A Daunting Challenge

Well, i would love to say that this was a project born of personal interest and a supreme moment of motivation, however it is, as i am sure is obvious, a university assignment imposed upon me complete with an ever looming deadline. Therefore i must stop staring out the window imagining myself to be a successful sleuth worthy of my own afternoon TV drama and outline what needs to be done and how.

The Challenge: To write an article on the mind-blowingly interesting life and times of a person laid to rest over thirty years ago in NSW, but whose legacy is of importance to the state's development.

Oooooh that is a hard one!. You are not going to be able to pull that one out the night before the deadline are you? ....Notice, i am creating a team feeling for this project by talking with myself.

Firstly i must find a focus or direction. There is so much information out their; online, in libraries, state records and so forth that without some kind of idea of the person i am going to bring back from the grave, conducting my research will be like wading into a murky river without waist high water-proof boots on.

This calls for a break and a snack, until an epiphany hits me like a mid afternoon sugar craving.
