Chan is in the third stage of the creative process called insight.
Explanation:
The creative process has five stages: preparation, incubation, insight, evaluation and elaboration. The third process, insight, is the most relevant part of the process even though it’s probably the shortest one. In this stage, artists who have a blockade, resolve it (“Aha moment”) by stepping aside of work and doing some low-level activities (like taking a walk, shower, break etc.).
