General Practices in the Creative Process

Abstract

In the studies, biographies, and memoirs of, by, and about real creators that form the research base of this book, several other aspects of the creative process seem apparent: (1) the need for solitude; (2) creativity rituals; (3) meditation; (4) exercise, especially walking; (5) the quest for silence; (6) divergent production practice; and (7) creativity as the process of a life.
