You can gain extremely valuable insights into the creative process by spending time with and carefully observing other creative people practicing in any discipline.<br \/>\nEnjoy this process! Simply observe. Your time is better spent observing. Secondarily, you may also observe yourself and note what you tend to react to and how you tend to react.<br \/>\nResist the temptation to be analytical or critical. Time evaluating the information you collect is best spent later, when you no longer have access to such an information rich environment and when you&#8217;ve had a little time to gain some distance and perspective, letting things sink in.<br \/>\nWithout putting others on the spot,  it&#8217;s useful to ask appropriate questions of others. You&#8217;ll learn even more. It&#8217;s likely that you&#8217;ll both learn from what you exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spend Time With Other Creative People Seek community with other creative people.
