I have a few random pictures cluttering up my desktop, so I shall intersperse them as I go...
I'm catching my plane tomorrow. An hour to London, then 13 hours to Singapore, then 7.5 hours to Sydney, then 3 hours to Auckland... I'll arrive in New Zealand a little before midday on Tuesday, mildly confused about whether or not I'm sleepy after spending a day in the air zipping across time zones.
Oh boy oh boy.
I'm not packed, either. I know what I'm bringing- roughly- but I'll leave the packing until tomorrow. I'm bringing A Dance of Dragons to read, and I've already looked up what movies will be playing on the plane. Movies that I haven't seen but want to include Battleship, Dark Shadows, Lockout, Get the Gringo, The Five-Year Engagement, and The Woman in Black, and I'll also get a chance to watch The Avengers again. That's roughly 16 hours of movies... I think I should be okay...
Today, I am cleaning the house. Laura will be staying here when I'm gone so I need to have everything nice and tidy, or else she'll throw a mug at me.
I fully intend to blog while I'm on tour. I know my publishers would like me to keep a Tour Blog, detailing how the events went and who I met and what the various cities were like- basically documenting the entire experience. Annnnnnnnd that's not gonna happen. When I get back to my hotel- usually at around 9 o'clock at night- I'm pretty much exhausted. But I'll do my best to keep my Minions appraised of developments.
I'll be gone for 17 days, during which time I'll be staying at 9 hotels and visiting 12 airports.
The temperature in New Zealand is ranging from 1 degree (celsius) at night to 14 during the day. This, my Minions, is a temperature I can deal with.
The temperature in Australia is ranging from 7 to 23. 23 is a tad high. Please Australia, cool down a bit before I get there. Just a few degrees. Say, five. Thank you.
I've got my Sky box ready to record my shows when I'm away. Right now I'm recording Criminal Minds, Newsroom, The Mentalist, and Supernatural. I was delighted beyond measure to realise that I'll be able to watch the Ronda Rousey fight live in my hotel room on my only day off- Sunday the 19th. Thanks to the time difference, I'll just be sitting down to room service lunch when she fights...
And that's it. That's all. I have a house to clean and time is running out. I also need to write up instructions for Laura on how to use the TV (it's more complicated than it sounds) when I'm gone. All you Minions-with-funny-accents, prepare yourselves. I am coming.

«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4853 Newer› Newest»Most authors dont disclose their personal information like emails because of the insane amount of spam they would get so unless the letter is passed onto Derek or he views it in the comments than my guess is he would probably not ever see it.
Zafira is it his actual address or is it the fan mail address, the one wheir all the mail just gets passed onto him
Exactly Maxis i mean being Derek is pretty damn loved he'd be attacked xD
Maxis its the fan mail. I do not think Derek would give his address he has the brains to not do that
Not just that who would want their Address being availbe to the general populace. its not a comforting thought/
Ya its the one where they screen everything first.
Yeah i think my letter safe xD
Just hope Derek doesnt lose it
lol youll need to like place something in their that beeps or makes a sound so he dosent lose it.
Actually dont do that itll be mistaken for a bomb or something xD
Lol!!!
Ugh brb
put lue or something on it so it sticks to his fingers.
fill it with glitter, you know, the kind that never goes away?
that way it'll be all over his fingers and he'll never forget it,
and wherever it is it glitters
lol g2g see everyone later
lol g2g see everyone later
lol g2g see everyone later

Could you post a photo of your hands?
On the blog? Please?
Uhm...
Cat I think he's in Australia. Its like tomorrow already
Yeah, well... Ezackly
I said that it was three AM
but some flights(if he's on one) let you use internet, and he might
not sleep on planes. most
people don't.
And Now I'll remember.
Austrailians.
that's not right.
He's going to freaking New
Zealand
But he cant come to North America?
that's so wrong.
I need a name for a car.
And he doesnt care about my comments anyway.
i might be back, one second
Okay
And yes he does!!!
Hello world i have come to destroy you haha derek you are first :)

OK lets try this again haha hello world i have come to destroy you and DEREK! IF YOU DONT COME TO AMERICA I WILL SAVE YOU FOR LAST AND YOUR CATS!
Ooh gosh xD
Lets hunt him down!!!!!

