Prompt

Think of a time when an idea, an "answer," or any other creative solution came to you. A paper, a presentation, a friendship issue or romantic problem, a work conflict - doesn't matter! It could be any moment you may have experienced an "aha" moment.

Your task is to describe your experience and discuss how Graham Wallas's stages of creativity (preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification) apply to your experience.

Make sure you describe how each of the stages apply -- or don't apply -- to your experience..
