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.

I'm just Eve. *sniff*
*walks in*
Hi every-
*trips and falls on face*
Oh, yeah. Eve, I read your comment on my story. Yeah, I did change it. Those where going to be the names of my real cats, but we changed them. So, instead of using my cats' real names in the story, I used the names they would have had. :)
*throws an oven at Nix*
Hi Nix! :)
Cool, Sparky. I know lots of friends with two middle names.
sO SORRY sPARKY, i GOT STALLED.
*dodges oven*
God morning to you too
Oh, okay. Princess and Mew. *nods*
*shrieks* It's SUNDAY!!!
Be back after breakfast!!!
*bursts into oblivion*
Don't get all lovey dovey on me, I'm not "back" or stopping by. I will eventually, but at the moment, I'm on a mission - that mission being chapter five. So say "Yippykiyay" if you'd like to be in my book.
Yippykiyay
Do you want my OC?
Yippikiyay!
Whatever that is, I sure do.
Oh, and the last cat, Scooter, he was going to be named Mango. Mango! Can a cat really be named after a mango?
I was the one who came up with naming him Scooter.
Oh, and before Velcro, it was Snap. I thought Snap as a girl name was crazy, but then my friend who named her first said Velcro was no better...
It's okay Gab.
Hello Nix.
Hello Dylan.
You wanna be in it, anyone, give me your biography. History, type of magic, full name, everything.
Do I have to give you my profile?
Yep. You do.
Am I still in your story, Kai?
that's an OC
Hang on one sec
In chapter seven, you are, Lav.
Name: Nixion Strange
Age: 14, almost 15
Magic: Adept
Adept Ability/s: Bone Breaking – Tesseract
Gender: Male
Appearance: Nixion is thin, taller than the average 14 year old with brown eyes that carry a dark tormented look in them. He has long brown hair that just reaches his eyes. He wears a protective jacket on special occasions, but most of the time, Nixion just wears black leather jacket, black jeans and a t- shirt. Black boots cover his feet and he carries a machete with him at all times.
Personality: Nixion Strange is very prone to mood swings. They can vary from becoming suddenly violent to being lost in thought to a cheerful teen. In a fight, Nixion can get overly violent and take it too far, sometimes accidentally injuring himself and his allies if in a rage which will occasionally allow him to lose control.
History: At the age of ten, Nixion was kidnapped by a Sorcerer criminal and was forcibly taught the Bone Breaking Adept discipline. This was done with an insane combination of brainwashing and extreme torture upon Nixion which eventually changed something in his mind, thus creating his sudden mood swings. Finally, at 11, Nixion was abruptly released with no warning whatsoever. For a while, he lost himself to insanity and killed heaps of people (so he is quite often hated by most)To this day Nixion attempts to fight the brainwashing done on him which also explains his over-the-top violence at times. A year after he was released, Nixion Strange was saved by Zathract Mist from a horde of zombies and the two kind of latched on to each other. It isn’t safe to say they are friends at all, but they are allies but also seem to be arguing constantly over almost everything.
Nixion Strange lives in Australia and helps Zathract Mist on cases for the Australian Sanctuary.
Cool. :)
Oh, and did you see Mist's Battle for Blogland story?
You're in it, at the end of Ch. 2.
URL please?
No! I've got an updated one, ignore that one
Nixion!

If you have the spare time.
Sparky it's up.
It's short and corny. And it does not involve unicorns.
Oops. It was Ch. 3. Not 2.
Anyway, here it is:
http://myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com/2012/04/battle-for-blogland-chapter-3-first.html
Thank you Gab.
That was really nice.
Name: ...Eve. Not my taken name. My taken name is Astrid Vanilla. You are to call me Eve at all times. Okay?
Magic. Adept. Who am I? Your worst nightmare. Literally. I can make myself look like your worst fear. If you ever decide to piss me off, you better not look at moi.
Weapons: My sharp, sharp teeth and nails. I like to call them fangs and claws.
Appearance: light brown hair ending around shoulders, blue eyes, fair skin, 1m 64, already more than enough info.
Age: I happen to be twelve years old.
