Creative Process

What I learned about the creative process...  

During my project, I learned so much about killing your darlings (Dietz, Lynda 2021). With so many ideas streaming through my head, it was extremely hard to organize what I wanted to commit to along with what may not work as well with my intentions. With the strategy of "killing your darlings", where you take the time to analyze how each idea would impact the meaning that reaches your audience and "kill" the ones that do not contribute as well, I was able to organize my ideas and implement them much more easily. Of course, I also had manage my time much more strictly with a large project such as the capstone. By utilizing the work plan we created in CPSA250, I knew how to pace myself as well as how much work I had to do each week. It helped make the process much smoother and less stressful.
