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. Yes, I hate you. That is why I'm your girlfriend. That is why I hug you every day. Because I hate you.
*looks at Eve*
I didn't mean in general, I meant because I made FreakFan leave.
Oh. I thought I made Freakfan leave..
Oh. Well, no.
Okay.
Sorry.
*shakes head*
Hai detto che MAI scusa.
I'm writing Battle for Blogland (finally) if anyone cares.
What language is that?
*opens Google Translate*
Ooh yay! :D
Italian
Hello Lynxia!
Did I?
Lynxia's here?
Oh well. Hello Lynxia.
Yup. You said sorry to me and star, and you said something along the lines of you never saying sorry. But you do. A lot. It's funny. :D
Hi Lynxia...wherever you are
Nah. I said I hardly ever apologize which was what made what I did that night so weird.
She said she's on permanent msd mode
Hi everyone! *hugs* how is everyone?
so am i...
I'm... hungry.... but besides that, im good
I'm happy and sad. But that's a contradiction.
*sigh*
I'm grudgingly back because the book I was reading was actually dumb and I'm home alone and I don't feel like talking to Bob my imaginary friend because we were in a fight and I have nothing better to do and my feet who have a mind on it's own lead me to the computer so I sat down and here I am.
Oh my god that made my life sound terrible.But that's cause it is so I don't blame you if you think that and here I am wasting space and Mist will probably go on about it so I'm going to make my feet lead me back to my room so I can read Winnie The Pooh.
Okay FreakFan.
Hi people!
May the fours be with you! *grins*
See, i haven't forgotten!
hi people who came
*puts more mittens on Mist's hands*
I'm pretty goose
Hi starrio
Hi Star.
*leaps onto iPod*
Haven't done that in a while.
*sits back next to Eve*
Freakfan . . . *can't think of anything good to say*
You go do that FreakFan. Buh buh.
*chops llama up into little bits*
Santa- what do you want for christmas
boy- A Wii, iPod, iPhone, PS3, 3DS, Xbox360, and a car for when im 18
Santa- It'll be done kid
Boy- Thanks Santa
Parents- Yeah, thanks Santa
May the fours be with you, freakfan . . . And i'm sorry you feel bad about your life right now.
*smiles at Mist*
*smiles back and hugs her*
*really, really doesn't want to go out all day today but i WILL:(*
*hugs him back and takes his mittens off* my mittens. :P
WHY CAN'T I JUST STAY AT HOME??? :(
Poor Star.
Hey, Santa, I'd like a trip to Sydney for Christmas, could you arrange that?
Blame it on a certain SOMEONE. I tried reading Winnie The Pooh when I realized that I was reading nothing because someone stole it (kitty cat!) so I'm back here and I'm gluing my but to my seat cause I need it all sorted out as to not ruin the last precious hours of my b'day which is not gonna happen again for another year and I do not want to be depressed on my b'day so here I am gluing my but to the seat and I've already mentioned all this so I'm just gonna shut up now.
SANTA! For christmas, or, if possible, BEFORE, i NEED an A5 notebook with lines in! PWEEEEASE????
May the fours be with you freakfan! Nice to see you again!
Star, if i didn't show you that AF thing, you wouldn't be able to say that
I KNOW. Nix, i am forever in your debt. Thank you very, very much.
Feels nice to be...debted?
Um . . . Yeah . . . Suppose it is . . . Debted.
So that would make me . . . Debtified.
I think that's the word for it, yes.
Coolio:)
you know i haven't eaten all day
*throws an oven at Nix* You must be starvingo!
Brb.
*kisses Eve*
*dodges oven*
yeppers
Haven't you? Maybe you should.
I haven't eaten anything all day either, but that's because it's 7:48 AM.
*kisses him back and smiles*
*gives Nix a purple banana*
Nix, go and eat something. Come back in a few minutes.
Star, isn't it May the 4th be with you?
i'm just doing something, but then i will go and eat
may the fours be with you is from Artemis Fowl
*sighs*
*is already sick of explaining it*
It is, lynxia. May the FOURS be with you is an AF joke. You know, coz of the atlantis complex . . . ?
*does best to fit in*
Nix, go and eat something.
very soon...almost finished the thing im doing
I am very debtified to nix. *nods* He gave me the link to the book eight excerpt.
*is waiting for mist*
Only read the 1st one. Took it out before this holiday.
Only read the 1st one. Took it out before this holiday.
*hops up and down on one leg*
*falls over*
For some reason. Every time I hit a key on the keyboard something on my desk rattles. I can't figure out what it is...
What are you doing Nix that's so important you won't eat?
I have no idea what Artemis Fowl is about. For all I know, it's about Greek goddesses and assorted birds.
hey, could you all say bye to Dylan here? or Kai, or Jasper, or whatever. He's got a post and i think he wantes people to say Bye
http://fantaskittle.blogspot.com.au/
Hi Izz!
oh, im watching a video
hey Izz
You HAVE to read the others. Three is my fav, five us not so good, seven is the funniest, and they are all BRILIANTIO.
Guten tag.
What video Nix?
... A video?
i like 5...
yes
oh, and i made mine, but i can't get it on the computer
Nope. It's way better than that eve. READ THEM!!!!!! or face my wrath.
May the fours be with you lorelei!
Yeah, I said my goodbyes.
Sorry Star but I'm with Eve. No idea about Artemis Fowl.
i saw Eve
Will you be sending the video to moi, Nix?
It still sounds cool though.
what is wrong with you people
AF is a good series
if i can get it on the computer Eve, then yes
Have ant of you guys read Divergent?
nup
And star, I am much more fearful of the wrath of the titans.
I like Clash better though...
Yay!
Izz, I read the sample from iBooks, and I'm hoping to read it when I finish the HG series.
THE WRATH OF ME, ZEPHYR AND MY MNPMTB YOU SHALL FACE!!!!
Evidently I pressed the wrong keys there. That rattle is really distracting...
Anyway I bought it ages ago from Kmart and the cover came off. There's a character in it called Four.
Mnpmtb?
*would tell them to read an AF sample but doesn't as i think the sample wouldn't really do it justice - you have to get into it*
BRC
I know, I saw it on the wiki. He's supposed to be a really good character though, Four.
Muchkin ninja penguin minions to be.
Bb in 15
Im not really interested in Artemis Fowl...books that are recommended to me by diehard fans don't really sound that good. Like, no offense.
Bye star
im not a diehard fan, i just like it
Chip.
going to get somethign to eat now
bye
*flops back down on couch*
Hi people that came.
Sorry it took so long, Eve. I was delayed by a sudden nerf assault. *rolls eyes*
Yeah, but star seems like one...
Anyway, its not on my top reading list, so...
Homer: Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, yes, we have no bananas. *starts crying*
Marge: Don't be sad, homer. You knew he'd grow up one day.
Homer: yes, marge, but didn't you hear? They have no bananas! *continues to cry*
Yeah Four is a good character. I must say I like him.
That reminds me Nix. I'm hungry...
My brother was shooting me with his nerf gun just then.
Bye nix
Hi, I'm back. Again. :)
Hi lav :)
My brother is STILL doing that to me...
Hi Hope.
Wow, I was gone longer than I thought, but I bet that's cause I was watching TV. That usually happens...
*grins* Well, at least you can complain. Its my fault, because one Christmas I decided to introduce my brothers to the wonderful things and after that they just kept upgrading.
hmmm.jjnhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjhjhyujuuhygtyhghyy7y6y6y6ytt6ttttttythyyyuuuyyuhhhhhbhgdfghdfghdvfg

