The creative process is a bit of a mystery. Sure, there’s an element of studying, being authentic, and just showing up everyday, but to truly quantify everything that goes into the creative process is difficult. In an interview with Zane Lowe, famed American music producer, Rick Rubin stated it like this:

We really have no control of it happening. It’s the reality. It’s a frustrating job in many respects because… it’s like fishing. You can go out fishing, but you can’t say I’m gonna catch three fish today… We have very little control over this process. It’s magic, really, [that's what’s] happening.
