Emily's Diary

Week 3 - The Big Project

Monday, 15th February

This morning was a whirlwind. Mr. Thompson called me into his office to discuss a new assignment: signing Elizabeth, a New York Times best-selling author, for her upcoming book series. The news was both thrilling and daunting. I know that every major publishing house is trying to get her onboard, so I'll need to come up with something truly unique to win her over.

After the meeting, I dove straight into research. Elizabeth is passionate about immersive experiences and has a keen interest in how literature can intersect with technology. I think there might be an opportunity to create something special around those themes.

Mia was incredibly supportive when I told her about the assignment. We spent the evening brainstorming ideas. I jotted down notes about creating an interactive book launch that could incorporate virtual reality, live readings, and themed decorations inspired by Elizabeth's new series. I'm excited about the potential of this idea, but there's still so much to figure out.

It feels like I'm on the edge of something big. If I can pull this off, it will be a game-changer for my career. I just need to stay focused and think creatively. Tomorrow, I'll refine my ideas and start working on a detailed plan.

Today was all about refining my plan for Elizabeth. I spent the morning going through more of her interviews and articles to get a better understanding of what she loves. It's clear that she values experiences that transport her readers into the worlds she creates. With this in mind, I'm starting to flesh out the concept of an interactive launch event.

I took a break during lunch to visit a nearby park and clear my head. That's when I saw Daniel again. He was taking photos for a local event. We recognized each other from the café and had a brief, pleasant conversation. There's something about him that's intriguing, but I can't let myself get distracted right now. Still, it was nice to see a familiar face.

Back at work, I continued working on my pitch. I'm thinking of proposing an event where attendees can step into scenes from Elizabeth's book using virtual reality. They could experience key moments from the story firsthand. Alongside this, we could have live readings and interactive displays that allow people to explore the book's themes and settings in a tangible way.

In the evening, Mia helped me brainstorm some more. She suggested including elements that reflect Elizabeth's personal interests, like having a themed cocktail inspired by her favorite drink or incorporating some of her favorite quotes into the decor. These little touches could make the event feel even more personal and special.

I feel like I'm getting closer to a solid plan. Tomorrow, I'll start drafting my proposal and maybe even set up a meeting with a virtual reality company to see if they can help bring this idea to life. There's a lot to do, but I'm feeling optimistic.

Today was all about making connections. I started the morning by drafting a detailed proposal for the interactive launch event. My heart was racing as I typed out the ideas, picturing how everything could come together to create an unforgettable experience for Elizabeth and her readers.

After lunch, I reached out to a few virtual reality companies. One of them, Visionary VR, seemed particularly interested in the project. We scheduled a meeting for tomorrow to discuss the possibilities and how we could integrate their technology into the event.

Mr. Thompson seemed impressed when I showed him the initial draft of my proposal. He suggested adding a few more interactive elements, like a Q&A session with Elizabeth and perhaps a behind-the-scenes look at her writing process. I jotted down these ideas and started incorporating them into the plan.
