Wilco's approach to creating a song is that they get an idea and break it down to the basic elements of the song (music, lyrics) and then they build on those elements to improve them. This way they are able to see all the possibilities available for the song. They can then reconstruct the song altogether and review it once more so they can add and remove parts of the song to make a new song.
My creative process for writing is not very extensive. I first go through the few main ideas that I want to focus on. From there, I create a thesis. After this I build on the few main ideas, brainstorming details for each subtopic. I then go to write my first draft, which is usually very long and detailed. I then go back through what I have written and take out where I have messed up and added unneeded details. I also go back checking for grammar and spelling; particularly too many commas. After this I go back and make sure that my piece is where I want it to be by reading through it out loud. I reread my piece and make sure that my final draft is okay.
