Holiday Season

It has been the christmas holidays which I have enjoyed very much. I did intend on getting a lot of stuff done but sadly it did not happen. I had emailed a few different people regarding reference images of the hotel/asylum I was basing my environment on. Sadly I have had no reply and so had to proceed with a different approach.

Researching further into the St. Columbas Lunatic Asylum I discovered a book, entitled 'The Secret Scriptures' which involves an old women who used to stay at St. Columbas Lunatic Asylum. This story is based on true events so I got myself the book in hope for some story ideas I can apply to my own piece.

The things I hoped to accomplish by the end of the holidays (12th Jan) were:

• Read and blog 2 books
• Complete 2 Case Studies
• Have my story complete
• Have a level plan design mapped out

So far none of these have been fully complete. I have done a considerable amount but not finished anything entirely. I am hoping to tie of loose ends in the next few days and have the books complete and perhaps a rough story made up. Then the following week will be used to complete story and level plan. As for the case studies - I have started them but wish to speak too my supervisor before wasting anytime on them so this will perhaps be a further weeks task.
