Since I began my work as a technical writer, I find that I prefer to do a lot of my brainstorming on the computer, as I type faster than I write and it eliminates the need for transcription later.
For my mess, I began by pulling four pre-existing documents that I have used to represent myself and my work over the last 14 months (artist statement, teaching philosophy, a mentorship program application, and the abstract from my poetry thesis). Through several re-readings, I pulled out repeated concepts, phrases that I liked the sound of, and moments that related back to my drive to make art. I then pulled and transcribed all of the margin notes that I have been keeping about my work through the Breakaway studio visits and other musings. Lastly, I reexamined for any apparent common themes and compiled them in a list at the bottom of the document.
Below are some images of my mess, but the entire thing can be read in a PDF on Box: https://psu.box.com/s/m71fe0kxz34yfq8nynglembjgfoha1bx
