Just thought you'd like to know, because you are eager Minions who care about these things, that I have apparently started Book 7. Ten thousand words written since Friday.
And some of them even make sense.

^^ awesome! (I'm 3. btw o.o yay :3)
yes i'm third
oh 4th still cool
all mighty golden god i am a newbie but your number one australian fan
end of the world at the back of book 7? cause from what i know when i asked World Book Day Ireland, end of the world is not avaliable outside Ireland and UK.
Reads blog post. Head explodes...
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!no no no no i must read that book i must
YAY!!!! is it coming out September? So excited :) from the No. 1 Skulduggery Pleasant/Derek Landy Irish fan :) Ireland Rocks :P like, so hard there are little leprachauns with electric guitars singing AC DC... :)
ohmygod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First twenty!
I don't think i can wait till September...
I've been at my story for months and am only at 6000 words. That is just sad.
So you getting 10,000 done in a fairly short amount of time is astoundingly brain mushifying. At least for me it is. Although then again, I am a huge procrastinator...
And I still think that a writer should, hypothetically of course, write the chaos theory in 16 blank and random pages.
I also have to read the 6th Skulduggery book. Again, I just got it, but I don't have enough time to finish it in one night and if I can't then I know I won't sleep. So I'll just wait until the weekend.
And last night I decided that I also want to write a book from the perspective of a slave... Although that could potentially get a little racy...
I can't wait for my candy from Japan.
I do hope that Scapegrace is in the 6th book. He's hilarious. Oh! Hypothetically, an author could write a grand adventure from the perspective of Scapegrace in the last 16 pages of his or her book.
Yay 17th comment! :P
Well done Derek, you must be chuffed.
I started one of my writing things AGES ago, and I've only written about 15 words... :P
Look at my behaviour.
I can't help myself.
One foot before the other,
And hope you didn't notice.
I'm 14 days ahead to you.
In my head you're already mine.
I hope I don't seem like the desperate kind.
Sometimes I, melt I,
I don't know where to put myself,
But I'm not alone, cause right outside,
There's two people just falling in love.
I see you're looking,
But are you looking my way?
I'd like to think so, I could only say.
Sometimes I, melt I,
I don't know where to put myself,
But I'm not alone, cause right outside,
There's two people just falling in love.
Some other time, some other place
Well maybe I'd show you my real face.
Sometimes I, melt I,
I don't know where to put myself,
But I'm not alone, cause right outside,
There's two people just falling in love.
Sometimes I, melt I,
I don't know where to put myself,
But I'm not alone, cause right outside,
There's two people just falling in love.
I by Kurt Nilsen is a great song.
You can probably guess that I'm bored. And it's too noisy in here to write.

Arriverderci!
10th person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow..... I am so honored, really. yay!
derek,thank you. we all love you. so very, very much....
and now, do you remember going to Sheffield for the death bringer signing? do you remember two girls who couldn't think of a question to ask you, then asked what your favorite animal was? that was me!!!!
although, admittedly that may not be something to be proud of. anyway, just wondering!
Hi Amelie! Hi Lilly! Hi Zulizoga! Hi Daniel! Hi Humma!
Bryan, The End of the World will primarily be available in Ireland, the UK and Australia, but it'll also be collected along with a load of other short stories into one massive book before too long.
ValkyrieCain- yup, Book 7 will be out in September. Providing I have it finished by then...
Pink Rose, it feels pretty good to finally start writing it. I'm about two months behind schedule so I have a lot of work to catch up on!
Mary- oh they made me laugh. Favourites are 1 and 23.... brilliant...
I agree, Ireland does rock. But not Leprechauns.
So excited! Derek, what would you say your average writing output per day is?
And will book 7 be released April, September, or another month entirely?
Hi Sienna- good to talk to you again!
Holly- a good day for a writer is usually around 2000 words- that's what most writers aim for in a day. If they go beyond that, bonus. If they can't reach 2000, they're in a bad mood...!
It'll be out at the start of September as usual.
thanks for the new book derek, i come from ireland like you, are you ever going to come to easons in derry/londonderry? i didnt make it lat time..
Hopefully I'll get up to Londonderry again, but I don't know when. My tours take me to different places every time, to make sure I cover as much ground as possible.
on the skulduggery pleasent website it says you will be going places like derry but its from like two years ago so you should probably update it
Yay book 7
Wow closest i have ever got
Derek are you going to come nearhuddersfield soon?
Derek are you going to come nearhuddersfield soon?

