Oooooooh your Golden God is not feeling well.
Your Golden God is SICK, Minions. I'm not used to being sick. I NEVER get sick. And yet, here I am, sick and feeling miserable...
So why am I posting, you ask? Am I looking for sympathy? Pffft. I need NOT your sympathy. Sympathy is for the WEAK. I post, not to share my woes, but to share my joys.
Book 6 is finished.
I have emailed it to my editor and agent, and it is currently printing out for Laura, and I now have a few days to recover from my illness before I read back over it and spot where it can be improved. At the moment, it's a long one, about 10,000 words longer than Mortal Coil. Whether it'll keep that word count after the rewrite, I don't know.
But it's done.

Oh before I leave...
I claim this page for robotic keyboard chihuahuas!

Tessa be CRAZY.
In case you hadn't noticed.
Kallista! I won't leave you! *turns into Robotic Keyboard Chihuahua and sits in her lap*
Hi.
:) I only set this up 2 days ago, and I'm already up to 13 comics (with another 2 ideas and another 2 commisioned). Ah, the things you do when you're bored...
Ribena? Why? Is this your drink of choice? Or was it the only thing you had in your cupboard? Do you like the colour? Do you like pizza? Do you like the COLOUR of pizza? How old is my fish? Do I even have a fish? Why am I asking you random questions?
This holiday (I've been off for nearly 2 weeks now) I've written 10,000, maybe 11,000 words. Most of it random fanfic. I've started 3 different fanfics this holiday, when I should have been doing homework or at least writing my book. But as long as you're writing, it's good practice, right? I hope so. Or I've been doing some serious slacking.
there is a grenade in my bathroom. i don't know why, but i blame my brother
Hmmmm....I shall name him....Squishy! And he shall be my Squishy and I shall love him!
Good plan Lizzy. I blame my brother for everything.
Ummm....is it live? Because if it is, I'd get out of there ASAP.
no, it's just my dad's training grenade. It's completely harmless unless it hits you on the head, because it's HEAVY
nah, no worrys
Ah....hang on, how do you know how heavy it is when landing on your head? Did someone throw it at you? I blame my brother. Because it wasn't me. *hides grenade behind back and whistles*
nope, it never landed on my head, its just really heavy, i so guess that it could do i lot of damage
Is my aim really that bad? Uh...I mean...is my brother's aim really that bad? *whistles some more. Because whistling isn't suspicious at all*
Hey, have you ever played "starlight" from armor games? its really good
Hmmmm...I'm doing your comic now Kallista, and I need something more distinctive than long black hair and purple. Because Tessa wears purple and has black hair...
ooo, a comic? whats it about?
LOL, those comics are funny!
I'm doing a series of comics because I got bored on holiday. I ran out of ideas, so now I'm putting people from the blog in. You can have a look, and if you want to be in, just tell me your favourite colour and something distinctive about you. :)http://potterandmowhawk.blogspot.com/
Will do Kallista - oh, and is it Aquila who keeps turning into a cat?
It's cool - you get a crown now!
Oh and Lizzy, I apologise for the appalling drawing quality, but I do them on my laptop with a trackpad, and I can't draw anyway - even less so on Paint.
Can you put me in your comics? they're really good
no problem, i also suck at drawing on the comp
Can I get a shirt colour and something distinctive then?
Hmm, well, i have glasses, brown hair, and my favorite color is green (or black, but i don't think that would work with the comics)
Thank you! I'll get you up ASAP. And yours is on the way Kallista. :)
Awesome-ness!
I'm going to have to leave soon, my mum wants to take me shopping.
Ah...does anyone know how to draw a shopping trolley?
err, a shopping cart? its just a square with a handle really, and little lines for the mesh bit
and wheels, you can't forget wheels
Hmmmm.....this is testing my non-existant drawing ability....
Just getting ready for bed guys, brb :)
ugg, tell your mum to give you a break, you're totally overworked
And Kallista - your post is up!*more confetti!*
i have to, mum is taking my shopping *dies* I'll be back as soon as i can
Byeeeeeee~!
Bye! I'll be asleep by the time you're back, so have fun!
I don't think I'm gonna do any more tonight - I'm going to bed soon. But I'll stay on for a bit longer. Because I'm nice like that.
I'm not leaving yet! Are you really that desperate to get rid of me? *sulks*
Hello? Hello? Oh great, she's left. Hurumph.
Right. If you come back, I've gone to bed Kallista! See you later! *about to make a dramatic exit, realises there's no point because there's no-one there and then just walks out the door*
*prowls in shadows*
*sits down and eats strawberry cake*
*makes an 'O' face*
MY STRAWBERRY!
ah! bye kallista!

Are you new here?

