Creative Process

Summarize Wilco's approach to creating a song.
They get an idea for what they want it to be, then they deconstruct it to try to see if there is a better way to go about it, or make it more fun.

What is your creative process for writing? Explain in detail the steps you go through.
I think about things for long time before I ever write anything down. For nonfiction, I come up with my arguments or points and in what order I want to present it, all of this in my head. Then I start writing. For fiction (stories) I will outline the plot, then write down stuff about the characters. The character outlines actually go first, then the plot. I usually draw the character as well, so as to get an idea of what they look like.

  1. I like the title of your blog. :) Also, this is a nice post. When I write nonfiction, I outline, but I never outline for a piece of fiction. I kind of let it go where it goes. Needless to say, I don't write a lot of fiction.

    For grammar, you need to be sure to proofread. "The get an idea for what they want it to be, then they deconstruct it t try to see if there is a better way to go about it, make it more fun." There are one or two places that you have not completed the word or have the wrong word. Also, you should use a period between two complete sentences, not a comma.
