Getting Closer...

85,000 words done.

I'm close. Oh boy oh boy, am I close. I spent today writing the HUGE fight at the end, and had such a good time doing it. It's a fight scene on a scale of nothing I've ever written before. So. Much. Bloody. FUN.

I've got a few more chapters until I get to the ACTUAL end, and then I have to go back and link everything up. There are whole chunks of chapters I haven't written yet, so all of that will probably take another 10 or 15,000 words, which means this book will easily be as big as Mortal Coil, if not bigger.

My deadline is the end of March, so I reckon I'll make it without a problem. Then another month or so of big edits, then another few weeks of little edits, which should take us to May or June. Then we let it sit while we decide on a title, then we get it printed, then we send it out to reviewers, and then suddenly we're in September, and you're holding it in your greedy little Minion-y hands.

If everything goes according to plan, I see no reason why we can't give you a sneak preview sometime in early summer or thereabouts.

I have another few weeks of intense work ahead of me, and then I can go back to having a life. Yayyy!

    YAAAYYYYY!!!!

    I can't wait! Usually, I make it a policy not to read excerpts or sneak peeks of a book before it comes out. I want the whole thing at once. But this time, I'm not sure I'll be able to wait. This is inspired!

    LOL My greedy little minion-y hands are desperately itching for this book which I KNOW will be a complete and utter masterpiece!! AHHH I can't wait!! It's going o be soooo good!!! You know how badly I hate waiting? There's was this anime that I was watching, and then the season ended and I was going to have to wait till next autumn [last autumn, now]. So when it came out, I didn't watch it till all of them had come out so I could watch episode after episode online! That's how much I hate waiting!!! Gah, but I know I have to! Maybe you could give us a sneak peak extremely soon?? :D

    An image is worth a thousand words, even if it may not be worth 85,000...

    But this is me.

    By the way, Master Derek, Lizzy and I were talking and she was telling me about this girl she's heard about. Then I said something and it reminded me of something Skulduggery Pleasant would say. So I'm going to have to tell you. :]
    First, let me tell you, there's this girl named Sara, but her nick-name is Ishy. This is what I said

    "...Ishy, the singing, one-legged marksman.... What a fun title!"

    16. Can you rap?
    17. Are you capable of doing a cartwheel?
    18. Do you ever sleep with some sort of stuffed or non-stuffed animal or perhaps a doll?
    19. Did you know that black isn't a color, but a shade?
    20. Are you hungry right now?
    21. What are some of your favorite day's of the year? (a birthday, holiday, just a random day)
    22. Do you prefer a one digit, two digit, or three digit number?
    23. Do you like pumpkin pie?


    Okay I'm done for now! I really hope you answer this because it would make me so happy and I would find it incredibly amusing...as I'm sure others would too.

    like i said im writing a short story for LA and look at what ive wrote i didnt realize how creepy it was until i reread it :P



    I stare at my blood stained hands unsure of what just happened. A man, torn to shreds, lies at my feet. A dagger, my dagger, plunged into his chest. Shadows lick his face, a ruby stained memory of what was once human. His lifeless green eyes pierce through the sea of red. I bend down and rip the dagger out of his heart. Glancing over at his face one last time, thinking of all the pain and misery he’s caused to this world. Those lives he took, innocent and weak. No more lives shall be slain by his hand. A wave of emotion swept over me; trying to blink back tears I saw what I had hoped to never see again.

    haha The worst thing about the Skulduggery Pleasant books is that they always seem to be released towards the end of the uni semester, when I am snowed under by a metric crapload of homework (and it'll be worse this year since I'm working on my thesis). However, this never stops me abandoning my academic duties for the few days it takes me to read the book after buying it as soon as it's in shops :D
    *sigh* I somehow need to finish writing the first third of my own book in the next few weeks so I can use it as part of my thesis prototype application. If only I would write in chronological order :(
    P.S. Just saw a previous post about DVDs, and agree that Doctor Who Season 5 and Sherlock were THE most epic new series to grace our TV screens last year :D
