As we are here in the "creative process" section, I wondered about is, after all, a philosophical question: whatis the creative process, howdoes it work, how do each of you actually begin to create some piece (a poem, for example). I personally am ruminating all the time, maybe even unconsciously. I am working out words, phrases - that kind of thing. What about "writers' block"? It all just 'comes' to me.: maybe that's what they mean by being visited by the "Muse". Just wondered . . . maybe someone out there could come back with some ideas?