ok lets hahaha
you havent read KOTW yet have you?
No its only out in Australia and New Zealand
Why, Derek? Why?
Cuz his publishers are brainless
Yup true dat ok are you a valduggery fan?
Nooo!!!
Oh my gosh why not?
I just...dont get it
Ok? But they like perfect for each other oh what are your theories for what happens in KOTW
Well....
I think that the mortals learn about magic and Val's parents catch on
Really? Ok so here is my friend and my big theory
Ok that Ghastly catches Tanith and gives her to Nye and Nye takes the remant out of her since he's been searching for the place where the soul is you know and that maybe he going to fix Saguine maybe
Sanguine fixed?? Yay!! Then kuck Texan butt
Ok dont you just love him i love him so much :D haha supports America yay
Hullo new person i am going to destroy the world you know
tada
You will xD
Sanguine AWESOME
poke
He is so totally amazing but totally refuse that he is with Tanith her and Ghastly are a perfect couple
no poking
poor tanith
x Sigh x i know Ghastly deserves Tanith and Tanith deserves Ghastly
I poke whom I please.
I give Ghastly sympathy. Sanguine gonna end up dead. Or well riad kill
NO POKING I WILL DESTROY YOU LAST ALONG WITH DEREK AND HIS CATS
DEREK!!! FIX TANITH OR KILL HER OFF SO THAT WE WON'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH TANITH RESCUE SCENARIOS!!!
I'd like to see you try. He killed a door once.
You know he'll keep her alive now to torture us
I agree but i sort of want him to live just i dont know stop messing with everyone
Hehehe... POKE
I know guys but listen to my theory that Ghastly going to catch her give her to Nye since Clarabelle working for him now and he going to find where the soul is and take the remant out of her yay perfect ending and then she and Ghastly are together
Sanguine is a hit man. He aint too bright either
Watches fly suspiciously as it buzzes by her computer...
Thats actually not a bad idea.
STOP poking me! OH and Derek did do a good job at killing the door i love it when he was like sloppy work boys very sloppy oh i just died laughing haha
Haha, whoever get first on the next page should dedicate it to the door.
I KNOW hes so funny
I know i am going to destroy the world i have to have amazing ideas
I was laughing so hard it hurt. Derek amazes me. Im actually looking forward to Em telling Derek I blew up the Irish Sanctuary
*blows up German Sanctuary*
Totally i have to keep refreshing it stupid slow computer
The poor door
I wish i could meet. him. Actually, i wish i could hug him.
Hahaha going to move to Ireland and stalk Derek soon maybe next week what you guys think?
I WISH!
He says hugs are encouraged
Lets stalk Derek!!!
Omg I would die
"Derek can I hug you?"
I would love to go to Ireland. America is sooooooooo boring
Ikr!
Derek deprived
He'd love my school, we'd all hug him or ask him random questions.
I would sit in his chair like his cat and not get up
He would never hug me though, then everybody would want a hug.
I want a hug!!!
I would use up all the hugs for the people at my school they dont know who he is i would just be huggin him the whole day
DEREK HUGS
Hehe
sniff
NOOOOO
dedicate it to the dead door! PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
They are like bear hugs i would think right?
I wouldt know, and i never will. does anybody know where derek lives?
wait dedicate what to the dead door?
I mean, I'm an amereiminion. its like my dream to get a hug from one of my favorite authors, which by the way derek is #1
Yes first!!!!
Okay I dedicate this page to the door Derek murdered. The poor door. It only was doing its job! What did it ever do to you Derek? Hmmm?! Did it eat you, anyways. RIP door that Derek killed. Derek was mean to it. How very cruel. Doors have feelings too!!!
I also dedicate to Derek's ego. That ego is large as it is. I think its growing. Its growing....*BOOM* it exploded. Well he's got a large ego deserving a ded. There we have it
The ded, for the new page
YAYAYAYAYAYAYA thankyou
On each new page the first person to comment on it dedicates that page to something like Derek
I am going to stalker mode searching for his address and stuff haha! I am coming for you Derek! And his ego is very large
Thats a good question...next time Derek speaks I'll ask him how big his ego is
actually, The three people i would most like to get a hug from would be:
1Derek Landy
2Neil Gaiman
3Benadict Cumberbatch (I know not an author but he is so awesome)
I like his ego, if you get his adress let me know it so i can pour fanmail on him.
Phahaha Mom says im sucking up to Derek so he'll come to America!
Neil Gaiman is amazing love his book The Graveyard Book so good
Haha arent we all?
Oh wellz sucking up is a life skill!
PFT, whats wrong with that?
Yes it is. A survial skill you must have some might say.
He narrarates that book on the audio, it was sooooo cool. I LOVE his voice.

Oh, and me and my friend had matching shirts that said "TEAM PLEASANT. WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS." on them. And on the back hers said "SORROWS" and mine said "CAIN."
ARGH, ME BE BACK
Zorry I didn't say hi before Em, I was called away
Hi Em!
Don't be worrying Nix lol I'm not easily offended.
Hmmm I'm thinking of giving my chapters names...
Maybe I should do that when I'm editing.
Mine always had names, but that was only because I used that as an excuse for taking longer to finish a chapter.
Fare thee well Selena!
Hola Nix!
Sorry I'm distant because I am researching Jamaica
@Valkyrie
Did Derek mention your T-shirts in the blog? Because I vaguely remember something like that...
My friendling drew Skulduggery for me and it's AWESOME. She's so good at drawing.
No, that wasn't me. But I read that with my friend - Amanda - and we started shouting "Hey, we've been doing that for months already!" at the computer.
I love shouting at inanimate objects because your side of argument almost always wins.
Going nuts with exicitement😃😃😃😃😃
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😊😃😃
Hello Misssorrows
Just Wondering but what nationality is China?
I always wanted to know that.
Irish
There don't seem to be that many different natinalities in Skulduggery Pleasant... Thats probably just me though.
Because it's based in Ireland
Still... There would be some non-irish people.
And there are
But not THAT many.
There are a lot of American characters now though.
Maybe thats a hint that Derek is going to go to America?
I think I have to go now. Bye!
