It’s an unusual sensation, finishing a book.
After all those months of increasingly obsessive work, of deadlines and edits and word counts, when you send in the final draft you’re suddenly free... and you have no idea what to do with yourself.
I usually wander around for a few weeks, gazing blearily into the sun while I struggle to remember how to talk to people. A lot of housework gets done. Rooms are cleaned and shelves are put up. Bulbs are replaced. Cars are serviced. I spent three days last week putting together seven glass cabinets and rearranging my shelving system. When I was finished I stood back, nodded in approval, and then wondered what the hell was I going to do next.
Faithful Minions, ever since I finished Death Bringer I have been at a loss.
Yes, I’ve been working on The End Of The World, but that’s practically finished. It just needs another few hours of writing and it’ll be done. I’m delaying that as much as possible, actually, because I need to have something to write.
I usually play video games when I finish a book, but I finished Infamous 2 weeks ago and I still haven’t started the new Red Faction... it’s sitting there, waiting for me.
I’ve been training, of course. I have the most wonderful black eye that you’ve ever seen, courtesy of a swinging elbow that smashed into my face. Oh the fun...!
But it hasn’t all been black eyes and shelving units. For the past few days I’ve been thinking about the final three Skulduggery books. Only three left. Good God. We’re almost at the end. Well, kind of. We have three years left, which doesn’t sound so bad.
I know EXACTLY what Book Eight is about, and I know EXACTLY what Book Nine NEEDS to be about. But Book Seven... Book Seven is my last chance to come up with a brand new story idea. It has to tick all the boxes and fulfill the requirements and contain certain key moments and scenes that will lead us into the final two books, but apart from that it can be about anything. So, for the past few days, that’s what I’ve been thinking about. For the past few days I’ve been daydreaming, coming up with the next book...
I still haven’t decided on it. I thought it would go one way, then changed my mind and wanted it to be about something else, then changed my mind again. The fact is, I don’t know yet what it’ll be about, but I do know that I’m close to deciding. And when that happens, well... I’ll have started on the Final Trilogy, and in my head at least, I’ll have started to say goodbye to Skulduggery and Valkyrie. It’ll be another three years until I bid them a proper farewell, but it all starts here.
WOOOOO 1st
ReplyDeleteHi kallista :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Death Bringer is almost in my shaking hands! (Shaking from anticipation, of course, not caffeine overload. Well, maybe that too)
ReplyDelete^0^ yay never was such an earlie comment, btw if you search for a new game to play, I really liked American Mc Gee's Alice ;) really great game
ReplyDelete6th finally, I have a therory that Valkyrie dies at the end of the final book to ghastly's mothers prophecy but thats just a guess
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteJust DO NOT call Book 7 The Beginning of the End. I will murder someone if you do.
If Val dies i'll probably start chewing stuff, so PLEASE don't kill her derek!!!
ReplyDelete12th!
ReplyDeleteIT'S DONE!!!!!! *cheers* I AM SO EXCITED.
ReplyDeleteBut also sad... 66% of the Skulduggery books.. done? It's too much to bear... :(
I NEED MORE SKULDUGGERY. This book better be good, Derek :P Well. It will be. This is you. BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT END SO QUICKLY....!!! D:
Anyhow... MIXTURE OF EXCITEMENT AND HORROR. LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!
I was in the top 15! 14th, technically! That's the highest I've every gotten :P
ReplyDeleteNO DO NOT KILL VAL! IF YOU KILL VAL I WILL CRY FOR AGES AND AGES! I cry at books alot but if you kill Val this will be like the end of the world. DON'T MAKE A MINION CRY, WILL YOU? Please don't
ReplyDeleteWhy is september sooooooooooo far away....
ReplyDeleteValkyrie won't die! She'll be teaching other elementals to fly at the end of book nine.
ReplyDeleteor she could be a necromancer....
ReplyDeleteIt depends... I have a feeling she'll abandon it at some point.
ReplyDeletemaybe the whole death bringer thing puts her off a bit
ReplyDeleteIt could do... do you think Skulduggery will finally meet an untimely demise?
