Just got in from training...
Every muscle aches... I may have a black eye in the morning... I desperately want to take a shower and feel normal again...
But before that, my Minions, I have decided to let you know what's been happening in the Wonderful World of the Me. On the desk before me is my editor and agent's notes on Death Bringer, which I have been reading and thinking about and then applying these changes to the manuscript. I just got off the phone to Laura, and she assures me she'll have her notes by Friday at the latest.
Which means that this latest edit of Book 6 will be sent back to my editor on Tuesday, and then we'll go through it once more quickly, and then the long process of printing can begin. (And yes, I have not forgotten my plan to let you read a sample chapter before it's published!)
In other news...
I was in London on Monday morning, meeting with Big American Studio People about possibly making the Skulduggery movie. They were hugely interesting, and very enthusiastic, and they were putting forward their view on why they'd be the best people to make the film. It's early stages yet, and I made it absolutely clear that I won't be making a decision for another few months, but it was a wonderful first meeting. Next week I'm heading over again to meet with another set of Movie People, with the same understanding that I'm not about to sign away the movie rights until I've considered every angle.
But still, it's so much fun being back in Movie Mode.
Of course, it means a lot more work for me. I thought the second half of this year would be calm, allowing me to write something non-Skulduggery. But apparently, that's not going to happen. In fact, the rest of this year is going to be jam-packed FULL of Skulduggery stuff. It's a good thing I love my job, I swear to God...
I go now. My shower calls to me. My shower is weird.

