Woes and Joys

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.

Aquila Felis said...

*jumps down from duck and changes back to human*
I DO look different. Aou propably wouldn't recognise me from this picture.^^
Usually my hair's open, longer than my shoulders and somewhere between light brown and brown, with a bit of red. I wear glasses, and usually it's quite difficult to get a pic of me without me smiling. ^^

Aquila Felis said...

*You not Aou

. said...

lol, i'll keep that in mind!



:D

. said...

...i just always imagine u guys SMILING!

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

i do always smile *does a big smile for Nyx*

Aquila Felis said...

Hi Dragona!
*eats his black ops*
^^

Dragona Pine said...

Aquila, I don't think plastic and a disc would taste very nice... but if you wanted to eat what's IN the game, guns wouldn't taste nice either...

Dragona Pine said...

I hardly ever smile because I'm a misrable prat :P

. said...

Thanx Skulgirl!


that's all i need, a smile!


:D

Aquila Felis said...

*smiles for Nyx, too*

Dragona, I'm sure a disk tastes better than the thought that a mistake you made will cost about 4oo euro...

*sighs*
*shakes head*
*shrugs*
*smiles again*

Don't mind me, I just needed to moan a bit.

. said...

but i LOVE eating guns!



.......and Dragona, u MUST smile!



right now!



.....NOW!



:D (like this!)

Aquila Felis said...

Btw, what's a miserable prat... doesn't sound nice...

. said...

in fact, i can't decide wat's more enjoyable...



...using guns, or eating them!



hmmmmm.....have to think that over a bit....


:P

Aquila Felis said...

I think I'd prefer eating guns over using them... I don't like them.
