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.

Ok. Who's Ketsu.
No, Ketsu is a 14 year old Saiyan/Senshi who happens to be in the Plains and wants to spar Kassd for some reason.

Oh.Okay.
Okay. And is...
*scrolls up*
Unsublia a country, or a city, or...?
Wow. You're an imaginative writer.
Both of you.
"Both" of us? Who's the second person?
The Rock beside you.
...Uh...okay...
She doesn't take any part in this though.
But I didn't create those characters, Mist did. I made a list of them.
*frowns* Why'd you delete those comments? I haven't finished my list.
Oh. Ok.
I was joking of course.
*shrugs*
Sorry.
Of course you were joking.
I'd prefer it if you didn't make a list...
*shrugs and deletes list*
I'm watching my big brother play Dead Space 2. If you hear any far away screaming, it's coming aaaall the way from Adelaide.
Drop an iPhone, breaks the screen. Drop a Nokia, breaks the floor. -
Nokia's don't break the floor. Mine doesn't. >>
And I'll listen for it, Eve.
What I meant to say was.
"Drop an iPhone, breaks the screen. Drop a Nokia, breaks the floor." - Unknown.
Mmm. Seen that quote before.
Hehehehehe. He turned into a necromorph. :D
SUTEKI DA NE

What's that?
Battle for Blogland.
And what do you mean by me being in Chapter 3 with Jo?
Homer: Oh, come on, I thought you were cool.
Robot: I am the same temperature i have always been.
. . .
...I said that Ch. 3 is almost done and that you and Jo will probably come in in Ch. 4...How is that hard to understand again?
Which story?
BATTLE FOR BLOGLAND.
Oh. Did I ask to be there? Tell me. I don't remember...stupid memory...
*hides behind a blanket*
Why are you hiding???
*decides not to stab something*
http://myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/battle-for-blogland.html
Brb. Lunch.
She's hiding either because she thinks I'm about to explode at you, or because of the game her brother is playing.

Shootings in Adelaide...
I doubt anyone would care, but you know what the scariest thing about necromorphs is?
They're people. They're not monsters, they're people. And they're in heaps of pain. That's the reason they're so aggressive. It's because they are in absolute agony.
And to prove my point:

