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.

Yes you knw me now my first name is Erin
Back now. :)
Hi again.
Hey i figured its what 9pm in Ireland? If im gonna get spooned ill be spooned in the next post xD i also was the idiot to get DL on Wall of Shame...but i needed the points xD
NEOUMMMMMMMMMMMM. BACK. Clearly. ;D
That's funny Zaf. :P
wb L! :)
Thanks, Lav! :3
I found it funny. My class had the best reaction. I got them in shock. They were like...."How do you forget to add with?!"
Me, "Uhm....assuming he was writing a bok was most likely brain dead."
Ha. :P
Sorry, I'm a little distant. Cleaning out the recycle bin on my comp.
My friend reckons Twilight is better than the Hunger Games. I intend to slap her next time I see her.
Hmm so my friend needs The Faceless Ones but I dont have the book....the note in my Easter basket was funny so i know ill own the book plus TEOTW i think im stalking my mailbox
*just remembered*
Hey Zaf! I saw on your profile that one of your fave books is Warrior Cats! Is that the one by Erin Hunter?
Cause if it is, I'm going to make a fan-fic. I already have a blog for it.
Also, if that's the same book, have you read the latest one yet?
Hunger Games is WAY better than Twilight!
Yeah Lavender I'm having a little chat about it with her
It is that series! I read the last one xD cheered like mad! Also i do my own Clan on Wizard101 im Lightstar leader of LightClan daughter of Rainstar and Nightfire xD
Having to educate people because they don't know about Green Day......
*ashamed of people*
WIZARDS 101!
That's so cool, Zaf! :D I seriously CRIED at the end of the last one. It was so sad!
L, I know Green Day!
I loved one death the rest i cried like hell. I bet you know who I wanted dead xD
I know Green Day *isnt totally clueless*
I'm going to reread the whole series again.
Do you read the Seekers books too, Zaf? I'm not into that one much. And did you hear about Survivors yet? I know what animal they're doing! :D
Sorry, I'm just glad I can talk to someone who actually knows this stuff.
THANK GOD YOU KNOW ABOUT GREEN DAY!!!!!!! <3
Now for Disturbed. :3
Yup, definitely. They made the other deaths so sad. :'(
Sorry, I don't really like metal music THAT much. I have some songs in that genre but not many.
I listen to Taylor Swift... That's it
I read book 1 for Seekers but never got into it. I didnt remember hearing if Survivors but i thought Warriors made me cry a lot! Bluestar's Prophecy was sad so was Crookedstar's Promise and Dawn and Starlight i cried reading Dawn
I just love Metal <3 I like K-Pop, too. Don't know why I just do. :3 I was brought up listening to Metal, I LOVE IT!!!!!! <3
I listen to Taylor Swift too, Robin.
Me too, Zaf. But I didn't read Crookedstar's Promise yet. :( I want to!
K-Pop, as in Korean music, L?
I've heard some, but never really liked K-Pop.
Indeed, Lav. I LOVE BIG BANG, BEAST, SHINee, MBLAQ (OMGG MBlAQ, YES) and TEEN TOP, they're good, too. Among others, of course. Then there's 2NE1 and 4 Minute. Oh and G.Na. :3
It was good. I found RiverClan different xD i based LightClan from RiverClan
Cool, L. Did you know that I lived in South Korea for a while? That's where I listened to some of the music, but I wasn't that interested.
That's cool, Zaf. Erin Hunter is making a new series called Survivor and they released the animal. It's about dogs! :D
That's so cool!
OMGG, LAV ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. *kind of dies A LOT*
Hmm interesting. I prefer cats dogs arent my favourite.
Omg spelling randomly
Yeah, I'm serious, L! I didn't go anywhere like Seoul, but I still heard all the popular songs when I visit stores.
I like cats more than dogs too, Zaf, but I still like dogs.
I picked up a little Korean too.
But I think I forgot most of it. Oops. :P
GAHHHHHHH. THAT'S AMAZING. When I grow up I am either going to teach English in Korea or Japan OR be a lawyer. :3
Cool, L!
