Revision Process Bland

Laura & Kate Mulleavy
Laura and Kate Mulleavy are two fashion designers that gained inspiration from talking and finding both historical and contemporary references like: movies or books. They are quoted, “Images help us create a feeling.” This is essential because before you can start the process of writing, the author must have a focus and a theme which can be gained from visualizing or gaining energy from other sources than one’s own imagination. I like this idea, because by taking into account other references it gives perspective and relativity to writing. I find that in my own writing having some background sources to spark new idea is very helpful.

Lupe Fiasco
This artist is very creative in his process of writing. I like the idea of writing in motion with the music in the background. It seems like a natural way to get your mind to transfer and explore free-flowing thoughts. Lupe Fiasco understood that environment and positioning of the body can affect an individuals thought process, this is helpful to me because if you can find those environments that trigger positive energy for writing. I also liked that he discussed the idea that everyone takes different amounts of time to finish projects. In my own projects I should worry less about how much time spent doing work and more about the process itself.

Paul Simon
Paul Simon has a practical approach to looking at songwriting. Describing himself as a poet and determining that writing is a private matter that is not always discussed, he did discuss his own personal preference to write with white paper and silence. I also liked that he talked about writing in bursts of energy, which for me I can only write if I am inspired and passionate about the topic. I can use this to always remember to be connected and establish meaning in writing, even if I do not need to use a well-phrased sentence to get my point across.
