LOLkitten




This is what we call a Guilty Blog Post.

Why do I feel guilty? Because it's been well over a week since the last time I posted anything. Also, this post is far too short to be considered a worthy way to spend your time. But I have an excuse. Writing. I'm writing. That's always a good excuse, right?

Deadlines deadlines deadlines. Onrushing. Oncrushing. Is oncrushing a word? No it isn't. But it should be.

I'm days away from finishing Kingdom of the Wicked. Days! I might even have had it finished tonight, but I spent yesterday at the Oxford Literature Festival (which was a lot of fun) so that set me back a little. But I'm close. So close. That wonderful feeling is starting up, that excitement that tells me I've almost finished another book. It's a fantastic feeling. Every writer knows it. That sense of accomplishment that floods over you despite any and all insecurities, despite knowing that you have weeks or months of edits and rewrites ahead of you... None of that matters, not when you're about to finish your first draft.

Days. Mere days. My editor is waiting for it.

I have to get back to work.

Zathract Mist said...

Way late.

Nixion Strange said...

Now? Okay... if you say so

Lavender Hope said...

Who's Eve?

Nixion Strange said...

just one question
You sure you want that bit about Kali and Stavan?

Zathract Mist said...

*half laughs*

She's my girlfriend. :P

Zathract Mist said...

Yes Nix. It isn't conforming anything.

Nixion Strange said...

okay

Lavender Hope said...

You have a girlfriend on a blog?

Have you met her at all in real life? Or do you only date on the blog?

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, I'm snoopy sometimes...

Nixion Strange said...

it is done

Zathract Mist said...

On the blog but we're going to meet one day.

A lot of people here do it and there's also married couples...blog married, yes.

You'll get used to it.

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Mist, me and Eve are going to come to Sydney one day. It's pretty cheap, so it'll be sooner than later

Lavender Hope said...

*raises eyebrows a little*

Okay... maybe I will get used to it, but at the moment, I'm a bit... ah, confused about it.

Don't mind me though, yeah I'm probably too new to know anything.

Zathract Mist said...

...

...


...YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Zathract Mist said...

Don't worry, you WILL get used to it.

...I mean it, it doesn't take long.

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

By what? Plane?

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. okay then. I guess that's true, considering how fast I figured there were people commenting all the time.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi again Fire. :)

Sorry, gtg now. Dinner. Bye! Maybe I'll see you guys around again. I might come back tomorrow or something. Maybe.

Nixion Strange said...

I'm going again. I'll come back later.

Nixion Strange said...

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, yeah. School...

It's Sunday here, so I forgot it's Monday for most of you guys.

Nixion Strange said...

Yep. In Vic, school's over, but in the rest of Australia, kids are doing work
I laugh at them.

Nixion Strange said...

And I'm going now. I'll try and get back on tonight

Zathract Mist said...

Hi, Fire!

Zathract Mist said...

Zathract Mist said...

*sighs*

I've waited long enough.

*vanishes*

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people!

Zathract Mist said...

*collapses back into blogland*

Zathract Mist said...

*curses*

Idiots...

"No, you don't need to go home, vomiting isn't bring sick."

Idiots...

Zathract Mist said...

And I don't suppose fevers qualify being sick either...

*curses the shool doctor things again*

Lavender Hope said...

I'm here now.

I hope Sparky comes on soon...

I was watching some of the videos I made with my iPod camera. Some of them are really funny. :P

Lavender Hope said...

In America, a fever means you go home from school...

Zathract Mist said...

*vomits again*

That just happened in real life too.

Eve the ROCK said...

Monday through Sunday yo.

Just entered!! Not much room to write! I managed to fit in an offer of grapes, though. :D

Lavender Hope said...

*looks at Mist concerned*
You at home, Mist?

Eve the ROCK said...

*sees that mist is sick* Oh, you poor baby! *wraps Mist in a blanket*

Lavender Hope said...

I hate vomiting...

Once I threw up for two hours. The worst time of my life...

*shudders as I remember*

Eve the ROCK said...

Lav, youre back! It's lucky our new married couple are having the wedding later, or you would've missed out!

Star Inkbright said...

Yuck.

*looks at mist, concerned* do you think you'll feel somewhere near to okay sometime in the nwar future?

Sorry, i like my questions to be pretty specific.

Lavender Hope said...

Well, I know they got EMAIL married. :P

*thinks*
I hope Sparky comes today...

Nixion Strange said...

here i am, stop worrying

Eve the ROCK said...

She probably will. First full day of being happily married!

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! MELISSA SCARLET JOINED THE BLOG!

Sorry, i like it when new people come.

Lavender Hope said...

Hey Nix! :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix! I got two urgent emails from you and mist, but I already saw it on the first page. Thanks for caring though. :)

Nix, you no longer owe me.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi nix!

Sorry, am i saying sorry at the bottom of practically every comment i write?

Lavender Hope said...

I didn't get the chance to meet her. I noticed her comments, but I had to go before I could say hi...

But I DID comment on her blog...

