Ahem.
Just a brief note to update you on how the work is progressing. So far, every book has been longer than the one before. The first book was about 75,000 words, and Mortal Coil was over 100,000. With Book 6, I'm planning on continuing that trend, but I don't know by how much.
I've been working away at the first section of the story, the first quarter of the book, dipping in an out of scenes and chapters... Even though, officially, I started this book on November 6th, a lot of things have been taking up my time, so I've really only been able to seriously write in the past week. And in the past week I've written almost 20,000 words. That's roughly a fifth of the book, and I've done it in six days.
I am on a ROLL.
Praise be to me!

probably skulduggery and valkyrie are suppost to find out the identity of darquesse by the council of elders, but there might be more then them that are suppost to find out who darquesse is... so maybe theyll get onto valkyrie... idk, random thought i had in my head.
NO SCHOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!
SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OFF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On for a second...
Alright, I am not angry anymore but I'm going to take time off to write my book. Golden God, your advice REALLY helped me. And when I say REALLY, I mean immensely so. Oh, and because of "a water problem" or some such thing, school buses have been cancelled. So no school for me. Sadly though, I had to stand outside for about 15 minutes BEFORE I realized, "ya, I don't think the bus is coming". So basically, when I couldn't feel my legs anymore was when I decided to come back inside. And now I'm here, and off to write...
Just waiting for my tea...
...God I'm cold...
J'ai froid parce qu'il fait froid dehors.
Hey!
can't wait for the new book =)
.... where does one start with building a giraffe?
*sigh*
hi guys... *crawls in*
hey Kall- I mean puppy
ok, no problem. i really should work on fanfic to but my brain isn't properly :P
thanks, but i still need to type
Hi all... A VERY funny thing happened today :D
Snowballing.
We were going into lunch, me TC, Joe, Greg 2 and a few other people, and we were like, "Where's Greg One?" and TC went "We've left him behind!" and then Greg two comes and puts his hand across his chest and says "I don't leave anyone behind!" and then started singing the national anthem, we all joined in, and then we went to rescue greg... well, Greg Two did... he was running across the snowballs, and when one came close to him he dived and it was SO funny, and then he rescued greg and we went into lunch...
Hey people.
Its 4:26pm over there, they should be on... oh god i had something funny to say here but my brain is so fried i can't remember :/

skyril likes my poems!
I've never seen transformers.
Hi Octa...
your poems rock
Octaboona, do you know anything about Renaissance Architecture?
Then you won't know it Darkane...
Octa, I think it is:
Hey-Ash-Ee... I'm not sure though...
archetecture, awesome
*starts listening, then gets bored*
I had a fight today... on the bus... and I won... it wasn't MY fault...
are you all sure how to say my name?
fight on a bus, were there teachers or a driver
It's a bit easy Thrice...
Octa your poems are really good!
It was a driver, it was an old bus with no CCTV or no way of seeing upstairs...
profile updated
sorry but my internet is slow
because i've finally finished mary's poem and its a rhyming one
if its hey ash ee then its fine
if its hey ash i
then it needs a bit of rewriting
@kallista/Puppy
i have thought about doing one myself
but i don't know quite yet how it will go
Kallista, how are you doing with your fanfic?
"Brambo twitched the sniper left by a centimetre, he was going to get Dragona back for nearly destroying him. His arm and stomach had to be rebuilt, and now he was going to kill one of Dragona's friends. He had thought about killing Dragona himself, but Sarthacus said he wanted to do that. The sniper, his favourite, the Parlov, had been fitted with a laser sight, as well as a traditional sniper scope.
But who should he kill? He had files on everyone, of course. Alex Rider, Kallista, they were in a couple apparantly, Florence Black, Israel, Nicolette Croga, Skyril, Skylara, Bridget Whiplash, Evangeline Crow and Darkane Claw.
He couldn't choose, he hated them all the same. He aimed his sniper towards Kallista, then Florence, Nicolette, before finally choosing Israel to shoot.
He smiled, and prepared to pull the trigger."
^^^^^^
Sneak peak of my fanfic :P
updated again
Dragona you just inspired me to go write fanfic,when all i want to do today is slack off. curse you :/
cool dragona
sorry Lizzy...
The internet holds no answers.