Some of the words make sense? Are they words like "Skulduggery's True Name is Cake" or "You're mission is to rise the dragons from the dead" or "Another fine morning and another fine corpse"?
What wonderful news to find waiting at home from school. This has made my day.
~From Dark Dragon from Lol.inc

Glad to have some good news with an exam filled week like this. KEEP AT IT, MISTER.
Anyone here??
The Spaniminions want atention... We are getting book 5 now, when you have started writting book 7...
Please, Derek remember your Spaniminions in this sublime book 7, the beginning of the last trilogy.
Derek, I have an idea for the 16 extra pages thing. Maybe in the book if, like, one of the characters told another a story or something what he said to someone else that was very significant, maybe in the extra pages you could write those conversations or like 'what actually happened' if someone told a lie, etc. What do you think?
That's great! I remember when I finished the first 10k on my novel. I was tired. I think I was just hitting the second week slump, so I kinda slacked off for a while... dont do that. bad news. Oh, I cant wait! I am just rearing to go after reading death bringer! I jsut cant wait!
ha! More great news! I'm coming to Ireland this summer! my goal is to meet you, whether I have to show up on your doorstep or I can just take the easy way and find you at a signing.
I got an ida 4 the extra pages somebody might have said this already but fill them with your own doodling
That would be epic
Any 1 here !!!!
WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! YES! WRITE! WRIIITE!!!
*does a perculiar dance*
You're amaaazing~ The amaaaazing golden god~
I wanna be just like ou when I grow up~

NOW! WE SHAL GO ON A HUNT TO FIND A MAGICAL PORTAL THAT WILL TAKE US INTO THE SKULDUGGERY BOOKS!
Mir: If we complete the hunt, we get cake!
Thalia: *shoots a portal gun around wildly*
Oh yeah! Speaking of Dave, I saw my Uncle last week. He was a sneaky ninja, and booked a flight back to America, just getting back the night before.
Oh my. Some kid has to walk to his house cuz we drove past it...
*looks out the window*
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG HELLO EVERYONE FIRST PAGE!
Golden God, this is dedicated to your awesomeness by a faithful minion.

Hi Shadow! *hugs back*
Please look at my blog. Very important new post. Someone at my school died...
what happened?!
I'm very sorry to hear that. How did it happen?
that is so sad...
They collapsed yesterday whilst playing football...
That's awful...
he had a seizure, right? I've heard about what happened. I don't know what to say
Yeah, that's it. Where'd you live or did you hear through Facebook?
i live in the states, i have family in ireland that listen to the new for all the UK, and they heard about it.
Heeeeyyyy yyyaaaalllllll
I just looked him up, he's the first story that comes up if you type in his name.
Hi! Slightly bad timing, Dragonslayer.
hi Dragon
But nice to see you anyway.
is dragon still on?
Yeah, think how it is for us. He was on our paper. He was a really nice guy. I didn't know him best but, he was friends with everyone - last thing he said to me was 'Happy Birthday' on Friday when I last saw him... My friend was giving him a lift home because their neighbours...
is Shadow still on?
who's on?
Yep im on umm im usually joyfull but i checkedd that blog and i really dont no what to say
oh, hi Shadow,that's so sad, you guys were friends? I can't even begin to imagine what it's like...
I'm still on, I hope Dragon didn't leave because he thought I was being rude...God, Shadow, I don't really know what to say.
Oh, good, Dragon, you're still here!
Yeah, kind of friends, other people knew him better because I was the year above him but - everyone knew Liam and he was just really nice to everyone no matter what...
it's so sad, he definitely didn't deserve to die, nobody does.
Heeeeyyyy yyyaaaalllllll
No, nobody does - you're right...
Can we move on, if I start crying again I'll short cuirct my computer - AGAIN!
* circuit
OK, um...has anyone been watching Sherlock?
