First, identify at least one source that discusses the creative process used by a writer, scholar, researcher, musician, artist, scientist, designer, coder, entrepreneur, or other creative person you are interested in. Ideally, you will find a lengthy written interview, but your source could also be a video or another type of source where your subject talks directly about their creative process and how the person’s process connects with the writing process research articles.
Write an essay in which you analyze the subject’s process in light of the concepts and findings of writing process researchers. Answer these questions: How does this person’s creative process work? How does this person’s process fit into previous research into writing process? What might this person’s process teach us about the writing process, in general?

Two interviews to use:

and any two the writer can find.
The ultimate “deliverable” of this assignment is a written article. Consider using the IMRaD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) or a basic introduction-body-conclusion format. Or, you might use a more personal approach, in which you discuss your interest in your subject and frame your analysis as a personal “search” for information.
Your article should probably be between 800-1200 words. As always, quality is more important than quantity.
at least one source that discusses your chosen writer’s process, and at least one of this unit’s readings on writing process research.
