What have I been doing all this time, exactly?  Experiencing our miniature festivities of the closing year and completing my debut screenplay (ha) so I can then focus on completing my course work and then write and paint ’till the end of time….or something to that effect.  Believe it or not, I think the script is more or less finished.  I have over 120 pages (the standard length for a 2 hour film) and now need to print it all out and edit, edit, edit and then perhaps never have to look at the thing again.  Well, it’s not that terrible of an experience, but spending over a year on a writing project gradually drains your creative interest for it.  However, the New York Times now has their ancient archives online now so recently I found some fascinating pieces of information to incorporate into the story.

Here is a video of our other homeschooled friends, Andrew and David, giving Joseph a lesson in sword fighting tactics which they have been learning recently.  No, that’s not me playing the Rondo Alla Turca, even though I can play that song.  I was filming!  This video is also on my YouTube account (SincerelyAmanda) if you would like to comment on it there.

The other night I redesigned Mom’s blog.  I couldn’t make a suitably sized banner for the header at the time, so I just removed the header above it.

Priceless Purity is fixing to go professional thanks to the help of Eric Novak.  I’m hoping to get my own site as well this year.  Resolutions, resolutions…

Last night we went to see the fireworks at Ft. McClellan.  They were outstanding!  Abigail filmed it with our brand new 8-mega pixel camera.  After that we met Grandmomma and Granddaddy at Roma’s and had pizza.

Well, I have to go eat New Year’s dinner.

Farewell and MAY GOD BLESS YOUR NEW YEAR,

~Amanda~

Sorry I haven’t been by in a while. Hopefully that will change, eventually. 😉

So, who was playing the piano in the sword fighting video? I play that Mozart piece as well so it was fun hearing that on there.

I’m afraid this is rather short but I must be off. Have blessed night.

RYC: I have always loved finding the parallels in Narnia, and I think that they really add to Lewis’s story. I did think it was kinda’ neat that he made his story stand on its own legs though and didn’t just use the Bible as a base.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that list, if you find it let me know. Sounds interesting.

Hey Amanda!
I’m glad you all had a good Christmas and New Years. Congratulations on being halfway finished with your script! Editing is where I always end up giving up and never finishing, unfortunately. Let me know when your script is made into a movie, I want to go see it!
Love,
Briana

RYC: Haha, global warming is so fake. It does seem like it is a bit cold for it anyway. 😛
