I'm finished the book.
It's only the first draft, granted. And I've finished it twelve days after I expected to be finished, also granted. And with the schedule so horrendously packed, I'm gonna have to start the edit by Sunday. But none of that takes away from the fact that I have finished Kingdom of the Wicked, and I am one happy writer-bunny.
My editor called this afternoon. He'd read most of it, and was just calling to give me the thumbs up. This, I have to say, was a relief. I've never written a book as quickly as I did this one, so I was worried that the quality might slip. Apparently it hasn't. This makes me happy. It's also LONGER than any of the others. Please keep in mind that the finished product might be significantly shorter, but at the moment this one is clocking in at 130,000 words- that's about 12,000 words longer than Death Bringer.
I am so, so drained. I need to play video games. I need to watch movies. I need to spend more than an hour away from my computer. But despite how drained I feel, I am buzzing with that wonderful, wonderful feeling of accomplishment that I always get when I finish a book. I am truly great.

Mist, that is in the last month alone...Feeling empty is a feeling I am not alien to, either. It is way too normal for me too feel like that. Sometimes you just need to look at everything you have, although it won't seem like much or might seem really bad, you realise their are also some really good things too. Your friends are always going to be there for you and I am sure us guys on blogland will be here for you. They've helped me battle some of my problems and helped me to smile again, it took a while but now I can at least act like everything's okay. <3
....Listen to starships...
I don't have any problems, L.
None at all.
I'm empty.
That's it.
It's nothing bad.
Also, the song change isnt making anything better...
YEAH EEEEVE
*hugs Luciana on impulse*
*change, not better
Got to sleep, eat something. Do SOMETHING Zath.
*shrugs slightly* Just trying to help...
*hands up* Nope ... can't do this *paces*
Aww...I never know what to say when people feel empty, 'cause I don't even know how I can stop myself feeling like that... :/
Still haven't gotten any email, Robin...maybe send it again? Or something...

Kay.

Did I tell you to listen to this song? Well, it's Korean, but it has really nice lyrics. I found an English subbed one, for you. :') It's a truly inspirational song and I believe it COULD help you! It's called Someday...
That's done now Eve...
*manages to smile at Mist's amusement in ants*
Is it metal?
*raises eyebrow at Zath*
The ant, no? You, possibly.
I meant the song.
It's one of the few songs that I like that isn't metal, actually... :')
Chances are I won't like it then.
The only people I listen to that arent metal are Red Hot Chilli Peppers because my father hot wired them into my brain when I was young, John Butler Trio for the same reasons and The Fray because most of their songs are sad.
You get my email yet Eve?
Sparks you still around?
Songs I like that arent metal are sad.
Mostly.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers! Yeeees
Replied, robin
But thanks for going through the trouble of finding it. Id appreciate it, but Im still empty.
I'm listening to Otherside by them right now, if you care Robin.
hey again
Hey Lola...
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!!!!! <3
It's fine and hmmmm...I am going to do something about this, I have decided. It's not just because I don't want to revise, either! :)
And now it's Get On Top.
Hi, Lola!! :D

*smiles at Zath* That's awesome.
GAHHHHHH. MIST YOU HAVE AN AWESOME TASTE IN MUSIC!!! :3
Californication. I can play the opening of this on guitar.
I love that song, so much! I used to play guitar, then I got too busy for it and only play keyboard and drums, now. :'3
Thanks, L.
No way *snorts* That's pretty cool, I suck at playing music
*sighs*
I THINK I'm better now. Where's Eve?
She's emailing me Zath ^^

Can you get the hell of this page? If you are just going to argue what a oh shallow little song this is. Why don't you just get lost? Why-hello! And oh - GOODBYE
Bye robin, if you're leaving.

Altair!
I think...
Threw it, at the ground? *blinks*

*grins* Yeah, Im a sensitive. *points to second to last comment before mist came back*
*gets up and pulls Mist up with self*
*takes him to treehouse*
It's cold out here.
He was angry. I think. 'Twas last year..I can't remember why... Anyway it's his fault and I think he's just making it up by buying me books. It's alright. It's not like I'm going to live that long,right?
*facepalms*
lol
I never get those *facepalms* things.
*nods and smiles at her*
*pulls Eve down onto the couch and wraps her in blankets*

*grins again and hugs her...well, the blankets around her*
Oh..
4th, Mist. My comment beat you to it.
*sighs* I had a really good ded speech though.
...Actually, no, I didn't.
Facepalm - the act of hitting one's face with one's hand to show the act of distress due to someone's stupidity or due to one's annoyance. To show the meme 'I do not want to live on this planet anymore'
*feels like a dictionary*
*is unable to hug him back*
Ack. This is annoying.
*rolls around*
*manages to loosen blankets*
Better. *pulls arms out and hugs Mist*
Lol, Robin.

*grins*
I feel like a caterpillar.
A bug.
A bug in a rug.
That's what my dad used to say when I was sleeping. But normally my brain malfunctions and I freak out because I think there's a bug on the rug. :D

*grins and watches Eve trying to fly with four layers of blankets over the top of her*
