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.

http://loldaddy.com/top/month/pics/3603
Can't go to the links gab, sorry. Long story.
I tried doing this...never worked. Always freaked me out since it has to do with ceremonial magick and stuff.

Lucid dreaming... ah
Lucid dreaming looks creepy. I don't want to dream with my eyes open! Although...controlling your dreams...
*shakes head* I've done it without all that voodoo crap before
Gab!! I'm trying not to laugh out loud here! I'm supposed to be pretending to be asleep!!
Miiiiiiiist!!!!!
No. If you do lucid dream (from what I've read) it makes you become aware of you're dreams. Like your spirit leaves your body. And in some stories, you can travel past time, but can't change anything. Something about the Astral planes...
Holy crap you have!?
Robin how did you do it?
I just fall asleep!
Okay, too creepy, I'm out. :/
You're aware you're dreaming and from that you can control your dreams *shrugs* that's what I hear. If that's true then I've done it before.
I tried doing magic.
Worked once I think
My math teacher was kind all day!
I just fell asleep started dreaming about something that hadn't happened yet asked someone if I was dreaming they said 'Yes' and I just went from there :P
I've had a few lucid dreams...But I was under anesthetic... ^_^
Wow that's so cool. I wish I had that much control.
I did have a little control once. You know how in dreams you run real slow? I literally said SUPER SPEED!!! when I wanted it and i got super speed, yay!
I never have any control in my dreams...
Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist!!!!!!

The first time was funny. There was a clown (Ronald McDonald - I was five okay?)and I was hiding my mum was on the phone and she said 'Nothing, she's having a nightmare.' And I stopped it coming up the stairs! *triumph* But that was all I could do.
It usually wakes me up if I do too much.
I may disappear any time tonight because of four all equally possible reasons:
1. Dad's turned the Internet off
2. Battery's run out on iPod
3. I've fallen asleep
4. I've been ripped apart by zombies
The 4th one sounds the most fun, Eve! ^_^
*tears zombies with light*
One reason down 3 to go.
I hate clowns...
Fun may not be the right word but okay Eve
*smiles at Gabriel* well at least I don't feel as stupid now
Lynxia will love this!
http://loldaddy.com/top/month/pics/3483
Seriously, that's why I like Burger King better than Mcdonalds!
The sims xD
*smiles*
The Sims.
My Sim always die when I just ignore it.
Burger King? We call it Hungry Jack's

Our whole universe....
lol, no you don't eve.
Omigosh I totally still need to learn the Big Bang song. :D
Hi people!

Yeah, we actually do. Australia's the only one I think. Or maybe just SA. They keep copying McDonalds and add extra mayonnaise.

What an advanced change indeed.
Damn disappearing comments...
Go Derek! I write myself and I love the feeling too. :-) You might remember me from a signing in Kildare in September last year. I was wearing purple Doc Martins. You also called me crazy in front of my friends. Thanks, Derek.

....Who the hell is my dad talking to?
.....think I'll just...go to sleep now...
STAR!!!!!!!! Hey!
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!
"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!
It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!
Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!
^ I have this in my head....Hahaha.
Goodnight everyone!
*bursts into oblivion*
Cool pic Star

Someone should have TOLD me!
And may the fives be with you, Ink!
*wields a plastic lightsaber, and attempts to look awesome*
Oh . . . Right . . . You were talking about taia . . .
Well that's okay then:) *stops being confuzzled*
Thank you taia! :)
I GOT THE LUCKY NUMBER!!!!
No problem!
And yes. I am a people. *nods wisely*
Hahaha. Yeah, you're...You. And I am an alien. *nods* But I am also Batman, shh! It's a secret.
I'M THE INKY OCTOPUS GIRL, THE DISAPPEARING INVISIBLE GIRL, AND THE ENEMY OF THE LLAMAS!
I've been reading The Hunger Games Trilogy for 12 hours straight.
This is the first time I have closed a book and put it aside today. With the exception of the switch between Catching Fire and Mockingjay, of course.
It's rather odd. And my brain is still swarming with words.
...
I AM SO SLOW TO REPLY, BECAUSE I AM STILL REVISING.......AND GETTING NO-WHERE.
Gab, may the fours be with you!
*wonders if anybody is actually getting my fours thing*
I'M WRITING MY NEW STORY!
REBELLION!
Ink, I got the 'fours' as in 'force', hence the plastic lightsaber before :P
Awesome! Rebellion is FUN! :D
I CALLED BATMAN AGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS AGO. Nix is a fake batman! :)
Star, yes I get your reference! XD
Well, yse sort of taia, like, may the fourth, but it's an AF reference.
Only a load of people haven't read AF . . .
There lives are incomplete. *sighs sadly*
Gah, stupid comments...
Sorry, Luciana. You can't be Batman because Nix already is Batman.
*is stabbing a soon to be roasted chicken* I'm hungry...
*tilts head* AF?
*tilts head* AF?
Yes! Can't wait to read it when the editing is finished! Of course, it might be a good idea to read Death Bringer first, if it didn't take like, 4 months to ship from the UK...
If I can't be Batman, I'll have to be ...........
THE DOPPLER EFFECT (AGAIN).
NEOUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM.
Lynxia, may the fours be with you!
AF is Artemis Fowl, taia.
Have to go now! Bye guys! *hugs*
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! :)
Neouuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm.
Oh! I've been meaning to read Artemis Fowl actually. I'm pretty sure it's written down among pages of other book titles, each one that I want to read written there. That is, until I inadvertently misplaced the notebook, of course. Because I am amazing like that,
Byee Lynxia!
GAHHH>
May the fours be with you lynxia!
My fours greeting is from the unpublished book eight, so . . .
I DIDN'T GET FIRST!!!! YAY!!!!!!