Nixion Strange said...

i saw the word married couple
What did i miss?

Lavender Hope said...

Just Flame and Sparky's soon to be wedding. It didn't happen yet.

Eve the ROCK said...

Goose. Hey, I'm a bridesmaid! Teehee. Star is too!

Star, I'm about to post a link to a picture of a dress I think all the bridesmaids should wear.

Nixion Strange said...

when's the wedding?

Vultus Ulcorok said...

Hello!
Just wondering, who are everybody's favorite characters??

SHUDDER!!!

Star Inkbright said...

I didn't meet her either. I was asleep while the whole first page filled up:(

But yeah, i read her comments and added her blog to the long list of blogsi follow.

*wonders if melissa's reading this now*

If you are, melissa, then HI!

Eve the ROCK said...

Sparky and Phoenix said they were having the wedding. Right that minute. We were all planning quickly. In the meantime, the couple were already saying their I Dos over email. There's still gonna be a wedding though.

Star Inkbright said...

Dunno. I find picking favourites hard.

Nixion Strange said...

I have pondered this question again and again, but i have yet to find an my answer
Hey Vultus

Eve the ROCK said...

CHINA!!!

Oh, we don't know, Nix, but you're a groomsman with Mist.

Nixion Strange said...

i know i'm a groonsman
I have to make a speach

Lavender Hope said...

*thinks*

Well, I think my fave character is...

*thinking*
...

Nope, can't think of one.

Star Inkbright said...

It was funny:)

There we were, faffing about trying to get everything done, and then they suddenly announced they'd ignored all of our hard work and just got married over email.

Zathract Mist said...

Why do I keep vomiting?!

That's three times in half an hour...

Why am I on an iPod...?

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Mist
Vomiting huh? I wouldn't recoemnd eating at the moment

Vultus Ulcorok said...

Nixion Strange said...

Hye, you know chapter 5 is up?
http://mistandnixseries.blogspot.com.au/

Nixion Strange said...

you already asked that Vultus

Lavender Hope said...

Mist, do you feel any pain in your side?

Or is it just, like, bad food poisoning or something?

I was vomiting for two straight hours and I still don't know why...

It could have been food poisoning or a bug, but I don't know...

Zathract Mist said...

EVERYONE GO AND READ CH 5 OF NIX AND MIST NOW!!

*falls backwards*

Stupid...headaches...

Eve the ROCK said...

*looks at mist with worry*

Lavender Hope said...

That could be what you have... a bug or something you ate...

Zathract Mist said...

No, Lav. I'm not poisoned or dying or anything, it's probably just -

Bleh

Eve the ROCK said...

I'll go read it. *gives mist a mug of chamomile tea* it helps, apparently. I think. Anyway, drink!

Nixion Strange said...

Im resisting the urge to knock that drink out of your hand
I wouldn't recomend it

Eve the ROCK said...

http://www.starrybridal.com/images/categories/wedding/bridesmaid/LLK27.jpg

Not the one on the left, Star.

Lavender Hope said...

Food poisoning isn't actually poison. It's just when food goes bad or something was wrong with it.

And I don't mean a literal bug either.

Going to read now.

Vultus Ulcorok said...

yeah, sorry. haha
you guys are posting comments so quickly i didnt think mine went through!

Nixion Strange said...

we talk quickly

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Vultus. :)

Yeah, we talk fast, and a lot. :P

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...

It's just... you made it sound like you've been reading it for a while

Zathract Mist said...

Uh...it isn't just Nix's, you know. I wrote it too...

Nixion Strange said...

Oh for crying out loud, the chapter isn't that long
Where is everyone?

Nixion Strange said...

Yes. Give the sick man some credit
Vul

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry! I'm a slow reader! 'Specially when it's good. *wink*

Nixion Strange said...

Thank you

Zathract Mist said...

Aw...Where's Eve...?

Nixion Strange said...

*looks at Mist*
I'm saying thank you for both of us, so calm down

Nixion Strange said...

Eve said she was reading chapter 5

Zathract Mist said...

No, the "aw" was because Eve hasn't said anything in a while.

Thanks, btw.

Lynxia Lost said...

OK, to comment...!


Love the picture Derek!
Zombie Apocalypse Kitten. Just what I've always dreamed of...

Days! Yes!!!! Finally, after all the waiting - soon, my fellow Minions, soon...

OK, that sounded slightly evil...^^^
What the heck, I am slightly evil anyway. Derek- I know you can read past 200 comments now so you better read this!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Nix and Mist would be nothing without you
When i write it, it's crap
After your done with it, it's a hundred times better
And it's even better when you write it yourself

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lynxia!

Zathract Mist said...

Thanks, Nix.

*grins*

Lynxia Lost said...

Hello! *waves* First thing I do when I wake up, come on Derek's blog... I need to get a life.

No, scratch that. I have a life, it's just a very sad one...

Nixion Strange said...

btw, can you write chapter 8?

Zathract Mist said...

Yaaaay!

I mean...yes.

