I have just recently come to the conclusion, and by conclusion I mean due date, for my multigenre project exploring my love for Disney. I say I have come to the conclusion, because I can't honestly say that I've really finished. I mean, I have a lot more to say and many more genres I could explore. I wanted to make some crossword puzzles and word puzzles for my daughter and nieces to work on during our next vacation. I wanted to make a soundtrack, but I couldn't figure out how to legally share and post all of the Disney songs I wanted to share. Over the course of creating this project, I worked a lot with the photos from our first Disney trip in 2012, but I still have a lot of photos and video from our 2013 trip to work with. And the list goes on and on. Oh, and I'm a perfectionist, so I could tweak that project for years and still find ways to improve, add to, rearrange, or just plain work on it.
For me, the writing of this collection of genres really was a process, and one I thoroughly enjoyed. For example, I had video footage that I recorded of my daughter last summer that this project encouraged me to finally sit down and edit together; if not for the interview genre, I may have just let that video continue to languish on my hard drive for who knows how much longer. This project also helped me get into the Disney spirit. We are actively counting down to our next trip there, and we have just made our ADRs (advance dining reservations), but now we have to wait until June in order for our next round of official bookings to occur. Working on the multigenre helped the time pass by more quickly. Oh, and it was fun to write and explore something I really love: my family and Disney.
