On Thursday night, I accepted the award for Best Children's Book of the Year (Senior) for Mortal Coil, to rapturous applause from everyone who loves me. Yes, fine, that means I was applauding myself as I made my way to the stage, but it still counts, dammit...
Here is the beautiful award on my mantlepiece...
I also picked up a SECOND award, for I am THAT brilliant- this time it was for the Book of the Decade thing I won a few months back. Here are BOTH awards on my mantlepiece...
Yes. I have a cool house.
Thanks to everyone who voted- it's because of you, my Minions, that the Skulduggery books do so well at things like this. And I just LOVE getting up on stage and making fun of everyone. Makes me so happy...
And, now that I've remembered how to post photos, I'll add a few random ones...
These are home-made jackets worn by two girls who came to signings a few months ago, one in the UK and one in Germany... Sweeeeet.
And here are two pictures of kittens I used to have, before I found good homes for them...!

Hi Bebo Kate!
And Sarthacus, I vaguely remember you asking what line spacing I use when writing... You asked it in a really subtle way, so my answer is, um, I dunno... The normal spacing on Word?
What an odd question.
Oh, and for those who asked, I do know what Goldeneye is, but I haven't bought it yet. I'm too busy writing!

FIVE FREAKING DAYS.
THAT'S how long it took for the last blog to fill up. MINUTES after it 'broke', I FINALLY managed to find the time to bask in Derek's awesome words, and yet I couldn't comment.
To say the least, I'm P.O.'d.
If we all just gave one comment and left, like i'm going now, more people would be able to share their opinion!
To address the content of this latest blog, I must say, DEREK PWNS! To receive not one award, but two, is truly something to applaud for. Congrats, Derek, congrats.

A BLOG EVERYONE AFFLICTED WITH SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT MUST SEE.

THIS MEANS YOU DEREK LANDY!
Hope you like it.:3
GO THERE MINIONS! GO!
AND DEREK!
And Now I have to hurry and and finish this comment, cuz I have to leave right after.
I am NOT advertising my own blog/webpage/fanfiction or what, it's a petition for anyone who doesn't live Ireland but would like to have Derek Landy tour in their country.
*End of Shameless advertising alert*
Once again Golden God, you pwn, and congratulations. I hope to see you soon, whether in another blog post, a new SP book, or as Supreme ruler of the world. Any one is fine.
Signing off,
Mercy Plain.
P.S. Most likely I'll have to post this multiple times, to get the message of the one comment thing and Derek as ruler of the world across. How Ironic.

My dog'll attack you if you do that. He's very protective.
Don't think of yourself as an ugly person. Think of yourself as a beautiful monkey!

someone in my school wrote in the girls bathroom on the mirrors with lipstick "you are beautiful" and some people were like why is that vandalism???
MARY SPEAK TO US DONT JUST COPY AND PASTE!!!
they closed the bathroom after that and reopened it the next day
Oh he's nice for the most part, it's just if I'm in trouble and whatnot. He'll even attack my dad when he and I are play fighting.
