If the idea moves past the initial self-sorting filtering step of ideating and verbalizing it, the next journey in the creative process is writing it. Writing the idea into an outline, premise, treatment. Constructing abstract thought into legible, cogent words, sentences, paragraphs to be read by someone else. The transference of thought through the medium of paper. It is the burden of the writer to do the heavy lifting of making the words as frictionless as possible. Assuming the reader has no context, has no prior knowledge of the thought process to follow without friction, will not agree or understand completely, retaining only a percentage of what’s being conveyed.
As the creative, it will be the impossible task of turning a blank sheet into a tangible idea. Once on paper, what was once a thought is now an actual physical object on paper. This is the third step in manifesting a thought with the hopes of creating an immortal, invincible idea.
