Discussion: Importance of Creative Flexibility In The Writing Process
This solution is based on an enquiry that I received from a student and writer about how to balance out the rigidity of planning plot details with having creative flexibility to accommodate new ideas during the writing process. This is essentially a look into the balancing process of proper planning versus creative freedom without 'losing the plot', so to speak.
Actual Enquiry: I am often conflicted about the amount of effort that is invested in the planning phase of the writing process and having to keep the creative side in check while writing. I am always left wondering what do with new ideas that come up while writing, ideas that I think might improve the creative value of my literary piece. What are some of the core factors worth considering when trying to conceptualise and evolve upon an idea in creative writing?
