What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
It wasn't much of a surprise, but one of the most pleasant parts of the reading was the creative process. I do find the creative process to be subjective however. For example, I wouldn't expect J. Cole's creative process to be the same as Kendrick Lamar's, or even for the two to have the same steps in their respective processes. This doesn't prohibit them from creating creative works that a lot of people can enjoy. I do both spoken word, sing and rap and my creative process is something entirely different, but that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate someone else's process.
Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I think that I wasn't very perplexed with the reading this week because I was so interested by the discussion regarding the creative process, only helped me understand it more.
If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
The first question I would ask is if he allowed someone else to write that section, would he think that the section about the creative process would come out different, because of my belief of how the process is different to everyone else. My second question is does he think that someone's process can evolve, because I feel like mine has.
Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
There wasn't anything I disagreed with, just felt like everyone's creative process is different. Especially since creativity manifests in different forms across multiple disciplines, I wish the author would have collaborated with multiple people from multiple disciplines to get a more holistic approach to the creative process.
