I don't dance around kitchens. But if I did, I'd be dancing around my kitchen right now.
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.

Whoa, that was a bit weird.
Sorry, Val. I wasn't saying much. The quality wasn't very good so I didn't know what you were saying half the time. Maybe sometime we can try talking again.

Is there nothing you can do to fix them?

Cool Derek! Love the pic, it's so funny! :D One little request please? Publish the rest of SP for America!!! I already got the rest from Amazon, but I was thinking about the others here who are waiting for them and can't buy them online. Thank you Derek!!!
And hi everyone who's here right now. Wow, one day and already there are over 2000 comments. You all talk a lot.
Sorry I haven't been here for a while. School's decided to pile up the homework just as I started coming here. This is just a passing comment though. Homework and all, oh and with Tests coming up.
*sigh*
School never takes a break...
Well, maybe sometime I'll have time to stay and talk, but for now, see ya!

How are you???? :D
I'm pretty goose. You?
I'm hyper and watching Sherlock 2.2 Commentaries. IT'S HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!! <3 Haha. ;D
That's your plan? Brilliant (laughs). That's not a plan.
SHIP THAT. SO HARD. GAH. YES. BROMANCE. RIGHT THERE. <3
I don't watch Sherlock. Seen the Sherlock Holmes movies though.
Just followed your blog. Ugh, Valduggery makes me queasy.
SHERLOCK IS AMAZING. Sherlock Holmes is awesome, too! I saw the second one the first day it came out! :D
And THANKS! I hate Valduggery, too. But I am taking requests while I am on a break from admining 'cause of things... :')
Requests...?
I was taking requests for HC's and fanfics. :) I run a few pages, one of them is a fanfic page and I asked if anyone had any requests...I got asked for Valduggery and Rekyrie among others. So...I wasn't too happy, but I am writing them nonetheless. :3
Oh, cool. Can you do a Chinduggery for me? Please??*makes puppy eyes*
And what's Rekyrie? Valkyrie and...Reggie?
*stares at comments* they multiplied
YES. THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE SHIPS CHINDUGGERY! THAT IS ON MY LIST. It'll be crap like, 'cause I have a dodgy writing style, but I'll try my best! :D
And Rekyrie is Reflection and Valkyrie...*shudders* Ergh..*feels ill* It's just wrong..
Multiplication? *blows up*
Hi Zafira!
HELLO!!!!! :)
Yay! :D
...That is so weird....
Yeah...VERY weird....I'm going to have fun writing it, aren't I? Oh well. It'll be interesting, I'm disturbed enough. ^_^
Hahahahaha. :P
*smiles innocently* :D
I wonder if I can read Catching Fire when im this tired...
Maybe? I read all the time, but I am rarely tired... ;D
Haha. Yeah, i think I can read now. I'm already doing it, so that proves it's possible, right?
I had a dream last night that everyone was shouting spoilers to me. I destroyed every last one of them...
Indeed it does! :D
I'd do the same, kill them with a machete! *sharpens machete*
I killed them with my fists! *sharpens fists*
Im so happy!!! My teacher gave me extra credit points for Derek posting the grammar on the blog! xD she was all like....WHAT?! BRING ME IN THIS!!!! So therefore i just did print screen and wala!!! *looks around* she putting it on gramar/spelling wall of shame but i got points!!
YEAH. KILL THEM ALL, EVE!!!!!!
Zaf, that's awesome news! :D Apart from the wall of shame thing for Derek, though. :L
Yay Zafira!
I gave my teacher the evil eye but its either it goes on or no points..
Hehehe *goes quiet* better spit it out now cuz ik Derek wont send things after meh......i hope
*reads three letter sentence and moans*
*falls over*
You cant do that...

