As a creative person,you may have experienced firsthand the frustration of being asked certain questions that seem, well, off puting. It's important to remember that not everyone may understand or appreciate the creative process, and may ask questions out of ignorance rather than malice. However, that doesn't make the questions any less annoying. Here are a few common questions that creative people are often asked:
1) Where do you get your ideas?
This is perhaps one of the most common questions we are asked, and it's also one of the most difficult to answer. Ideas can come from anywhere and everywhere – a conversation, a dream, a piece of art, a random thought. It's impossible to pinpoint where an idea originated, and asking a creative person to do so is like asking a fish where it gets its water.
2) Can you just whip something up real quick?
It's not that simple. Creative work takes time and effort, and it's not something that can be done "real quick." It requires planning, execution, and often multiple revisions before it's complete. Asking to "whip something up" devalues the work that goes into it and shows a lack of understanding for the creative process.
3) Why don't you just copy someone else's work?
The creative process is about originality and individuality, not copying someone else's ideas. While it's true that all art builds on what has come before, it's important to bring something new and unique to the table. Asking a creative person to copy someone else's work shows a lack of respect for their own artistic vision.
4) Can't you just use a template?
While templates can be useful for certain projects, they can also be stifling for creative work. Many creatives prefer to start from scratch and let their ideas flow freely, rather than being constrained by a template. Asking a creative person to use a template may limit their ability to think outside the box and come up with something truly original.
5) Why is it taking so long?
Creative work takes time, and it's important to allow for that time to be taken. Asking a creative person why something is taking so long shows a lack of understanding for the effort and attention to detail that goes into creating something truly great.
In conclusion, it's important to remember that creative work requires time, effort, and a unique perspective. Asking some of these questions can be frustrating and disrespectful to the creative process.
It's always better to ask thoughtful questions and show appreciation for the work that goes into creating something original and beautiful.
