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.

MWA 3 – Creative Process Case Study Analysis

The Task

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. Possible places to find a source include:

· The New York Times, ” Writers on WritingLinks to an external site. ” https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/specials/writers.html

· Songwriters on Process  interview archives Links to an external site.

· MindCORE, University of Pennsylvania,  Interviews with ScientistsLinks to an external site. https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/outreach/interviews-with-scientists/

You may choose an interview with a writer/researcher/artist/creator from  another source. Make sure that the interview focuses largely on  process. If you have questions, ask your instructor.

Next, read your source(s) carefully, taking note of how the person’s process  connects with the writing process research articles we have studied this unit in class. 

Requirements and Specifications

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.

Your first draft should make direct reference to at least two sources: at least one source that discusses your chosen writer’s process, and at least one of this unit’s readings on writing process research.

Use MLA guidelines for source citation and document design.
