Draft notes are progress pieces that demonstrate the hard work and creative thinking that got you to the work in progress or final product of a piece. I use the notes for other creative ideas in another project if they support it. Think of these as the blueprint or outline to your work. My favorite way to keep these safe is to organize them into a binder, where I have all my brainstorming sheets and similar materials stored together, rather than scattered around. The binder works because I have the ability to take pages out, move them around and organize them differently, and more importantly, I'm always able to add more to my collection of blueprints!

Process pieces are demonstrations of the brainstorming that can be short, medium, or long in length. They are reflective and share the "how" behind something that was created. It's the emotion, guide, and decisions that were made to lead to the end project. They are NOT at all formal descriptions or explanations--but rather a behind-the-scenes. You can think of them as a look into someone's creativity, what they learned, reflection on the work itself, and the humanity behind the creation process!

These two categories are similar in many ways! Drafts can range from incomplete pieces to works in progress. However, draft notes are more of only the draft process, but process pieces is the entire background of a completed work. They are all wrapped up in a bow and fall under the label of "creative process."