Poor gab.
It was one of my dragons sitting against the wall. I just had to move it.
Bye nix
Thing is, Gab. You found your background on the Internet and its too big while I MADE my super awesome backgrounds that are too big. THAT is annoying.
Oh, okay. Yeah, you tell those dragons...
Back!

Oh Really? How do you feel?

WB star

Star. May the FIVES be with you.
*grins*
:P
Annoyed. Well, I feel annoyed whenever it happens. But right NOW I am feeling anti-nerf gun.
*can think of nothing to say*
Nothing.
Never owned a nerf gun, but I used a friends. It was a suction cup one. :P
It's fun to shoot at the wall.
*is suddenly protesting against nerf gun*
*waves signs in the air*
I meant window... wouldn't stick to the wall long...
It's funner to shoot at the ceiling. It looks fun, anyway.

I dedicate this page entirely to Eve.
Because I love her. If you didn't know this already then I may as well throw myself into the evil world of nerf guns right now. I'm sure you do know though, so that's a good thing. Every day I'm thinking about you all the time.
[insert a really long speech thing about how amazing Eve is and how much I love her and how I would do anything to make her happy]
:D
Love you, Eve.
I love you, Mist. *kisses him*
Is it just you guys here?
Mist
This is the website where I compressed my blog background. Same quality still.
http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx
Again, LOL gab
*shakes head again*
That was intense.
*thinks*
I was a bit distant there. Sorry.
I'm distant again...
Working on my story, the one about my character's history.
Daaaaaamn it!!!!!!
I just figured out A WAY TO MAKE THE FILE SMALLER!!!!
You know the Print screen thing? Just go to full screen and then copy and paste it to Paint and then save it! total waste of time it was!!! Imma go blog about it!
Damn indeed gab.
May the fours be with you lynxia!
Thank you Star.
I was so frustrated!
Poor Lynxia. Poor, poor, Lynxia.
*kisses back*
Cthulhu looks angry.
*points to Cthulhu smashing down trees outside*
Wait, Star you confuse me with saying that when people leave and when they come, so is Lynxia here or did she leave?
*sigh*
it's nearly six and my mum has yet to return from picking up a sideboard. Seriously. How long should that take?
BRC dog's barking at something.
Yeah, Cthulhu has been receiving spam, and Cthulhu is not happy.
Right. I'm leaving until I can go on my laptop. Which will probably be about a day. Bye!
Don't know what a sideboard is, but it's almost one in the morning here...
Lynxia is here.
Wait, she left.
Bye Lynxia!
Oh, Lynxia WAS here.
Now she's not. Bye Lynxia!
Bye Lynxiareno.
Hi/bye Lynxia.
*tosses a radish and a lettuce leaf at Rawrgg*
May the fours be with you lynxia!
I bet you a million purple bananas he'll choose the lettuce.
Star, can you choose when you say that? Either when someone leaves or when they come? It's confusing(in Lynxia's case) when I don't know if someone's leaving or here when you say that for both greetings... Please?
*sees Rawrgg eat the radish*
Yay! :D
*gives Mist a million purple bananas* They'll disintegrate if you give them to anyone else, besides moi.
Distant.
I'll say:
Name, may the fours be with you!
When people arrive and:
May the fours be with you, name!
When people leave.
*gives Eve half of them and smiles*
Sparky, may the fours be with you.
(See? See? Huh?)
Hello Sparkio Braginskio.
Okay Sparky. Hi. :)
Okay, a little confusing Star, but I think I'll manage.
Io io io.
