i originally thought up these questions for writers, but then i realized that they can really apply to anything - artists, composers, whatever. idk about you guys but i love to talk about my process so yeah

• red: is it hard for you to think up new ideas? list three of your biggest influences.
• orange: what do you do when you’re inspired? do you scream eureka, write the idea down in a notebook, what? 
• yellow: what do you do when you’re stuck in a block? list three sources of inspiration when new ideas are scarce.
• green: how do you flesh out an idea? does it take a long time, do you mull over it for hours, or does it come easily? describe the process!
• blue: depending on your form of art, what are some of your favorite ways to characterize, add detail, design, establish a settling, or otherwise elaborate on the piece? are you fond of world-building, or does that pose a problem for you? (customize this question if you’re an artist or otherwise)
• indigo: picture of your workspace!
• violet: describe your work habits. do you eat? do you need music? are you messy or organized? do you keep a notebook? how long can you work at a time? etc.
• silver: what’s the hardest part of a piece for you? (plot, background, etc)
• gold: the easiest? 
• black: what is your least favorite part of the creative process?
• white: your favorite? 
• rainbow: do you believe in true originality? 
• brown: what does it take for you to honestly be proud of something? 
• pink: what is the most rewarding part of being a writer, artist, etc? 
• magenta: what drives you the most insANE?

I guess this is kinda relevant! Why not?

I like talking about these things and I’m hoping some of my artist friends on tumblr will reblog it too because I’m curious about their process as well.
