Chapter Seven is Here!

8 03 2010

That’s right, you heard it here first: Chapter Seven of my novel Fallen is up and ready to read. And now I move on to eight. It’s a miracle; it’s as though this story wants to be written to its fullest extent–it’s as though this story is writing itself.

The Blue Book

11 08 2009

Announcing the newly published Blue Book of Amanda’s thoughts. I typed up my handwritten ponderings and posted them on wordpress for all to see. If you’d like to read them, click this link.

As for other things… they’ve been relatively good. I’m excited to see where the future takes me. I’ve started planning a novel… a sort of love story/murder mystery/general teen fiction…. I don’t know what it is really. I just hope it’s good.

However, I’ve decided against the characters I had been doodling– against the two I posted on deviantart previously. They won’t make it into the story. But it was certainly fun to draw still. Also, I’ve been feeling motivated to create desktops. I’m kinda excited about that.

Anyway, lots of stuff going on right now and I hope I can get it all done. But for now, I need to go rummage through the refrigerator so I can fill in that Eating: blank. I’m pretty hungry.

Penguins,

Amanda





New Links and Some Other Stuff

6 05 2009

I’ve added a few blogs to the links page including Abduzeedo (which was recommended by a classmate), FADE IN: (the new blog by a professional who teaches at my school), The Beautiful Heresy (a universalist blog with beautiful insight), and Amtheo Musings (a theological blog by my Mystery and Mastery blogmate).

You should check them all out. But definitely visit Amtheo Musings sooner rather than later because its author was recently nominated for “Best Armchair Theologian” and would like you to vote for him if you like his work– but only if you honestly like it. He’s worked really hard and come along way and as always it’s an honor to be recognized.

In other news, I am very close to finishing my exams– the last one is at 1:30 today, for Illustrative Photography. Then I’ll probably have a little personal Sabbath on Thursday and Friday it’s all about the graduation. My grandmother’s taking us out for dinner afterwards, but I’m not sure where yet.

I should be posting a recent blog entry from deviantart called “Shadowfruit” which I think went over well. I wrote it after a lengthy discussion of what it means to be a Christian and also after watching a long documentary about cults like Jim Jones’s People’s Temple and Manson’s Girls. All I could think was that so many people died in massacres like these and often times for religious reasons. And that to me is not Christianity. But more on this soon.

Also, I need to dig up my thought on solipsism. I accidentally deleted it in the transfer from googlepages, so now I need to either find it or type it again. It shouldn’t be too difficult to find…. I hope.

Penguins,

Amanda
