Description
This is a first, very rough, draft of a modern-day Jane Eyre with the working title "Moorland Hall", which I began during NaNoWriMo 2010. Got stuck after 17k words and haven't written any more since then. There is a part of it which in part is polished a lot more in comparison (the meeting in not-Hay Lane), because that part was written as part of a course in creative writing, and it went through about five re-writes, whereas the rest ... well, the rest I haven't even read since I wrote it! I stopped writing because I just got stuck with the house party. As I was writing, I was bored and then it dawned on me that one of the reasons for being bored was because a house party is so NOT modern. You can't have people (even fashionable, rich people) go off to someone else's for a couple of weeks and then have them stop by for a couple of weeks. It felt completely off, and at the time, I was stuck trying to think of something to use instead that WOULD work in a modern setting, and ended up just shelving the whole thing instead. Anyway. Feedback is much appreciated, even though it's just a rough first draft so there is a lot to be desired. Plot is one, checking chronology with the original another. I was also thrown off a bit because I messed up one day, jumping ahead of the plot.
