This project presents a methodology for creative practice-based research, based on the project author's own research into creative digital writing (and using that work as examples where helpful). It begins with an examination of practice-based research, then compiles a model of practice-based research that pulls from the strengths of various methods of observation and analysis from several different fields, a targeted combination of auto-ethnomethodology, reflection applied to cognitive composition and creativity models, and post-textual media-specific analysis of the creative artifacts. The following sections examine each of these models of research, followed by the combined methodology model that is not only appropriate to the field of creative digital writing, but one that can be applied to practice-related research in a wide array of creative practice projects.
