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.

In three comments.
1st!
Tadaa!
*has now waited one hour*
Oh, were we that close?
Congrats Sparky! Sorry I wasn't talking much!
I dedicate this page to Lynx and Lav.
You two are amazing.
All that needs to be said, even though I could go on forever.
Lav, if Robin has been waiting for twelve hours, what makes you think that you'll get it this quickly?
*smiles at ded*
Thanks Sparky.
*laughs and shrugs*
I don't know. I'm just waiting. Guess I've stopped feeling so anxious now, but still checking my email once in a while.
Just, pointing it out...
Oh, okay. :P
*laughs and climbs tree*
*sits on branch and swings upside down, lags hooked over the branch*
Hello upside down Lav!
*laughs too*
Hello hanging Sparky!
Hmm... That just gave me an idea... Why didn't I think of it before?
*smiles and walks to the lake, turns into a dolphin and goes swimming*
*is laughing*
*jumps in the air and flips*
*swims to the bottom of the lake and back to the surface again*
*branch starts creaking*
...
*branch snaps and lands on me*
*is trapped*
Heeeeeeeeeelp....!
*changes back and gets out of the lake*
*runs up to Sparky and gets the branch off her*
You okay?
*rolls out from under the branch*
Thanks.
I'm fine.
*smiles*
That's good. :)
*stands up and brushes self off*
Thanks again for saving me.
It's okay, Sparky.
Luckily I was getting out of the lake anyway when your branch broke.
Luckily.
Hey, can you change directly from one animal to another, or do you have to become human in-between?
Human in-between. But it only takes a second to change shape.
So, if you made a huge jump while being a dolphin, could you turn into a human then, say, a falcon in mid-air?
*thinks it over*
Yeah, if it was a huge jump and depending on how fast I fall, it's possible.
Cause that'd be awesome.
Yeah, it would. :)
You should make that happen some time.
As in, for a story or here on the blog?
Sorry, just a little confused... But I think you mean story, right?
Just at all.
Oh. Well, maybe-
*remembers*
Gah!
*face palms*
Yeah, I can do that. I forgot the-
Ugh, I'm stupid.
*laughs at self's stupidity*
Yeah. I was making a story of my character's history. Of what happened when she found her magic. Yeah, I can put that in somewhere.
Cool.
I can't believe I'd forgotten about it.
Maybe I should continue working on that now...
...Wha?
'...Wha?' what? I'm just saying that I forgot about one of the stories I was working on, so I'm going to start working on it again to remind myself...
Don't think that made sense either...

No, I don't really think that made much sense.
Sorry, I'm not concentrating on anything right now.
Yowza
Hi Eve.
It's okay, Sparky. I'll be distant.
*comes to senses* I mean,
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
Hi Eve. :)
Hi Sparky.
Hi Lav. :)
Tygerfly!
Assymmetrical
*listens to music coming from other room*
NOOOO! That episode makes me cry!
I need to go now.
Bye!
Oh and,
http://whatifhuh.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/well.html?showComment=1334447108176
BYE!!!
Bye Sparky!
Bye Sparky!
OH MY GOD
I just remembered my dream!
I WAS KATNISS EVERDEEN!
Except...it was the Hunger Games after the one in the first book and I wasn't in it...
LYNXIA AND PHOENIX WERE!!
Omigoshness!
And then... *tries to remember the rest*
My dreams are crazy. Like, EVERYONE here was in it. And we were all watching.
Okay, I think I'm almost finished with the first part of Lavender Hope's Past.
It's the story of my character, if I didn't mention that before.
I'll post it in parts, I guess. Didn't mean to make it a story, but I guess that's how it'll go...
Watching the Hunger Games? That's weird, but cool, Eve.
Kwl :)
I probably have odder dreams though...
Oh my gosh. I just remembered one from a few years ago. That one was weird.
No, it's just weird. The Capitol was my backyard. Lynxia and Phoenix won. I kept having to be reminded that Lynxia was a tribute. There were photos. Interviews. Celebrations. Then I pulled out my iPod and starting talking to Mist. Yay! :D
What was your dream?
Nice ending, Eve. :)
Indeedarooney!
Hello.
Hello Hello is anyone home?
Hi Gab.
Ah, well, you ever heard of Venus Fly Traps? Those plants that actually have mouths?
Can't really remember much, but... Well, it's kinda hard to explain...
Hi Sparky.
Hello Sparky.
Hello hello go back home gab
Hi People.
Hi again, Sparky. :)
Hi Gab. :)
You got eaten by one?
Gab, would you mind...
http://whatifhuh.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/well.html?showComment=1334447108176
*points at link*
Please?
Yeah Lav.
No. Weirder than that. Not as scary as it was weird, but-
Actually, it was a plant that is LIKE a Venus Fly Trap. In the dream, a plant was being mutated into... something. Can't think of the right word for that.
*nods* I totally get what you're saying.
Yay, someone commented on my blog.
Okay Sparky, I'll try my best.
Thanks Gab.
I can only remember the visions from my dreams. It's hard to actually describe them. As you guys probably already know by now.
Will be posting 'Lavender Hope's Past, Part 1' soon.
Kay.
*goes back to sleep*
oh my god! *faints*
*picks up Eve as she snores and throws her into the lake*
I don't snore! *climbs out of lake and goes to superdryer*
Here it is:
http://lavenderhopestoryblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/lavender-hopes-past-part-1.html
Just gave it an end. The next part will be a little more interesting... I hope.
Like it Lav.
*laughs*
I snore though. When I shared a room with my friend, she told me I snore pretty loud. :P
Thanks, Sparky. :)
*smiles and tilts head*
You read fast, you know that?
Who me?
Well, I'd already read half of it...
Hmm. Sparky, who would you prefer, Flame or Hayley or Ivy? Don't ask why because it has something to do with What if? And you'll soon see it anyway.
Yeah, but I mean in general. Like I posted my response to "Well" and you finished reading it as soon as I published it.
*murmurs*
Either that, or I just commented slow...
Never mind then.