History: one day, I hopped into a vulture and flew to Africa and back. The end.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I died? Well, my my. And my name is KAI OBLIVION! Not Dylan Silver. Goodness. I died? Well, then, I suppose I should drop to the floor?
Eve, gimme your profile.

What does OC stand for?
that's the updated one, ignore the other one
Original Character.
o-something character
I thought it was Orange Camel
Oh, by the way anyone, you can use me in your stories, as LONG as you get my character right, don't make me die, and I refuse to be anyone's boyfriend unless it's people in MY story like Juno Starlight. And you can only mention Juno or James Espionage in it unless you ask me and I say otherwise.
who knew
a lot of people, but not us, that's who
cool Kai. Thanks
NIX!!!
GETTING YOUR ATTENTION!!!
http://whatifhuh.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/well.html?showComment=1334447108176
Please!
*super hopeful face*
I gave you my Orange Camel, Dylan. Now...
Bye!
But people HAVE to die in Mist's story, Kai. You were just the first.
And I don't know who the others are...
Bye Eve!
Bye Eve!
I'm writing it up Sparky
bye Eve
What if I die? MOI? IN MY OWN BOYFRIEND'S STORY?
:O
Hehe.
Oh wait, I left.
Bye!
Oh, and by others, I meant Juno and James. Don't know them.
Thanks Nix.
Oops, should have said sooner.
Sorry! Forgot to say that I'm distant from now. Looking for something...
Quietnesses...
Why is it so hard to find something in the comments on a previous post?
Rhetorical question.
Hello
Yes! I found it! I found it, I found it, I found it, I found it, I found it! Yes! :D
Hi Val! :D
hi Val
Val!
http://whatifhuh.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/well.html
Lookie, lookie, look!
HIII VALLL!!!
*is about to climb tree but remembers what happened last time*
*chucks Val into the lake instead*
Nix...?
Be back in an hour or something
Okay, Eve.
K Eve.

Sparky, you have no idea how hilarious it is you just posted a link... I was just telling my mom how it seems like no one does that for me anymore XD
I was actually about to check if anyone had posted anyway :)
Oh, and HI *tackle hugs Sparky*
*climbs out of the lake and pushes Sparky in* *starts laughing*
Anyone know that I made a new blog?
Well, I only posted two original posts. The others(the ones under the first two) are from my singing and story blog. I already put why I got another blog in the post, so here it is.
http://blog-of-random-things.blogspot.com/
Okay, some of you might think anime is stupid, yes? Well, I don't care. I changed my picture anyway. I thought it looked like me.
*climbs out of the lake and laughs*
I like anime, Kai. Seeing as I'm Asian, I guess you would know that. :)
I think the pic looks really cool.
*pushes Sparky back in the lake, but trips and falls in also*
*climbs out again and burrows into the ground*
I'm not falling into the lake again today.
Val, are you writing the response to the What If?
*yawns*
*sticks tongue out*
*sucks it back in*
*hums*
...First?
1st!
*sticks tongue out back at Sparky*
And I just finished writing a response.
1st!
...Damn. It...
put my response up
Hmm...
I like it Val.
Yours too Nixion.
Never mind, I deleted mine because I didn't read the whole post and didn't notice that you died, so I have to change it now.
san choo
Eh, it was good.
i've got to go now
Bye!
Oh, I got first!
I dedicate this page to Sparky.
There are too many reasons to say them all, but the most important is that you, Sparky, are one of the best people I know, whether I know you for real or not.
You're funny, nice, friendly, and the second someone is making me upset - whether it's making me angry or sad or annoyed - you tell them to stop and stand up for me.
You are one of the best friends I could ever have, and the day we meet each other (because we HAVE to or I'll go insane) is going to be one of the best days in my life.
So I hope you like this dedication, Sparky, because you deserve it.
koijuhygtrfdewsqaxcvvbnnm,lzppol
^^^every letter on the alphabet and then some.
I got bored, okay?
Although, when I looked, there wasn't a 'Z'. I just put that in on purpose. The others, I randomly pressed, fingers pressing all but one letter.
Bye Nix!
Thanks Val.
*hugs her*
Bye Nixion!
Nice ded, Val. :)
Go to my blog.
http://fantaskittle.blogspot.com
*re-reads ded*
*arches eyebrow*
Go insane?
