Self-studies on creative processes in musical composition are scarce. And so are studies on processes of female composers. Driven by these problems, I decided to investigate my own creative processes. I started with all those that occurred up to now, focusing the study on the inspirational sources of the processes. I sought to know not only what they inspired, but also how they appeared in the processes and my path, thus bridging literature gaps. Through a preliminary analysis of the data – which I collected by writing accounts based on the available sources of information – I developed a framework to analyse systematically my data, which may be used by other researchers in similar studies.
