So thanks for sharing your amazing process. You are beautifully organized indeed. I am different. I go by flow; whatever catches my attention and resonates. If I force myself to be organized like in a corporate job setting, my creativity is blocked. Paradoxically, when I do not force "it", I found to be more productive - more so than than using a detailed plan. So that is my plan so far - and it has worked LOL.
Another thing I practice - I do not like that word, I prefer no practice, spontaneity ( Tao), is to get out of my comfort zone and do challenging things - like take workshops in say like: 书法 Shūfǎ or 山水画
Shānshuǐhuà. I know this may not work for some people. You have to find your way in your journey of exploration and that is exciting when you do and it all comes together -- then you move onto the next thing LOL
Excellent that you like and have those skills.
Not many have the patience, like my tutor who says she can't do calligraphy. I can't believe she said that.
By the way, your pic is intriguing and it inspired me to write fast.
Shufa And The Bird
---------------------
I saw a rare bird in the forest
among the blooming wild flowers
verdant growth I saw everywhere
life was teeming and buzzing
I dabbed my ink brush in water
and then onto the ink block
My brush touched the rice paper
without lifting traced an outline
No thoughts. My hand kept drawing
Then I realized this is not a bird
It was sage smiling with a cell phone.
I kept drawing faster.
before the bird flew away.