ReplyDeletemaybe...
ReplyDeleteIf he does it'll probably be a heroic self-sacrifice of some kind.
ReplyDeleteOr... *speculating wildly* maybe SKULDUGGERY is the Death Bringer!
ReplyDeleteyeah... that or swine flu
ReplyDeleteummm he doesn't really like necromancy so it's unlikely but, y'know, anything's possible
ReplyDeleteYes. All skeletons are surprisingly susceptible to swine flu.
ReplyDeletedo you thing someone might bring skulduggery back to life?
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Depends. I know little about how necromancy works, but it's possible that the Death Bringer can reverse death or even drag a remnant loose from its host *cough TANITH cough cough*
ReplyDeleteneed a cough sweet?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Nice to meet you by the way, what's your name? (Given or taken, I don't mind)
ReplyDeleteSophie (given) Bianca (taken) you?
ReplyDeleteFervid (taken) Emily (given). *shakes your hand like Willy Wonka*
ReplyDeletewould you be an adept, elemental, or other?
ReplyDeleteThat brought a little tear to my eye, Derek!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to write a trilogy myself and I've done half of the first book and know exactly where I'm going. I know how the story ends and what needs to happen in book 3. It's just the middle child that's causing problems. How typical.
If you're interested, I wrote a guide to combating writer's block. It might help with The End Of The World. http://valkyrievamp.deviantart.com/journal/39097617/
I'm an elemental, you?
ReplyDeleteOoh, a guide to stopping writer's block! Nice
elemental too, but i've always liked necromancy.
ReplyDeleteWhat would your necromancer tool be then?
ReplyDeletebracelet
ReplyDeleterhinna is awesome
ReplyDeleteCool.Well, I've a feeling we're taking up valuable space on the Golden God's blog. Shall we move to Facebook? http://www.facebook.com/emily.good3
ReplyDeletei'm not on facebook :(
ReplyDeletewe're only on the...... AHHHH 43rd comment!
ReplyDelete*runs off*
Oh right. Wow, 43! I bet someone will read this and be most amused. Someone might be reading it now! Quick! Say something humorous!
ReplyDeleteWhere was hadrian's wall built?
ReplyDeleteAround hadrian's garden
It's funny until Hadrian's mean neighbour knocks it down because he didn't have a permit.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was reading.
Mwah ha ha, we control the blog!
ReplyDeleteBefore i had an account i used to read people's comments
ReplyDeletedo you think the golden god is reading this?
ReplyDeleteIf so, he's probably very afraid of his crazy worshipers
ReplyDeletesometimes he posts comments, but it's quite rare
ReplyDeleteLet's speak to Derek!
ReplyDelete*sways from side to side*
Hello, Mr Landy... woooOOOOOOOoooo
ARE YOU EMILY GOOD WHO DRAWS ALL THE SP COMICS???

ReplyDeleteI can see the 'E' there...
ReplyDeleteif you copy the first one and paste it in the post a comment box you can see it
ReplyDeletei mean the second one
ReplyDeletewhat date does the book actually come out in september? im so excited! and dont kill Valkyrie! also it would be cool if somehow they got Tanith back ><
ReplyDelete1st i think but it'll probably change
ReplyDeletelook on skulpedia
ReplyDeleteah. cool, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteTHERE'S A SKULPEDIA!
ReplyDeleteyup, it's pretty cool
ReplyDeleteWow...
ReplyDeleteGah, I'm so excited about the new book. I'll burst if I can't read the preview chapter because the link isn't working or something...
yeah me too, i really want val's sister to be magic
ReplyDeleteSo do I! Not immediately, mind you; that would be far too stressful for Des and Melissa.
ReplyDeleteDesmond is possibly my favourite character.
Thats cool to hear you've finished Death Bringer. And it makes me sad to hear that in only 3 years it will be all over..Just like Harry Potter is all ending in a few days..C'mon Crescent, man-up..Don't friggin cry...
