Intro:
In December, I sent out the scripts for my podcast to the cast and booked the recording space for January

I also finally got that new computer, meaning I was able to download Adobe Premier and start practising editing (my previous computer was too old for such a program).

So on to the update!

Scripts Update:
The rehearsal and recording spaces for The Legend of Aramelle podcast are booked and I am going to work on my Troy script on the writing course which starts tomorrow.

I have been working on my goldrush script as well as a screenplay about two sisters. I know where I want to go with them both now. However, editing has been slow as I have been concetrating on sorting things for the podcast. I hope to set aside a day each for both these scripts in January so I can get back up to speed with editing them.

I have also been practising editing on Adobe Premier, which has been fun to learn. I have been teaching myself with footage from the film course I’m doing. I’ve edited the footage in a variety of different ways to learn how to use editing to tell different stories with the same footage. Though I am still very slow at it, and it would be a lot easier if I had a separate mouse for my laptop rather than the trackpad, as I keep mis-clicking.

Things Learnt:
As I have more files to work on, I’m learning the use of keeping things properly stored. Though my file system makes sense to me, it’s rather difficult for anyone else to understand, so making it easier for others to find my files, if I am working with them on a project is definitely a useful skill!

I also signed up to WriterDuet – the full version. It’s a subscription and I would prefer to buy it outright, but I’ve found it the easiest way to organise all the podcast scripts. I was using Scrivener before, where I could either have one big manuscript or 12 different files – one for each episode!
