Document Your Creative Process for a Retrospective
You finished the big project and the temptation is to move straight to the next one. Before the memory blurs, this documents the process: where it started, the key decisions, what you learned, and what you would do differently. Useful as a record for your future self, and good enough to share with others curious about how the work actually got made.

The user has completed a significant creative project and wants to document how they made it, what they learned, and what they would do differently, both for their own future reference and potentially to share with others interested in their process. {PROJECT_NAME} is the completed project.

<task>
**Write a creative process retrospective:**
1. Genesis: where did the idea come from and what made this project feel worth pursuing?
2. Process: what was the sequence of work from first idea to finished piece? What were the pivotal decisions?
3. Surprises: what emerged during the making that was not planned and how did you respond?
4. What worked: the approaches, tools, or mindsets that helped the most
5. What you would change: if starting again with the same goal, what would you do differently?
6. What you want to carry forward: the one practice or insight from this project to bring into the next
