Update:

While I'm not one hundred percent back to normal, I'm certainly getting there. The medication I've been given seems to have scattered my mind a little bit, making it hard to focus- but there are only a few pills left, and once they're gone, my great and glorious mind shall return...

In the meantime, I just want to let you know that at some stage over the next few days, I'll be posting the REAL cover to Skulduggery 6 here on this Blog, and not Tom's sketch that has been doing the rounds on the interweb. Along with that, you'll also be getting the official title, which may or may not be what you're expecting.

At the moment, Tom is finishing up the cover and it's looking- no surprise here- absolutely amazing. You better have a bucket handy, because when the cover is revealed your heads are going to explode and your brains are going to need something to leak into. Which is, I'll freely admit, somewhat gross.

    I've got my bucket ready Mr. Landy! My brains are ready to leak!!
    I don't take medication when I'm sick. But my mom took medication for something else one time when I was little and got all loopy. She was talking crazy and wasn't allowed to drive, 'cause WHOO, was she crazy.
    Did you get like that?

  38. Well, I've been working on my short story today. I was thinking of posting it as a part because it's probably going to be longer than one post should have, but I decided against it because I want to be sure to continue my real fan-fic instead of this one. :]

    ReplyDelete
  39. After I write my next fan-fic part, I'll probably work on the short story some more. Maybe when I finish it, I'll post it in a series of shorter posts.

    ReplyDelete

  43. :)

    I remember!

    So at school in P.E. we are having our fitness tests. I did Flexibility today. (Sit and Reach) (really easy) You put your feet (no shoes! :D) against this box thing:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=sit+and+reach+box+pic&hl=en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=soWvTaiRC4P2tgP4oNmSAw&ved=0CB0QsAQ&biw=1218&bih=651

    If you can't see this, just google sit and reach box.
    You put your feet on it, and reach! (push the little thingy) And I got a 15 and a half! :D :D :D
    Best I've ever done ;P And the best in our class :P
    That makes me so happy!

    ReplyDelete
  44. *continues talking from under Kallista's foot and heroic pose*

    Partly the reason it makes me so happy because it's the best I've ever done. The other reasons are that it was the best in my class, I did better than the two people who ALWAYS do a it better than me, and it didn't hurt my legs! I just couldn't push my arms any farther! LoL

    ReplyDelete

    MORE QUESTIONS!!!



    yes i do like to ask questions don't i?



    1) Do you think there is such a thing as over obsessed???
    2) If you could do ANYTHING at this exact moment what would it be???
    3) Why is the book series called Skulduggery Pleasant because right now it seems to be more about Valkyrie than Skulduggery, as you reread the books you tend to notice that as the books go on there is more situations in which Val is the one in trouble or turning into a killing mechine not Skulduggery although we do see him get sucked into another demension and he gets tourtured so much he thinks he is holoucinating when Val saves him but we never really SEE what is happening when Skulduggery was in other deminsion. He was in there for 11 months yet we dont see what truley happened to him we just know he was tourtured.


    4) can you post a chapter of the new book?!



    i will NOT give up on this until the day the 6th book comes out.....then ill start pestering you on the 7th *wicked grin*

  82. Wow!!! you are any amazing writer! I have read your first three books. I live in the U.S. and I was wandering if any of your other books are going to be published in the U.S.? or am I just going to have to break down and buy theme online. And if they do is there a chance you are going to do a book tour in the U.S.?

    Thanks Megan