ReplyDeletewhat if val's sis is the death bringer
ReplyDeleteAt the age of two-three? Impressive
ReplyDelete...Am starting to get nervous now. Goodbye? seriously, in my mind it's startin to feel like u're gonna kill em :(
ReplyDelete*eyes Derek evily*
u better now do that...
NOT do that...damn typos...
ReplyDeletei wish she was my little sister. even more so if she's the death bringer, i'd never have to worry about hamster's dying again!
ReplyDeletehttp://jettemoondarke.blogspot.com/2011/07/dont-f-cry.html#comments
ReplyDeletegtg bye
ReplyDeleteHuh...well when I finish writing something successful (It's bound to be a LOAD smaller then what you write, Derek), I usually grab something that has sugar or chocolate, and just plop down and eat it.
ReplyDelete*shrugs*
Or I...
...come to think of it, that's all I do. I need to think of something better...like...
...I'll get back to you on that one.
*whirls around*
ReplyDeleteDEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! DON'T YOU DARE START TO SAY GOODBYE TO VALKYRIE AND SKULDUGGERY! DON'T YOU DARE!
DEREK!
*waves a fly swatter around madly*
Oh YAY! I am jumping up and down in anticipation! The fact that the seventh can be about anything... I kind of noticed that theme in Dark Days, that's part of what made it my favorite book so far (although, they're all so close I should probably call it a tie) And I can't wait, I don't care if Death Bringer doesn't come out where I live, I'll go to the UK to get it if I have to! (actually I'll probably just order it on amazon...)
ReplyDeleteYYYYAAAAAAAAA HI DEREK!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'M SO GLAD I'M ON FIRST PAGE!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBYE I GTG NOW! GOTTA PROJECT TO DO. -.-
ReplyDeleteHI DEREK! BYE DEREK!
ReplyDeleteMREH! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited for the next book at the same time I'm kind of sad that the books are over half way done with. :'(
ReplyDeleteHowever, I wish you goodluck and happy writting and PLEASELETMEKNOWIFYOU'REGOINGTOINCLUDEATLEASTONESCENEWITHHORSESINIT!!! Ahem... anyway...
With dedication, your VERY first American fan,
Ashley
*walks back in*
ReplyDelete...awww...I missed Kallista...
Saoirse... I have granted your wish. There is an entire CHAPTER that takes place on horseback!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Derek... that is odd... I always imagined Skulduggery and Val riding away from enemies on horses that they found... Is that why there is a chapter on horseback?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Hello! ^^
Hi all I posted a while ago but on a mostly unused blog I know that the film is not top on the GOLDEN GODS priorities but i need to say that i WILL cry my eyes out if the film is not half as amazing as the book, so, me and my friends (mostly me as they are on the slightly dim side) created a dream cast list that i have bloged about at:http://delpaceli.blogspot.com/2011/07/skulduggery-movie-cast-suggestions.html
ReplyDeleteShort Version:
Skulduggery: John Simm
Tannith : Miranda Otto (Eowyn from LOTR)
China: Natalie Portman (could also be Tannith with change of hair colour?)
Thurid Guild: Sean Bean
Sanguine: James Holloway (Sawyer from Lost-and yes I know not in 1st film but would be so good that I just had to say it)
Mr Bliss: Patrick Stewart...This would be so perfect that I have to say...Mr Landy ' Make it so.'
Comments and other suggestions please.
FIRST PAGE WHOOO!!!
Are you going to do another book signing tour for Death Bringer this year?
ReplyDeleteOf course Derek, if you would prefer a all English/ Irish cast which im sure you would i would be fine with that, David Tennant also for Skull Man!
ReplyDeleteCorvus Will-Elemental
Ah! Derek! I've never been on when you've commented!
ReplyDeleteHI!!!
*wave*
also me and my mum are fighting over who gets to read death bringer first! I WILL WIN!!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone!!
ReplyDeleteDel, I totally agree with you on Miranda Otto for Tanith. That would be pretty awesome!! :D
i have been bouncing around for 10 mins after that comment, thx rube! :D its great to have someone agree!