Hehe. I'm at home with my dad and Shaun's gone to the dentist (ha ha ha) and my big brother is putting songs onto my cousin's iPod (ha ha ha their computer is so slow) and my mum is at the dentist with Shaun (ha ha ha she has to listen to Shaun's babbling)
YAY!!!!
Might write some fanfic...
asdfghjkl
Oh...First...Again...I am terrible with deds.....Hmmm....
Poor Luciana. Listen to some soothing music. *takes Mist's guitar from under couch and gives it to him* Play dear Luciana a song. *grins*
THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVELY EVE! 'Cause Eve is awesome and SUNNY! ;D THIS IS EVE'S PAGE OF COMMENTS AND EVE'S ALONE. *nods* :D
My comments are vanishing! Grr.
*hits Woozles*
I hate it when my comments vanish. I swear they just get up and dance away. :')
YAY!!! IM SUNNY!!! *hugs Luciana*
*does somersaults five metres in the air*
Aw, I didn't get to read them. :(
Hahaha. This is why it's Eve's page. *nods* Ha ha.
My sister is snoring....I am trying not to giggle...Not working... :')
Huh. Someone else dedicated a page to you.
*grins at Mist* That's allowed, you know. And plenty of people have dedicated their pages to you.
No, I know that. I just haven't seen it done before. People should ded to you more often. :)
*plays the actousic part of Remnants*
Yeah, but only when I'm SUNNY!!!!
*spins around in circles*
*gets dizzy and grabs Mist's arm*
Remnants? Where?
*laughs and holds her steady*
THE PAGE IS QUIET. D: Might be 'cause of the time. :')
Right I am going to force myself off my laptop in 25 minutes! If I am still on here, kill me. :)
It's a song.
Gah! She's still eating!
How long has it been since I first said my mom was going to be in a video with me? She came home around then and she's still not done eating! Gah!
Hi again Hope.
Hey, Lav! :)
Or did you never leave? I'm losing track if things, sorry.
Hi guys. :)
Hi lav
Bye Luciana
*holds onto Mist even though self is not dizzy anymore*
Yeah, I did leave for a bit.
*mutters*
Now she's starting to change her mind.
I'm still not giving up though.
Luciana, I'm going to have to kill you. :P
Never give up! Never surrender!
It hasn't been 25 minutes yet, Eve.
I saw the comment.
Hahaha. Or I could just do this...
*jumps off St.Barts and faceplants the pavement*
*sees email and nods* My nana is awesome. She wrote a book about me riding a purple dinosaur around Hong Kong. :D
It hasn't been twenty five minutes?! Now that is strange.
*is laughing irl*
What??
What's St.Barts?
It's been 10. Haha. :D
.............
Sherlock reference, never mind...*5-ever alone*
Oh yeah. She first wrote a book about my big brother on a dinosaur, visiting relatives, and I was in that one too, when he came home and I...I was holding a doll...or maybe I was feeding it to the cat...anyway, I've got a copy of that somewhere, but then nana wrote one about me, with a purple dinosaur. *nods* I went to Disneyland.
Cool Eve.
*smiles*
*is still waiting for mom*
*sighs*
brb
*is writing Valduggery and grumbles about it*
Hahahahaha. That must be torture, Luciana.
It is. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CHINDUGGERY, THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD That's what's keeping me happy. When I finish at least this chapter I can start another one, either Steak or Chinduggery!!!! ;D
Back. :)
STEAK!!!!
CHINDUGGERY!!!
...STEAK!!!
WB Lavereno
Hello, again, Lav. :D
EVE. I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW. You have the best taste in pairings!!!
I know, right? You can never put taste in a sentence without also putting my name in it. It's a rule of grammar.
Hahaha. Indeed, unless it's saying bad taste, because that'd be a lie. :')
Tut tut. No lying in blogland.
*opens up book* Oh, good. I AM feeding it to the cat. :D
DON'T KILL ME. I'm going. Bye! *hugs* Hopefully I'll talk to you guys later!!!!!! BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
NEOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. < *is still The Doppler Effect*
Bye Luciana!!!!
Where'd Mist go?
No where!
Yay! *hugs him*