Eve the ROCK said...

Read it! And got delayed...And commented!

Lavender Hope said...

Finished reading and commented!

Sorry it took so long.

Lynxia Lost said...

How are you all?

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, not too long if Eve just finished. :P

Hi Shadow!

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm pretty goose.

Lavender Hope said...

I'm hoping Sparky comes on soon...

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi Flame.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Why Lav?

Lavender Hope said...

*chuckles*
Not Sparky, but Flame.
Still...

Hi Flame! :)

Zathract Mist said...

Let's see...

Today, I woke up after getting four hours sleep, felt sick right away. I almost vomited one hour into the day, DID vomit at lunch and have been ever since, have now got a fever, now have a pounding headache and also have a killing leg.
How am I?
Oh that's right. Bull. Sh*t.

Lavender Hope said...

Cause...

Lavender Hope said...

And you had to stay in school?!?!

Zathract Mist said...

*nods*

Nodding hurts...

Lynxia Lost said...

God, I was only asking Zath. No need to 'jump down my throat'.

Hope you feel better soon, anyway.

Lavender Hope said...

I don't really get headaches, but I HAVE had them before, so I know it must be painful.

Zathract Mist said...

I wasn't, Shadow.

I was...

*shrugs*

Shrugging hurts...
I wasnt having a go at you, anyway.

Eve the ROCK said...

*sits on leg of couch*

Lynxia Lost said...

brb, getting food.

Lavender Hope said...

*thinks suddenly*
*shakes head trying to clear it*
*is still thinking*

...

bad idea. Not going to do it.

*thought is still nagging*

Eve the ROCK said...

Wait, leg? I mean ARM. God. I once said 'how have your holidays been?' when it wasn't even the holidays.

Zathract Mist said...

*looks around*

Am I in the forest or the couch or where?

Lavender Hope said...

That's funny Eve. :P

My sentences are mostly messed up too. I don't think straight.

Eve the ROCK said...

What is it, Lav?

*touches Mist's forehead*

Ow, hot.

*puts a raw beef leg on mists head*

*watches as it cooks*

Eve the ROCK said...

Couch.

Lynxia Lost said...

Back. I now have toast. *gives everyone slice of toast*

Lavender Hope said...

Ooh, I wish I had real toast...

I'm hungry, but it's too late to be eating. I know 'midnight snacking', but I don't want to have to brush my teeth again...

Lavender Hope said...

It's nothing, Eve. Just a bad idea...

Zathract Mist said...

*grins up at Eve*

Grinning hurts.

The Awesomely Awesome Ninja Llama who is just so Awesomely Awesome and she was so Awesomely Awesome that everyone DIED (aka FreakFan) said...

Hi everyone! I know I haven't been on in a while but now I think I shall have to go again - Bye!

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi/bye Freakfan.

The Awesomely Awesome Ninja Llama who is just so Awesomely Awesome and she was so Awesomely Awesome that everyone DIED (aka FreakFan) said...

Hi/bye Lynxia :P

Eve the ROCK said...

Then don't grin. Only I am allowed now.

NOBODY GRIN OR I'LL SHOOT!!

Lavender Hope said...

The Awesomely Awesome Ninja Llama who is just so Awesomely Awesome and she was so Awesomely Awesome that everyone DIED (aka FreakFan) said...

*puts hands up*


Clam down Eve!


*hands live chicken as peace offering*

Zathract Mist said...

*tries desperate not to grin*

Trying hurts...

The Awesomely Awesome Ninja Llama who is just so Awesomely Awesome and she was so Awesomely Awesome that everyone DIED (aka FreakFan) said...

Yes I am you'll be glad to hear :P

Eve the ROCK said...

Brb...*skulks away guiltily*

What's skulking again? Never mind.

*walks away guiltily*

Lynxia Lost said...

OK Eve. Skulking is... I can't remember...

The Awesomely Awesome Ninja Llama who is just so Awesomely Awesome and she was so Awesomely Awesome that everyone DIED (aka FreakFan) said...

Ok bye now for real

Lavender Hope said...

Okay then.

Hello Freakfan. Yes, I am glad to hear it. :)

Lynxia Lost said...

Lynxia Lost said...

Lavender Hope said...

He didn't say anything... maybe internet died or something.

So i fiddled about with it a bit, trying to get it to work. I failed, so i went and had breakfast. I came back, and ny internet was working, so i read through the comments, then i went and read nix and mist. Then i commrnted there, then i came back here, and here i am:)

Umm y'know when your touring Ireland Will you be coming to N.Ireland?? Like, County Antrim. I know I've already met you, and hugged, but the thing is my friends want to meet you.
Weirdly 1 of them wants to just POKE you and walk away, saying nothing and getting me to ask you to sign HER books, weird right? Anyway, should that happen, Do Not Be Alarmed, she's harmless really (except in her imagination)
I'm about to head out to school now realising I might as well have posted this on my blog and sent you a link given how l

Star Inkbright said...

Damn you, mist.

Lavender Hope said...
