The creative process isn’t magic. It’s a map - and Graham Wallas drew it over a century ago. 🗺️

While researching my first book, You Should Leave Now, I kept coming back to his 4 Stages of Creative Breakthrough:

💎Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification.💎

These aren’t just steps for artists, they’re a framework for anyone brave enough to make something new. Whether you’re writing a book, planning a retreat, or redesigning your life - understanding how creativity actually works changes everything.

Save this one. You’ll want to come back to it. 🔖

✨ Which stage do you find hardest?

Love,💜