thanks Thrice...
happy
Well its not every day you see giraffe guts ...
hmmm
is isreal going to die?
Not telling Thrice :P
hi nicolette
..... Where would you start with building a giraffe
The Pursuit of Hiashiness
I’m not a lofty mountain top
With snowflakes for my hair
For mountain tops get lonely
In the pure and pristine air
Yet I am far more special
I’m the only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
I’m not a golden bird of flight
Who soars above the sky
For golden birds they miss the life
Below, that passes by
Yet I am far more special
I’m the only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
I’m not a purple blossom
Amongst a field of clover
For clover quickly withers
Once the summer months are over
Yet I am far more special
I’m the only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
I’m not a gleaming diamond
Inside a treasure store
For every little diamond has
A tiny little flaw
Yet I am far more special
I’m the only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
I’m not a sundry, scarlet leaf
At Autumn’s beck and call
For every leaf, there comes a time
When sadly it must fall
Yet I am far more special
I’m the only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
I’m not the mighty ocean
With froth upon the waves
For deep beneath its surface
Lies a multitude of graves
Yet I am far more special
I’m the only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
For I have my ambitions
I’ve my hopes, my goals, my dreams
And I also have my nightmares
And my fears and tears and screams
For I am far more special
Than the mountains, bird and sea
Than the rolling fields of clover
Than the diamond and the tree
For I’m unique amongst the stars
The only one to be
Myself, to put it simply
I’m Mary Hiashi
It's legs... because then if you do the rest it's got something to rest on...
The legs Nicolette. Get the base down so you can build from there and get the proportions right.
AWESOME OCTA!
ooooOOOOOooooo thats a realy good poem Octaboona.
Lol... Developed first in Florence...

Ok Lizzy...
That's amazing Octa.

*waits nervously for Mary*
Thanks Kallista but I've already got that. Thanks for going to the trouble of getting it though.

thats why i need to know you all well :D
It's fine Kallista. I've got 2 A4 pages typed up and I just need two more.
I really should go and study......... I'll leave it till 6.
Lol putting things off is MY speciality Darkane...

Kallista... please change your name...
@ kallista
i've read hellboys cooment!
I'm an EPICA writer lol
Ok Kallista... I hate it when I Don't save my fanfic too...
Yeh, that's alright Kallista... I don't mean to be controlling or anything... I just don't like it when people change their name...
people i need to write poems for:
Thrice
Skulgirl
Skyril
Flo
Lizzy
Hellboy
Rosella
Orius
Octaboona
Eek! The list keeps growing
I just wanted to say that I probably won't be able to write anymore for a week as I have decided to take the remainder of my mocks seriously :)
i'm probably forgetting loads of people
guess who!
kallista!
I've already answered it Kallista...
Octa, could you do another for me, that doesn't involve throwing people? I know your busy, the other one was awesome but it makes me sound evil :P
i just feel bad for them
having no poem :(
nope, I'm not Kallista
I'm not even going to answer that Lizzy... I'm just going to leave...
*fades*
I'm not Lizzy
Well I have made an A3 peice of paper to put the giraffe on ......
NOOOOOOO awwww dang it ... got a paper cut now theres blood on it
*rips 4 pages from art book and starts again*
but you are evil :)
but seriously if I have the time then I will.
I need to write the others first.
What do you want me to describe you as?
kallista wanted to be beautiful
the others i wrote them with out asking and was able to guage their personality from what I think of them and by talking to them.
But since you asked you get to decide how I portray you.
And if i write you a second one kallista will get jealous if i don't write her another as well.
This is turning into an essay!
:P fine i'm Lizzy, and i'm the real Lizzy, because if my bro took over my account i'd have to kill him
I like this name...
*falls asleep*

Hey people.
Kallista, you'll be happy to hear that I've drawn the outline of my OC. I just can't get my facial features right..... well it's actually my hair. You'll have to wait for me to get it cut before I can draw the face.
Tilly says meer
(whispers to octa) shes a special giraffe
a) she has no pattern yet
b) no tail yet
c) not tall enough to even be a new born
but I love her :)
