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.

Nix and Mist
?????
*glares*
I can't take this anymore!!!
Mist, we are moving.
To the volcano!!!!
*takes Mist to the volcano*
Hey, that's my volcano!
I live there
Do you really want to live near me?
Okay.
*follows her to the volcano*
*changes direction*
We're moving to the mountains then, where you will study the art of Kung Fu while I battle frost trolls.
Okay, I'm going to see if my mom's FINALLY ready.
btw, Nix, my mom's finally going to be on camera. We will be singing mostly, because otherwise, she won't do it.
Cool
*chills in magma heated water*
Ahhh, this is nice
Okay Lav
no one's told me what they would like me to write?
Why don't we just live in the forest?
and get killed by elves
AH! My Blogland thing
Okay, im writing
You're right. There are regular trolls there.
*changes direction*
Yay!
I WILL MUNCH ON YOUR BRAINS! *falls over and passes out*
Hi Val
Hi! I have a ton of last resort energy right now and I'm literally going to fall over in a few minutes because of it! *is hopping up and down excitedly even though there's nothing exciting*
Hi Val.
*is now in forest with Eve*
So where do you want to have the house?
Or do you want another tree-house in the glowing ferns place?
Hi Mist! Hi Eve!
I stole a microphone earlier and, along with Amanda we started shouting th words to "Someone Like You" XD
Hi Val.
*stops at an open part of the forest*
*siys*
*sits
LEMONSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
hey Eve
99 seconds speed up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCTv43AmU_E
*pokes Eve in the face*
Why are you sitting there?! THE IMAGINARY LIZARD LEMON LASER LIVED THERE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*runsa away and hits a tree*
It's too dark there. We will not build a house to ruin the forest. We will live in tree hollows.
*climbs into a tree hollow*
....
...
Uh...okay...
Ha! You live in tree hollows, and get a huge house on the side of my volcano.
*turns around just in time to see magma burn the house down*
...
Hey Mist, do you have a new picture or something? It's either that or I'm hallucinating again...
*waves to an imaginary hobo*
Everything gets sped up.
*gets poked in face*
*has a scalpel face*
No, it's a new one Val.
Damn it, gtg.
*kisses Eve and vanishes*
Be back soon hopefully.
okay, im going to go for a while
bbl...maybe
Bye!
that was a coincidence...
Bye!
*climbs out if hollow* There's an owl in there.
Come on. Let's go back to the wonderful treehouse you built.
*holds Mist's hand and takes him out of forest*
Aw. Bye Mist! *kisses back*
Bye nix!
Oh, NOW she tells me.
*sighs*
We need to practice first, my mom says.
Going now. Might bbl. Bye!
Bye lav!
Lunch now, buh buh
Lizards will rule the world someday
"What is that?"
"It's a fez. I wear fezes now. Fezes are cool."
Haha. Watching the Simpson's ep when they go to Australia. They got it so wrong...
But that just makes it funnier. :P
"Bullfrog? That's an odd name. I wouldve called it a Bozzowakka"
Hi Mist! *hugs*
If you're still here.
Hi Eve! Please still be here.
*hugs back*
Yaaaaay!
*grins* We're moving back to the treehouse. There was an owl in the tree hollow.
Sorry, I'll be distant. My mother is telling us about how my Thai uncle just lost 20 grand. :(
*grins*
Ok. Whatever you want.
20 grand? Damn.
I'll be distant as well, I'm reading Catching Fire.
*laughs and skips back to the treehouse*
Okay. We're are you up to?
Damn it. I'll be very distant now for fifteen minutes or so.
Okay. :(
I'm up to where Gale is being whipped.
Hello?
I'm a little after that part, Eve. :)
I guess everyone's distant then...
Well, so am I. Starting now.
Hi Lav!
Hi people!
I am happy. I got a lot of consttuctive critisism for my prolouge and i've already been adding bits to chapter one to make that better. But yeah, might be a bit distant.
Hi Star!
Hi Eve. :)
Hi Star!
hi
Hi Terragon
Hi Terragon.
so how are you doing
I'm doing fine, thanks. :)
I wonder when Mist will come back... it's past 20 minutes already.
Yeah...
Hi terragon.
...How hard is it to find a navy blue hoodie?
