and more specific, and start writing in detail-which would honestly make for a better and more organized story (what I usually write)-, I have a strong tendency to, instead, briefly outline the plot in my head and then begin to write. Often, I also have a tendency to form details in my head-strong emotions, important dialogue, etc.-and include them in my piece. (I do have plans in the future to begin to get in the habit of mapping the plot out more effectively.) In contrast, when I'm writing a paper or essay for school, I usually form a thesis, pre-write, with an organizer, and plot out my writing before I sit down to write out everything.
4. My process for creative pieces, was described above, and I do hope to, in the future, have better prewriting skills.
This is a nicely written entry. :) I think for creative writing, it is alright to be scattered brained because you are not proving anything. I would even say in creative writing we sometimes benefit from having a lax plan.