*walks in*
*rolls eyes*
*paces and mutters darkly*
*stops*
...
*rolls eyes again and vanishes*
Commented, Kai.
...
Okay...
Hi/Bye Mist...
MIIST! Come back! >:|
Gotta go...
Oh, I noticed the "go insane" part AFTER I posted it.
See? Only a good friend would notice that.
I change it to: (because we HAVE to or I'll end up in an insane asylum and at some point you'll have to bust me out, so either way we'll meet)
Okay. Bye Sparky.
*thinks*
Yesterday, I spent the night at Amanda's. I've been home for about five hours. And where am I about to go?
Amanda's house. To spend the night.
Bye Sparky if you've left! *hugs her*
Oh, hello Kai!
(didn't really notice you before...)
Well that makes me feel special.
Miiiiist. I know you're watching. COME BACK!!
>:|
*laughs*
*stops laughing*
...
Could it have been...
*thinks*
I think I might know why Mist was... ah... upset...
But, I could be wrong and it could have had nothing to do with it.
And what's your theory then?
...
*looks at time*
I gotta go soon...
Uh, not saying cause I could be wrong and I don't want to make you more upset...
*goes quiet*
You won't. Just tell me.
Hey Mist, I'm reading your blog and chapter 3 is really good so far :)
Thanks, Val.
...
*mutters*
Shouldn't have said anything, me and my big fat mouth.
The more I think of it, the more I'm thinking it's not the reason... I'm just going to shut up now.
*looks at time*
I have to go anyway. Bye!
It's seriously awesome, Mist. I keep having to check my dashboard thing to see if you've posted more of it :D
...Bye Lav.
Thanks Val. :)
Hello...
Well.
If no one wants me I'll just go.
gotta go to Amanda's, bye!
Bye Val.
...
Hello Hello is anyone home?
Hello Hello just pick up the phone.
Hell
*coughs*
o.
Is anyone going to talk?
maybe
*closes eyes and collapses*
So...
Tired...
Hey, why did you say you're confused by my response to Sparky's Story?
Because I was already dead.
cause Crucify killed her, but you had her dying by saving Haley
What?
No, you just said a shard of shadow shred through you. It doesn't mean you're dead. Not yet anyway.
No, I was dead.
Umm. Next time please state that you're aready dead.
she did...
I wasn't reading well then, I porbably got something mixed up because of something.
okay
dokay
lowkay
hikay
brb
back, but everyone's silent...
okay, im going now
Bye!
...
I'm back but will be distant... for now.
So are you going to tell me or not?
Hello!
Um, Zathract, not to be pushy, but are you going to write out another response to thee What If?
*opens mouth to speak, thinks better of it, closes mouth and shakes head*
That would be a no...
*goes silent*
*smiles suddenly*
Alfred's back!
*glares for a minute*
...Fair enough.
*turns to Sparky and growls*
Yes.
...
*backs up*
Sorry...?
Tch. Don't apologize for that...
*hurls a boulder into the lake*
And besides, I'm not angry at you about that anyway.
*goes to write reaction*
...
But you are angry at me?
Yep.
Um...
Why?
Things I really shouldn't tell you anyway because they don't concern me in the slightest.
*doesn't care if that makes sense or not and continues writing*
...
Okay...
Lav, tel Zath.
Zath, tell me.
*looks at a semi-old email*
I wonder how you find out if you won that Poster contest for DB...
*considers*
*thinks*
*stops*
*thinks again*
...
No.
*stutters for a bit*
Ah...
*gives up trying to speak and shakes head again*
...
Well this is a lively conversation.
*is waiting around for something to happen*
Something to happen?
*thinks*
...
*points to the huge army of zombies and vampires descending from the mountains*
*looks at the army, arches eyebrow and shrugs*
*snaps fingers and the zombies and vampires vanish*
Something different.
*rolls eyes*
Different?
Fine.
*hurls a dagger at Sparky*
*dodges*
*raises eyebrows*
Pain isn't something different?
I dodged.
Just...
Just finish the response and tell me why you're angry at me...
I'll do one of those things.
I assume you can already guess which one.
Yeah yeah...
Hurry it up, I'm getting antsy...