Oh, did you know that I'm three quarters Japanese? I've also been to Japan too. :)
I live in America. I want to go to Ireland and England. Im part Irish ( better side) and Italian. I been to Jamaca and Canada.
Hey Zaf!
I just got an email about Survivors! They're saying you can still vote for the cover! I'll forward it to you!
Alrighty! Im actually laughing at myself irl
I monitor a fight for HG roleplay so i acidently kill offmy district partner. I died in the bloodbath xD
Uh oh Zaf lol
Good thing Alec is better at monitoring. Though i got the excuse! I was half asleep
I'm just an eighth Welsh, the other seventh is pure English. :'3
Sorry I am taking so long to reply, my laptop died.
I'm still a bit distant...
I using the iPad xD i spazzed on it today already and im really being weird i saw my SP books and hugged Dark Days *sighs* i forgot to give Nikki Mortal Coil!!! Bad Zafira!
I GOT TWO MORE SP BOOKS, TODAY. AND TWO MORE ARE ON THEIR WAY. *spazzes out A LOT*
Cool L!
I got all except TEOTW. :( Wish I could get it.
Waiting for the two i ordered: TEOTW and The Faceless Ones. I feel like a mobile library! Everyone asks me to borrow my SP books i got one of all but Sceptre Of The Ancients
I got 2 of Sceptre Of The Ancients and i should have wrote that letter!!! Too brain dead though i cant spell anything! Or think
Huh....OMG ALMOST NEW PAGE I THINK
Hi people!
TWILIGHT BETTER THAN HG??? NO WAY IN THIS DIMENSION OR ANY OTHER ONE! LAST WEEK ME AND MY FRIDNDS WERE WATCHING TWIGHT BREAKING DAWN PART ONE, AND IT WAS SO BORING THAT WE STARTED PLAYING WITH PUR HARIBO! THEN I WAS DOING A HARIBO WEDDING AND MY TWO FRIEND WERE SCREAMING ABOUT WHICH ONE OF THEM GOT TO MARRY PEETA! I ALSO TRIED TO DO A HARIBO WEDDING WITH PEETA AND BOTH MY FRIENDS BUT THEY RIPPED THE BRIDES UP, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SHARE HIM . . . AND ALL THIS WHILR THE DVD WAS STILL ON! WE WERE JUST IGNORING IT! AND WE LIKE TWILIGHT! (WELL I PERSONALLY ONLY LIKE THE BOOKS BUT THEY LIKE THE FILMS)
Hello??? I've got 10 mins...

Thank you Star
Hi Rim

ONE OF MY FRIENDS EVEN HAD A "MRS. PEETA MELLARK" T-SHIRT ON!

Hi Rim! Hi Star!
I made some updates on my blogs!
I like the Gamemakers actually lol
No rim but admittedly one of them hadn't read the books, only seen the film. The other one . . . Has no respect for books. She is a book murderer. You should see her copy of catching fire - i was so angry coz it was about a week old and the cover.was all creased. Although actually it's her sister's really, but whatever.
Dedication...
I dedicate to those people unlucky enough to have only read a few SP books and are waiting to receive or buy the others. Without those people we would not feel empathy and we would not have to keep a lid on the more dramatic/crucial parts in the other books. I thank you all for keeping our convos Spoiler free!!!
I'm sorry, I've been doing too much.
Things are still needing to be worked out on the blogs...
Can't wait to get my hands on that book! Love ya Derek :)
Eh, I mean too much at once...
I.m just brain dead xD dont mind my head going insane
*looks at time*
Oh, gosh! Sorry, I have to get going now! Bye!
I AM OFF, NOW GUYS!!!!! BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, MUCH LOVE!! ^_^
Same Zaf!!! I liked the power off the Game Makers, the fact that they only had to press a button and someone could die or be seriously injured!!!
I've got 4 hours of football tomorrow... I'm gona stay online!!!
Bye Lav and L!!!!
Lol!! Im like HAPPY to be Gamemaker if i could. I find it...awesome!!!
May the fours be with you, lavender and luciana!
I guess you'd not want to be head Game Maker... Look what happened to Seneca!!
