Default Need a scratch pad for sentence composition inside Word.

Take a look at OneNote

Hi!
I'm a fiction writer and I use Microsoft Word primarily to compose my prose.
I find myself often going to Notepad (alongside Word) in order work on a
specific sentence's composition. It would be nice if Word had a scratch pad
feature for this purpose. I like to experiment with my words and sentence
structure before taking the finished sentence and adding it to my work in
progress. Please let me know if there is such a feature. I tried making a new
Word document to use as a scratch pad, but it doesn't work at all well. I
need the writing contained in the writing environment, which I could get if
there was a little scratchpad plugin, or something like that, inside Word,
instead of a separate application, you know, like the different dockable
panes inside Visual Studio.

Thanks for the opportunity to make a suggestion!
