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.

HERE GOES:
10 Signs of When It’s Time to Take a Shower
(Because Sometimes, We All Need Guidelines)
1. When people start to leave the room you enter because you smell like dead fish. Drenched in vinegar oil. Stuffed into the sewer.
Just for when the blog breaks anyway race or no
go to http://dereklandyoverflow.blogspot.com/2011/05/overflow-twenty-two.html
2. When your armpits are green. That usually means they’re moldy, which means before your shower you ought to consult a doctor. Because mold is not good when it is on the human body.
Pfft I know when to ruby!
Smells armpit - *faints* ..or maybe not..
3. When your hair looks like you’ve recently finished a performance of Grease. And if you’re striving for that gorgeous T-Bird look, think again. They use products for that. Some things shouldn’t be formed naturally. Hair gel is one of them.

4. When you look at your fingernails and say, “Wow, I though I washed that black nail polish off a while ago.” And then you realize that you did, in fact, wash that off a while ago.

5. When brushing your teeth just doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Because it’s not.
6. When your younger brother holds his breath even though he’s got a sarcastic comment right on the tip of his tongue… Toxic fumes are a clear warning sign that you should get cleaned up. Also beware breathing fumes in yourself. If you aren’t in the vicinity of a shower, put on a mask as to not inhale dangerous vapors and SPRINT.
7. When you’re combing your hair and pull out a feather. Thoroughly brush out hair before performing bath or shower – substantial amounts of water may drown the birds in there.
8. When you lie in the sun for a few minutes, and then can’t move. This effect is called baking. It happens to wet dirt. Like what you are covered in when you desperately need a shower.
I g2g now... night all...
*hugs Kallista*
Night...
Ha I find my self checking hair, armpits, teeth and nails XD
Bye Dragona!

9. When you are a known sufferer of procrastination. You could be putting that shower off as long as possible – DON’T. It gets much, much harder as time goes by. Be encouraged by the fact that it doesn’t need to be a long shower. It could be in and out in a few minutes. Just get in there before your stench kills someone!

10. When you have gotten down to here. After reading this, you probably feel totally grossed out and wondering if you do actually need a shower, though when you started you didn’t think so… Trust me. You do.
Please, go have a shower.