~grins cheerily~
Write more!!
yep just continuing
doesnt take long for me
cause i got an AWESOME IMAGINATION
LOL
i want to get up to the action
i luv action
luv killin zombies
lol
It takes longer for me. I enjoy doing it, though. :] I'm writing a short story fan-fiction right now. Just to take a little break from my actual fan-fic and make this other one that I've been thinking about doing for some time now.
this is the second bit so far
Meeting Scarlet Creed
They walked to the Bentley and the two girls talked to each other about fighting skills and magic. Skulduggery got into the driver’s seat and Fletcher sat next to him, the two girls just kept talking in the back seats. Skulduggery tapped the two symbols and the face retracted from his skull into the symbols and he looked back at the girls and stared. Valkyrie stared back at him “what?” she said, “You girls are really annoying when you talk,” Skulduggery said, “So,” Scarlet replied, “you don’t stop talking that’s why.” Soon the car was in silence, Skulduggery looked at Fletcher and Fletcher nodded and they teleported in front of the building where China’s library was. Valkyrie stared at Scarlet and laughed, Scarlet’s face was green and she looked dizzy, she opened the car door and spewed on the road, she closed the door and everyone in the car stared at her “what?” she said “you barfed on the road,” Fletcher replied.
Yeah, killing zombies is fun.
:P
LOL!!
Awesome
2900!
funny aye
Want to read the rough draft of the first bit of the sort story fan-fic I'm writing?
:P
:D
Yeah, lol, I love funny bits :]

i luv reading stories other people write
Wow! That was a lot longer then I thought it was!
If you wouldn't mind deleting that comment because I don't want anyone stealing it :P
Did'ya like it? :]
I've had the idea for some time now, but haven't been able to think of a story for it. now I have!
Yaaay!
~confetti flies all around~
Yaaay! Confetti!
Anyway... just that part alone has a lot of editing to do, but I still have high hopes for it turning out fantastic. :3
Anyone on?
Hullo, Pandora!
~borrows Mar's frying pan~
~points is at Pandora, narrowing my eyes~
Don't steal my idea.......
OR ELSE!
:P
LOL!
You don't either, Kallista! :P

I HATE ZOMBIES D:
You can't kill them. And they just keep coming. And coming. And they don't stop. And the won't DIE. AND THEN THEY BITE YOU. AND YOU'RE A MONSTER WHO WOULD KILL THEIR FRIEND IN A HEARTBEAT.
(Ya' know. If you had a heartbeat.)
*brings out machine gun and fires*
*laughs wickedly*

Pandora
assassin's creed is the video game
YOUR'S TOO VALKYRIE! You have a new comment :D
Thanks, Pandora! :]
I KNEW IT!
I LOVE THAT GAME
doesn't the name
SCARLET CREED sound cool though
It does indeed!
Have u played assassin's creed: brotherhood
It does xD
It's like... it reminds me of dense forests and scarlet ribbons and rivers and cool assassin's creed moves like backflips and stuff then assassination without the assassine (assassine? Is that even a word?) even know what's hit them.
For some reason, it make me think the Scarlet Pimpernel. :]
I mean even the Creed part does, for no apparent reason...
Not brotherhood, but the one before that, I think, where he's in Damascus and all of that. I played A few times, but I'm not really good at it, and I'm not really a PS3 person I guess;; My brother, however, is a BIG time PS3-er :P That's mostly how I know, and I watch him play it sometimes. It's got an awesome plot :D
i luv the slo-motion in the game when the assassin kills someone
so much detail in the killing
YOU SHOULD WRITE THAT KALLISTA!
I think it has real potential ;D
LOL, Kallista, somehow that sounds vaguely familiar :P
I wonder where Mar went...
You could be the next J.K. Rowling xD
LOL
ROB! ITS THE RED ROB GUY!
I have memories of reading rob stories...and watching that cute little cartoon movie~

I hate running... we have to do that run-a-mile-in-so-and-so-time, and after 2 laps, my stupid asthma was pretty much staking me in the lungs.
-_-
"Can-" WHEEZE "-I-" WHEEZE "-GO-" WHEEZE
^Pretty much how it played out
Umm... huh?
xD
^It's a laughing face
really good story Skyril
from one writer to another
luv it
I have no idea who/what this Mar-chu...
AWESOME!!!!!!!
I didn't know you have asthma, Pandora! That wouldn't have been fun!

Hey, Scarlet, we have a blog for OCs. If you want to e-mail Lizzy, she can put you in with the other members of he blog and you can post your OC there :]

Am I weird like that?

Why are you holding a pickle gun on me!??!

Hi Val! Hi Kallista!

I can only talk about grown-up boys. Talking about minor boys would be a little creepy. And I really don't need another boy right now, anyway, so I'll only talk about fictional boys.
Fictional, grown-up boys! Who's with me?

WORDS are POWER use them carefully