That isn't zip-up!?
hi star
Hi Sparky! :)
Hi sparky.
Terragon, it was you who was related to val, right?
*is really hoping i don't get it wrong*
I think a cousin of Val, Star. Right?
ya im her coz
You don't talk much, do you, Terra? Can I call you that?
And are you a boy? I don't know, so I just want to be sure I don't think wrong.
my email died so i got a new acount
Hi Sparky!
ya im a boy im also wrighting a story right now so ya
Okay. That's cool you're writing a story. :)
I know his name.
Yay! I got it right! I am a genius!
(You just touched it
Still a genius, Stephanie.)
Whenever i say i'm a genius irl i always say the bit in brackets right after it . . .
yep
That's funny, Star. :P
if you can have any accent what would it be
...Irish...
Or maybe Welsh.
Or Russian.
One of those three.
Uh...
British, to say the truth.
I think British accents are cool. :)
id have a english accent
Dunno terragon.
English as in British, or American?
If you just say English, I don't know what you mean...
I have an American accent, but America has many accents, so I have one of many.
I already DO have an emglish accent irl.
And there isn't, like, a set english accent, there are different english accents in different parts of england. Just warning you.
British
I thought english accent meant from england . . .
Coz in britain we have scotland and styff, and svotland and wales have different accents to us to. . .
Oh. Cool, Terra.
I knew that Star. That you have a British English accent and that there were probably different accents in different places. Like America. :)
if you call me terra it makes me sound like im a girl
*sigh*
But I also know that I don't know everything about accents.
I really wish I could visit different countries so I can learn how people speak. Then maybe I might be more understanding...
Like, a person with a london accent would sound pretty different to a person witg a hull accent . . .
If you don't know where hull is, don't worry, it's just a city i live near . . .
Sorry Terragon. I'll stop then.
it's ok
Actually, Star, I kinda looked it up on Google maps.
*curses*
Why is it that the letter jackets that DON'T look stupid and pathetic and actually DO look awesome are all made in ADULT sizes?!
I haven't even got any good looking PANTS in the hour I've been here..:
I'd have a Capitol accent!!!!
Coolio:)
I don't live in hull, but i only a few miles away.
*grins at Mist*
Hi zath!
Cool Eve!!!
Hi Mist! I'll assume you're shopping or something.
Yes. Well, I am TRYING to shop.
*glowers*
*laughs*
It's quatre past seven already???
I've been awake for an hour and a quatre.
*nods in understanding*
in my time it's 11:16
I don't like shopping . . .
That was at Mist.^
Same thing with me. Shopping's hard for me, cause I'm in between adult and kids...
It's 3:47pm here🏀
*sighs*
Ok. Im leaving this shop now, after an hour, with three pants. WHOOPDY - F*CKING - DOO. In other news, I did manage to get two albums I've been wanting for a while.
Do you live in Washington, Terragon? Where Val lives?
Cause you have the same time as me.
Here i am
*laughs harder*
That's good you got SOMETHING out of shopping, Mist. :)

Damn disappearing comments...
Aw, okay Mist.
Poor Lynxia.

Or something.
Yaaaaaaaaaay!
*is laughing at a 'What If' post*
Nix! That Iron Skulduggery is so funny! I can't make up a story for that! I'm sorry! But I think the short stories from the people who HAVE made one are funny! :D
*is still laughing*
I noticed that whenever you say something about the disappearing comments, Lynxia, THAT particular comment stays.
I find that interesting.
It's Woozles' idea of amusement, Hope.
*whacks Woozles*
I thought you were exiled to the forest. What are you still doing here?!
*hurls him into the forest*
Back!

Although just saying, your chapters are miniscule. Maximum Ride-sized.
Read and commented Nix!
It's so cool! But I'm not going to repeat myself. :P Read the comment. It says all. :)
First chapter is small, the rest are bigger
i read the ocmment Lav
Still awesome, I think.

Oh, okay.
Maximum Ride chapters are, on average, three pages long. *shakes head* tiny.
