It has been a while since I wrote anything for this project, however I know that I have enough words for the assessment. I am a little upset with myself because I haven't completed what I wanted to get done. This year was mapped out and I was adamant that I would get at least the activities done. I am left with five tasks not done and about five hundred words left to write.
All the research is done and the first drafts of that are completed, ready for workshopping. I have more of the fictitious letter writing (with a quill and ink) to do so that they fit within each chapter. It is hard to do these letters because it physically hurts if I go beyond a page. There are nine left to finish!
So, what have I achieved from this project? I think it has been a difficult process and I am now understanding that it could go beyond what I have already achieved and become something much more in-depth. I also think that I have learnt some valuable lessons about taking on a history based topic that involves role-playing and learning new skills.
I want to say that I also feel, that even though I have lost some of the momentum I had at the start of the year, I have learnt a considerable amount about putting together a project that may one day turn into a book. I have also gained an insight into my strengths and weaknesses and how I can utilise and develop my skills in order to finish a project such as The Jane Austen Experience.
So, where to with The Jane Austen Experience?
I hope to finish it one day and self-publish it.
To all the writers who are working to achieve their goals, I feel a kindred spirit with you all!
It is hard work!