:D
Yay. :D
Shootings?
Ok. Eve.
WB Mist.
Gunshot. Shootings. Killings.
Just looked it up. I don't live in North Adelaide. I live in the Charles Sturt area. But that's sad. :(
*starts making signposts*
Hmm.. People are getting killed there?
People shooting each other around a cafe.
Back now. Hi. :)
Hi Lav. :)
Shootings?
*shivers*
Scary...
I don't know why I like watching crime shows on TV, it's freaky, but makes you want to see the end. There are mostly good endings.
Hello Lavender
Also, I have Wicked stuck in my head now...
The musical.
Popular~
Ok. I feel empty now.
*smiles at the mention of the song*
*wishes I had a friend to sing with*
Popular~?
And Loathing.
Song from Wicked. Glinda(?)'s song. :)
*nods slowly* Okay.
Loathing is a fun song to sing with a group. I sang with a choir and I got to say the "Boo!" at the end. :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_uM8bUnlGQ
Popular~
I watch the Wicked videos from that user all the time! But that was before I got the soundtrack. :)
All I know about Wicked is that it is a musical.
*sits against a large tree and holds a wombat*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZQVSxXTCjg
Loathing~
"My dear father." xD
"Blonde." xD
"Blonde."
That part was SO funny! XD
My favorite singers of the Musical is kristin chenoweth and idina menzel. :)
Oops. Are, not is. :P Sorry.
"For my roommate is..."
"Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and and altogether quite impossible to describe..."
...
"Blonde."
That part still makes me laugh.
I know! Same here. :P
That SO matches me and my friend! She has curly blond hair and blue eyes and I have straight black hair and brown eyes.
But we would always be fighting over who got Elphie's part.
I think that song fits us perfectly. We're always having an argument over something, but still, we're friends. It's funny.
Before, though, I had No Good Deed stuck in my head...
Damn it, Lav, now I can't stop listening to Loathing...
Hee. :P
There was a period when the only songs I'd listen to were songs from Wicked. Let's just say... I was very obsessed. :P
My top three favorite songs from Wicked are, Defying Gravity, For Good, and...
*thinks*
Huh. Not really sure now...
Before I think it was One Short Day, but now I think it could be No One Mourns the Wicked.
HEY, GUYS!
GUESS WHAT?!
WHAT MIST????
What?
THIIIIIIS!
http://myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com.au/
Yay! :D
Reading now!
That's impeccable writing Mist.
Is he really dead?
Not really. But yes, in Battle for Blogland he is.
Why did you kill him?
Did you have his permission.
Read and commented
*goes back to stroking wombat*
He isn't here anymore. He left.
And no I didn't, but half the stories that has people in it these days don't have permission. It barely matters anymore.
Okay, then.
*sigh*
Always last to finish reading.
*grins*
But really cool, Mist. Commented too.
I really wish I have a PS3 or A PS Vita.
. . . Ch. 3 really sucked, didn't it?
No. I loved it. :)
No way, Mist. It was AWESOME!!!!
I know I said amazing, but it's awesome too.
Why delete the comment, Gab?
Hm...
*looks over Ch. 3 again*
Thanks.
*starts to think about what to write in Ch. 4*
It was awesome. The way you build up the suspense to end it abruptly with a sickening downfall of the climax, and ending the chapter with a death, it will leave readers wanting more.
What did he say?
Oh, cause I thought it didn't make sense.
Hm...Thanks, Gab.
Mist, he just revised what he said.
Please keep working on Ch. 4!
*starts thinking of the stories I need to start and finish*
...
Okay, I'll start it. Will be distant.
Whoa.
I just finished reading Chap 3.
I.
Love.
It.
FIRST!?
Hi Sparky.
Why'd you say Whoa?
Darn...
First!
1st!
What?
*gets up and carries wombat the forest*
Oh. Right.
Hi Sparky!
Hi Sparky!
I also said, Hi Sparky!
Hello All.
Or...?
Oh, hi Sparky!
Thanks.
Sorry, I'm distant cause I'm FINALLY getting on with my writing.
Okay, Hope.
It's boring now..
.
*looks at Blogging When I Want To*
...Are you okay...?
*sits in snowy place with wombat and gets colder*
...Eve...?
Yeah, I'm swell.
*looks concernedly at Eve*
And since that's the second time you've ever used swell in a sentence before, you've probably cracked too.
*decides not to grin at that memory*
*sits next to her*
What's wrong...?
I think Eve IS not alright.
Okay. I'm not going to talk now.
I know what it is. But maybe not.
*waves hand dismissively* Don't pay any attention to my nonsense. I'm sure you can do that for another hour and forty minutes.
*has decided not to say anything, so will be quiet*
*still looking with concern at Eve*
...Eve. What's wrong...?
*laughs* Nothing! Nothing happened! At all! That's what makes it so annoying, is that I can't say anything true because it's all in my head. :D
*sticks head in snow*
*pulls her head out of the snow and puts a beanie and scarf on her*
What happened in your head then?
*smiles tightly* Nothing at all, except for practically exactly the same thing that happened before.
...except completely different. *nods once*
...
You mean last night?
And I...
*sighs*
Eve, what happened?
*realises what self is doing*
Oh my god!
*thinks about leaving for a while*
*thinks about it*
Oh my god!!!
*buries head in hands* What is WRONG with me?
No, not last night. Quite a while ago. But...Argh, I'm a horrible person!
Eve, what happened?
...Please tell me...
*looks at Mist* But nothing's wrong, that's the thing! I'm MAKING everything wrong and now I don't know what to do! I want to be happy, I want YOU to be happy, but I know I can't do anything without telling you, which will only make things worse! I think. But I'm making things worse right now just by saying this! *moans* I don't know whatto do.
*looks at her worriedly*
I AM happy. Generally speaking, but it makes me scared to see you like this. Tell me anything you want to, Eve. Do whatever you want to.
*looks at him ruefully* God, I love you so much.
...I need a psychiatrist.
I love you too, Evie.
*hugs her*
I'm not too sure what to say though.
*hugs him back* I don't know either.
*keeps hugging him* Ive felt like I could tell you anything up until this. It's too complicated to explain. Besides, if I tell you, it probably means I'm defying my confused little concience.
And I still have no idea what to do. *sighs*
*starts to say something*
*stops*
*thinks*
You don't need to tell me anything you don't want to, Eve.
I suppose me helping would make it worse, right?
*grins at him* Way to rub THAT in my face.
*laughs*
Mist, I haven't told you a THING. Tell me what you were going to say.
*doesn't laugh because self is still confused*
...Eh.
That is what I was going to say though.
I just re-worded it a bit...
Sure.
...Im being so mean right now, aren't I? *grins* I better leave before I become too evil.
No, don't leave!
*smiles sadly at Mist*
Confused face.
It's already five o clock...
*takes Mist's hand and pulls him towards grass*
5:30 here.
*gets pulled*
*lies on grass and pulls Mist down with self*
*lies down and smiles at her*
*smiles back*
I remember in my first year at school, we were listing emotions, and I asked the teacher, "what about the ones that don't have names yet?" I've been trying to find a name for everything I feel since then. I gave up somewhere around the 200th one I felt today. *sighs* This one doesn't have a name either.
...
Is it a bad kind of feeling or...?
But talking to you makes everything better.
No. Not a bad feeling. It's kind of a peaceful one. Like I'm in a dream, and everything is just drenched in sunlight.
That doesn't sound bad. :)
*scribbles down the description "drenched in sunlight"*
..."Again"? Eve, I never stopped loving you.
*smiles*
Wasn't meant to post that. *closes eyes*
*bites lip*
Should I delete that...?
*shrugs and smiles*
...
*chews lip*
Never mind...
*smiles back*
*frowns at Sparky*
What?
What is it, Sparky?
I, uh, dedicate this page to my recent mood messages on Skype.
Think about it.
Never again.
Rust.
Life.
Glass.
Blood.
Yeah.
*laughs at Lav's comment and looks up at the sky*
What did Hope say?
*grins and shakes head* Just reminding us that she's still here.
Right...
*sighs*
*turns head to him* What's up?
I feel useless.
*frowns* Useless? What do you mean?