ReplyDeleteOh Christ, Derek, when you write "I’ll have started to say goodbye to Skulduggery and Valkyrie." my heart is crying a little!
ReplyDeleteI don't like a good serie to end (nor video games, I rarely finish them....)... But yeah, still excited by the books in coming.
Hope your eye is ok now and, indeed, video games can be pretty nice to spend time~ (and secretly hoping to read about Doctor Nye again~)
Geez, I'm so bad at writing comments u_u;;;
(Sorry, I've got the worst English ever XD I'm French, it explains a lot...)
Bob.
ReplyDelete... Bob... Hmmm... That's very intriguing Dragona...
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm planning on going to one of Derek's book signings in September and I was just wondering if I can bring the other Skulduggery books to be signed too? I've never been to a book signing before so...
ReplyDeleteOtto.
ReplyDeletehi peeps!!!!
ReplyDeletewow can't wait 4 next book!!!!
Hey DEREK
dO yOU RemEMbER mE?
i'M ViTA wITh StrIPy SokS

any way can't wait 4 book to come out!!!!!
and I hope u read 'bout the situation with my friend who's mum thinks SP is........ brace urself.... VILE!!!!!!! I KNOW!!!!!!!
but i just wondered if u had any advice seeing as she's not aloud to read it any more!!!
well see u soon (probs)
and hi to all u guys!!!
OMG i NEVER want to say goodbye to skulduggery and valkyrie they are both soo amazing and so is the rest of the SP gang! AHHHHHHH i cant wait for i know its gonna be EPIC just like the rest of ur books!!! =D
ReplyDeleteBTW hope your black eye gets better soon!!!
oh bye the way I have figured out how tanith is gonna get rid of the remenant!!!!!
ReplyDeletehere goes:
Tanith will be tricked into getting into the death carridge thing (were valkerie went to go to nye)
Tanith will then be dead therefore the remenant will die to!!!!!
Problem solved!!!!!!!!
(although Tanith will be horribly tortured in the next book!!!!! Derek told me lol)
Well there we go!!
and this is coppirited!!! It's my idea!!!!!! so don't say you came up with it!!!!! although, Derek, if u have also thought of this.... I have 1 thing to say...
all great minds work alike
see ya
*reads comments lazily while lightning further destroys the back yard*
ReplyDelete*makes a gagging sound*
H-Horseback?
*stumbles away*
*curls up in a corner*
Deeeeereeeeeek...I'm t-terrified of horses...
*rocks back and forth*
i was meant to write i cant wait for deathbringer!
ReplyDeleteooops!
Derek! Please don't kill Fletcher or I will go on a rampage and destroy all the books and..... and...... and sit on you! Yeah..... yeah that's what I'll do....
ReplyDeletei think someone has a soft spot 4 fletcher......
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWWWWWWWWW
anyway who said anyone was gonna die... i mean thats just someone theory/rumor!!!
like at skool today every1 said we were gonna get our reports but we didin't!!!!!!!!
So here my theory... a few people will die.. no1 important and definatly not Tanith 'cause derek said (when i met him) that in the first book he was gonna kill tanith off*gasp* but his publisher said he couldn't 'cause she just to amazing so every book she has to be horrible tortured!!! lol. so acording to my theory atleast tanith wont die
have not commented in a while but DEATH BRINGER!!!!!1
ReplyDeletehello!
ReplyDeletecant wait till death bringer....... so excited
ReplyDeleteSOOO?????
ReplyDeleteANYONE ELSE?????????????
ReplyDelete*sigh* know one cares 'bout what I say *sigh* does any1 atually read it?
ReplyDeletehi pyro!
ReplyDeleteHi Pyro!
ReplyDeleteHi Phoenix!!!¡¡¡!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Chanoro!!!¡¡¡!!!
ReplyDeletePyro, are you coming to the water-park tomorrow?
ReplyDeletei hope vals reflection turns bad and val and her reflection has an epic fight......................