Plutarch was no better!! He betrayed the others!
Nooo never Head Gamemaker lol
*can hear fireworks out of window for some reason*
If I was you Star I'd probably be tensing and pacing.
I HATE fireworks!!!
I like them.
They look amazig. But i can't actually see these ones, only here the bangs.
Oh. They've stopped now:(
Everything sounds all quiet . . .
Awkward. Im sitting in my room lol
In the car today we had these songs on and i'd completely forgotten them but we used to listen to them quite a lot years and years ago and it's creepy because i know them really well and i'd never realised it . . .
Lol! I do that quite a lot!
What songs where they???
Dum, dum, dumdumdumdum d-dum, dum, dum, dumdumdumdum . . .
I never realized how blonde i get
No idea. They weren't on a CD or anything - we have two cars and we usually use the silver one but today we used the blue one, and it has this . . .radio thingy . . .which does the radio but also has all these songs stored in it.
Cool!
Zaf, are you actually blonde??
We only have one car... A stupid Toyota.
But we have 3 bikes...
I'm not blonde, but my hair is a blondish kind of brown.
Nope! I just act it at the best of times
I've got a golden brown hair colour, like a bit overcooked cake. In the summer I go mildly ginger.
We have one silver car which is a company car, one blue car which is three years older than me (we got it second hand), one absoluty ancient campervan which has a max speed of sixty (seriously, the speedometer only goes up to that much) and everyone in our family has a bike (that's five bikes).
Coolio.
When i was really little i had curly blonde hair. *grins*
Now? Straight blondish brown hair.
I meant motor bikes... But we've also got 3 pedal bikes...
I look at all these photos of myself in nursery i and it's just like OMGG i had long curly blonde hair and only about five freckles . . .
Silver and gray car lol
Oh. Right. Five bicycles then. No motor bikes.
Ever ridden on one??
Used to have blue eyes now I really don't know what coour they are...
Im terrified of motor bikes
Why Zaf??
No.
I have blue eyes.
We all have dark pics . . .
Lol we do but mine is for District 7 though i roleplay a mentor from 9
ZAF!!! JUST NOTICED YOUR PIC IS D7!!! I GOT DISTRICT 12 IN MY ID THING!!!! GO COAL MINERS!!!
Mine is a shadow phoenix!
Coz i own a shadow phoenix called zephyr!
Im D7 for my ID xD im a load puller
All of us, at some point, have had a HG pic.
We did roleplays as our drama exam. We had to pick a book or film and each person had to choose a character that their friend is most like. I got Katniss and I picked my friend for Effie. We did the reaping scene. Lots of people were confused when I started to scream "I VOLUNTEER!"
I do a roleplay on facebook. Im Erin of D9. Trust me the Head agamemaker aesone
Dinner!!! Bye bye *shadow walks*
I think I've had around 4... A d12 one, a Gale and Kat sitting on mountains, my team gale badge and my Gale quote... I've probably had more though...
Bye Zaf!!! *hugs*
May the fours be with you zaf!
Star, can youremember your first profile pic???
Yes, i can as a matter of fact. It was a unicorn with a rainbow behind it. I'd drawn it once, before it was my pic.
No, i mean i got it off the internet, but one time i copied it.
OH YEAH!! I REMEMBER THAT!!!
You do? Yeah. I remember when i was new i was getting beat up by superllamas while you and lynxia were eating popcorn. On the last page of the post Blogger Bah. I don't remember where exactly i first appeared though . . .
*is trying to find where i first came on*
This might take a while.
Heyyyyyyyyyy
I found mine!!!!!! On around 700 on The 10 winners in November!!! I just said "I don't think anyone I know is as epic as you guys! :)"
Hi Val!! Were just trying to find when we first came on this blog!!
November 4, 2011, 6:45 PM. *smiles at memories of noob times*
Hi val!
I know it was on Blogger Bah in january. Just trying to find where. 1200 comments through already.
I came on the Blog on September 17, 2011, on the "Death Bringer Unleashed" post. I memorized it.
If I told you I'd been here, watching, all this time would you be creeped out?
Bah, can't focus on homework, so I'm here.