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4223 Newer› Newest»Well... I guess it is a little fun. :)
I mean, at first it doesn't seem like a huge change, but then it hits you, and you realize you're an adult and you can do so much more than you could when you were younger! ...
Or not.
It depends who you are, really. :D
do u like still live with your parents or do u hav your own house?
can u drive?
do u go to collage or Uni?
I'm just really curious
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm a brand-new graduate myself! D:
But... I'm packed to move out of my mother's house (my roommates and I already have an apartment picked out), yes, I drive and I have a car (I wouldn't get very far, otherwise), and I'm signed up for the Fall term at a community college (because I've no idea what I'd like to do as a career, yet).
That's... about it. :/
oh COOL!!!!!!!!!!!
ok bye gotta go 2 sleep
Oh.... ACK!
Thank you, it's already 3:30! That's awful!
Well, good-night (or morning, or afternoon, wherever you happen to be)!
Dangit. Did I just miss people?
*mumbles* 3:30 isn't THAT late. :-P
*sobs and beats brain with muffins*
Work I implore you! I know you can write if you try brain!
*points finger at it*
The poetry is again no GOOD I say.
*sobs in corner*
The poetry is awesome.
*cuddles Octa* It will be ok. Do you need a hankie?
*walks in*
Hi all!
*walks back in*
Thanks Ann!
*beams*
But still no poems...
Hi Aquila!
*pokes Octa*
You're trying to write a poem?
Hi Aquila!
My time's almost up. :-( How are you guys?
I'm fine...
*mumbles about rainy weather*
How are you, Ann?
Mm. Sleepy. Not bad, though. Distracted by kids.
I need to feed critters and go to bed, but I'll get alfalfa all over me and it itches. :-P
*procrastinates*
*grins*
*watches Ann procrastinating*
*decides to help her by being distracting*
You're reading my story, aren't you?
*points at new part*
Hello! :D
Hi Leona!
*waves*
*gives Aquila an umbrella shaped like a turtle*
What are you writing about, Octa?
*looks at umbrella*
0.0
*wonders if she'll have to feed it*
Hi Aquila!
Keep getting distracted!
I apologise.
I was trying to write a parody of The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe replacing the raven with the Norse God Thor.
But it was too hard. My admiration for Poe has increased dramtically. Sticking to that rhyming scheme is almost impossible.
And impossible to do well.
Poor distracted purple poet...
*gives cookie to him*
^^
*eats cookie*
Mmm.... It's cookie flavour!
It is!^^
*trys to feed turtle-umbrella*
I am not caught up on your story! I'm not caught up on anybody's story. Except Ev's, cause her birthday is coming up and she requested I write a fic about her OC, so I need the reference material.
I have no idea why I agreed to this.
*turtle umbrella growls and snaps at Aquila's fingers*
Out of the kindness of your heart?
*makes puppy dog eyes*
*looks from Ann to Octa and back*
So you're both trying to write something?
...
*feels like she should write something, too*
*turtle umbrella eats the salad she's holding to it... and her hand*
0.0
Hey! I'll need that hand to write!
*mumbles*
LOL Hi Octa!
Hi Ann!
No! Not with the puppy-dog eyes! No more!
*grumbles*
I don't like puppies anymore. They get me into too much trouble.
Poem sounds cool. I think you should try again.
Bad turtle umbrella!
Spit it out! Now!
*turtle umbrella spits out the salad*
And Aquila's hand!
*turtle umbrella whines and shakes it's head*
I said drop it!
*turtle umbrella sadly relinquishes Aquila's hand*
*stares at mums coronation chicken baguette* ... just one bite :( *continues to sip her water*
... so this umbrella either eats salad or hands...
*backs away slowly*
*hides behind Leona*
Hey Nicolette!
Hi Leona!
Greetings Ann!
Salutations Aquila!
*takes hand*
*waves at Nicolette with it*
Hi Nicolette!
*hides behind Aquila who's hiding behind leona*
*bravely faces the turtle umbrella*
*whispers to Nicolette*
Let's hope it'll find some food that's easier to get than we are...
*looks at Ann*
O.o *turns around and hides behind Aquila away from hand eating umbrella thingy*
*sighs*
Time for brunch I think.
This blog (and the rest of the internet) is making me miss meals.
*longingly looks at breakfast*
But it's lunchtime.
So brunch it is.
Bye!
0.o
Now I'm in the front?
*mumbles*
*takes her bow*
*aims at turtle umbrella*
Don't come near us...
*runs away quickly from an angry turtle umbrella*
I'll leave you all to deal with it!
Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*sadly takes umbrella back and folds it up* My poor dear, nobody understands you.
Bye Octa!
...
wait...
... now I'm not only in the front but also the only one fighting it...
*mumbles*
*sighs relieved*
Thanks Ann!^^
Bye Octa!
I really have to go, too. Sky is getting light. :-P
Bye Aquila! Bye Nicolette, if you're still around!
Bye Ann!
Aw, poor little umbrella. :-P xD
:-o There is light! I guess I should go too...
Byeee!!
Bye Leona!
*leaves, too*
And gone again then.
Now I'm back... ^^

*walks in again*
Hi Destiny!

Fave prog?

I kinda like "Neues aus der Anstalt" and "heute-show", though... but they're political cabaret...^^
Ha! =) same tho I cant miss this!
Yes?
heya peeps :)
Hi Rachel!
About the small screen?!
Well, with your eyes glued to the screen you can only see the part of the screen they're on... So it'd have to be small for you to see everything.
Basically I took something literally that wasn't meant to be literally. ^^
Hi Rach!! Break
do any o you's watch ncis or csi or the mentalist? theyr awesome :)
Oh.
O-O-OK… smart
Csi…
No, dont really know what it is.. Actually crime scene investigation right?!? About any thin else?
hey sadhbh! :) your name is trying to spark something in my head...i think it means something in gaelic...
Hi I'm back.
yeah- theyre all murder investigation kinda stuff. the mentlaist is about this guy who looks like hes psychic and accidently annoyed this murderer who killed his family in pay back so the psychic guy sets out to find him whilst investigatin other murders.
ncis is the naval criminal investigative service or something like that. :)

Thanks Kallista. I know it's long. I have a blog named after it, Rubescent Sun. I only started it, like a day ago...
"rubescent" means reddening. Like, blushing.
I'm good, raven. thanks. :)
my internet is being kinda slow today.
Thanks! I though a really long time about it. I really love sunsets, so I figured it was appropriate.
