Snowflake Challenge, day 3

Day 3

In your own space, talk about your creative process - from what inspires you to what motivates you to how you manage to break through blocks. Does your process change depending on the type of creating you're doing? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Remember that we're talking about anything creative. Rec lists, running a challenge or a community. Pic spams, gif sets, fandom primers. Group re-reads and re-watches, with or without commentary or bad jokes. You get the idea. If you feel like you put creative energy into it, it counts.

I talked quite a lot of why I write and what’s motivates me, very recently, you can read it all here.

I find my inspiration all over. A scene in a book/movie/TV series. A quote, a song or a picture. I can also find inspiration from someone’s prompts. When I get an idea I usually mull it over for some time, going through the story in my head. When I start to write I almost always know the whole story, even if I can add scenes as I get along. I write all over the place at first, a sentence here and some dialogue there. Then I start at the beginning and work through the whole story/chapter. If I get stuck I mark the place with XX and go on with the story. Then I go back and work on the difficult bits. If I get completely stuck I let the story rest. I always have more than one story going at any time, so I just move to another one.