ReplyDeleteVAL VS VAL....
EPIC
*recovers from sudden shock and walks out of the corner*
ReplyDeleteHello~
ANYONE LIKE MY THEORY? (sorry boutbut forgot they were on)
ReplyDeleteCool, same. I have a new character idea, their name will be Venus Lefay
ReplyDeleteHi Mar!!!¡¡¡!!!
ReplyDelete(and typos....)
ReplyDelete*waves*
ReplyDeleteHello~!
I cannot WAIT for Death Bringer it is soo close i am Starting to get Butterflies in my Stomach!!
ReplyDeleteI know that the rest of the books are going to be EPICA!!
Love SP
Thank you for Creating these Characters they are soo Kewl!!
seee no1 atually cares what I write... I liek im invisible sort of>>>>>>>
ReplyDeletedoes any1 have anything to say on my theory thing?
Air person, right?
ReplyDeleteI’ll have started to say goodbye to Skulduggery and Valkyrie. It’ll be another three years until I bid them a proper farewell, but it all starts here.<-- those words right there put salt water in yer eyes. Derek the skulduggery pleasant series have been the best books i have ever read, and i have read alot of books. In 3 years, when we have to say bye, it wont be a good bye like forever. Coz i was watching this korean show (Hello baby-SHINee) and at the end it was like
ReplyDelete'A parting isnt something sad, its just a meeting where you've enjoyed yourself and had fun and its simply the end of that meaning'
and theres still hope for the films right?? so its all good, if we can get like 9 movies for each book, that'd be great, that would mean Skulduggery would be with me till im like 20
Anyway Derek I look forward ot the next books, im sure they'll be spectacular and how good? SO GOOD!! Derek btw when you come to edinburgh in august, i shall see you there *saluts*
Pyro, I'm gonna start writing part 3
ReplyDeletei think your theory is right i certanly thought the same
ReplyDelete:)
Ahhh that's so sad!! :'(
ReplyDeleteThe end of the books will be the end of a lot of stuff... it won't happen all of a sudden, and many of us will try to keep it from happening at all. Slowly, though, things will die. And it will be heartbreaking.
But Master Derek Landy, I'll have you know that I, at the very least, shall never ever let you stop posting blogs! That's right! Never ever ever!
~grins~
Ah, the plans I have for you! It will be fun...
~rubs hands together mischievously~

Facing The Giants
There are giants in life
who are looking for me.
Several have found the place
where I have been hiding.
I don’t know how they discovered
the vicinity where I hid in fear.
But I always ended up crushed
beneath their giant feet.
Laughing, the giants would leave,
my guts crushed all around.
Friends and family ignored me
as I staggered back up, gasping for air.
Getting back up is important.
Even if one is knocked down by a giant.
Sometimes it takes awhile to stand.
It helps if a caring soul is near.
Yet what do you do,
when you are left alone?
No one cares
as you lie bleeding there.
Take your time I say.
Let yourself rest.
When healing comes
You will be ready to prevail.
Take note of those who deserted you
in your time of need.
Go find better people
And leave the others behind.
Make sure you never cast
pearls before swine.
So next time when the giants come,
you won’t be deserted like me.

ReplyDeleteFacing The Giants
There are giants in life
who are looking for me.
Several have found the place
where I have been hiding.
I don’t know how they discovered
the vicinity where I hid in fear.
But I always ended up crushed
beneath their giant feet.
Laughing, the giants would leave,
my guts crushed all around.
Friends and family ignored me
as I staggered back up, gasping for air.
Getting back up is important.
Even if one is knocked down by a giant.
Sometimes it takes awhile to stand.
It helps if a caring soul is near.
Yet what do you do,
when you are left alone?
No one cares
as you lie bleeding there.
Take your time I say.
Let yourself rest.
When healing comes
You will be ready to prevail.
Take note of those who deserted you
in your time of need.
Go find better people
And leave the others behind.
Make sure you never cast
pearls before swine.
So next time when the giants come,
you won’t be deserted like me.
