Blog by Michelle Geromel talking about love and passion in life and in art. The Creative Process| 17 February, 2011 04:48 
The Creative Process is
not one size fits all. I remember writing a paper in middle school.
My desk blotter was my outline, my notes, everything but the final
piece. My teacher reduced my grade because I couldn’t show him a
“proper” outline. As if that was the ONLY way one could properly draft a
paper.
After
this - I tried to make my creative writing process fit with his - years
later - I was still trying to come up with an outline. And since my
brain just honestly does not think that way, I started using colored
notecards, that I could then arrange into thoughts - and then type up
the stupid outline required for professor or teacher. Because they
didn’t get how my brain worked, they wanted me to create in the way their brain functioned best.
For
years - and years - this is what I did. Tried to smoosh my creative,
right-sided thinking into left-sided school and business worlds. And it
worked. Scarily well, actually. I had everyone thinking I was just
like them, amazingly left brained. When in fact I was the opposite.
And it was exhausting. All to get that little star on my paper, or the
top rating on my corporate reviews.
Now,
maybe my life is a little messier. But it is a lot less exhausting -
because I finally allow myself to just be. To create (writing, drawing,
painting, photography) all how my brain works. And I hope that when I
teach, I allow each student to do their own thing. And to not conform
to what I do - because there is no one way to creativity.
I
think one of the things I have learned on this creative journey is that
in the creative process there is no one right answer. Period.
So
ironically, the only time in the creative process where the answer one
size fits all is this truth: THERE IS NO ONE WAY. The paths to creative
development and creation are many and varied and each should find their
own way. Trying out of a few paths for size along the way, and
creating a process that works well for him or her.
Has anyone else found this to be true for them?
CommentsIm in high school now and i see people gettin bullied everydayI just wish the teachers in our school do something but you cansay do but they really dont&.. My friend taris get bullied by half theSophomores and i do be trying 2 stop it but i cant take down all ofthem&[] Reply:March 18th, 2011 at 11:29 am, Thats crazy and so not ok. Good for you for sticking up for your friend, I think you should keep doing that and even telling the principal or teachers IN WRITING. Sometimes adults will respond more when they know the complaint is being documented and tracked. Tell your friend Taris to hang in there, speak up and know that those bully sophomores are really probably just messed up in someway themselves. Like the saying goes, Hurt people hurt people.

They wouldnt even think of doing it because it would never accur to them. Homeschoolers think more like adults do that way, because they live in a more mature free world. In government factory modeled Indian-caste, Prussian modeled schools, you have kids raising kids for twelve years long of their most informative years. And you loose all your rights, kids have to ask to go to the bathroom for goodness sakes. Thats wrong.empire health insurance | 28/04/2012, 00:11 This more than likely would never happen with homeschooled children. They wouldnt even think of doing it because it would never accur to them.
