A few other people also won for, like, other categories- including Katie Taylor in the Best Sports Book. I really really really wanted to meet her and she was RIGHT THERE in front of me but then I was called away for a photo, and then there were a few people who wanted napkins signed, and when I looked around again she was gone. Dammit. I always thought she looked so petite on screen, but in person she is physically IMPRESSIVE. Here she is with Cecelia Ahern- one of my top two favourite writer-type-people that I know.
It was a fun night- it always is- but very well behaved and restrained when compared to last year. Ah, last year... what fond, fond memories I have...
My editor Nick came over for it, so we were chatting about the Tanith novella and he reckons it needs only the barest of edits. What does that mean for you guys? It basically means it'll stay at around the 54,000 word mark and I won't have to cut anything out. Apart from, apparently, all those mentions of Tanith in a bikini. I sincerely don't see the problem. It's not like I have her running around nekkid or anything.
Ooh, maybe I should...

Can't believe you didn't win Skullduggery is the best book ever, I love and can never get enough of it :)
Zaffy
hey!
Hiya
Hey Derek!
I have been wondering.... What was Skulduggery's given name?
its greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh god Derek.....
So... Skulduggery accidently seeing Valkyrie naked is not censored but Tanith in a bikini is??
THAT is an excellent point.
Hope Derek saw that, lol
I always miss Derek *grumbles*
I'm back, by the way
*sings Gilly McKeith song*
Apparently in Derek's mind
Wait there may be a method to Derek's madness!!
If Sanguine saw Tanith in a bikini what would he do? He'd want *censored*
eeeew!
You just made me think of Sanguuine in a bikini *shudder*
Sorry!! No I can go dirty i can create images you dont need
Just for that, Ghastly pole dancing.
Heh heh.
I wonder what Derek makes his characters do behind our backs.
If Skulduggery saw Val naked he isnt gonna care hell he a skeleton so whats gonna happen? He doesnt have a baguette!! Sanguine saw Tanith in a bikini there'd be love made hence very censored
JUSTIN BIEBER IN A THONG!
Ha.
*throws up*
Ok I may die later,
Derek in a bikoni
Bikini*
Lucius Malfoy in a bright pink bikini dancing to California Gurls
Aah why would u bring Justin Bieber into.it!!!
Judtin Bieber is horrible
Oh my you guys... That conversation gave me the absolute worst mental images I've ever had. EVER.
*Oh my god
Zafira:
His lack of fleshy bits doesn't stop him from getting 'distracted' by Grace Kelly... "talking about one of the most beautiful women who ever lived makes me inclined to drop you.” (KOTW)
Another EXCELLENT point.
See so...yeah
And people don't forget. Skulduggery's man. Men.think about certain things when they think about yhe women they l.o.ve love
*sighs*
why is it that i get one good morning thennthe whole night just goes terrible?
Seriously?! Letting Zaf wander Blogland alone is not the smartest ideas! Things, people, places, and countries tend to explode
Soemone come from the land of dead? Derek? Anyone? SKULDUGGERY? I'll take Darquesse....
*runs in circles going completely mad*
Derek please tell me you of all of us havent left!
Now, now Zaf. No exploding countries.
Well, maybe one.
A PERSON!!!
Zaffy likes to explode things when she lonely
I like to eat trees when I'm lonely...
Derek....
You have young readers... And the idea of Tanith in a bikini is very strange...
Even weirder, I'm in a bikini now...
It's not like young kids haven't seen bikinis before…
Haha. Oh, Derek. One day I'm going to HAVE to read all the un-edited versions of your books. HAVE to. XD
Yes I gotta read those
I HAS AN ACTUALY QUESTION So since Scapegrace's transplant can he still use magic or is he like a mortal?
That's a...very good question. I never even thought about that. XD
I don't think he can though.
I might just destroy my email now.
morning Aussies!!! Any of you guys up to talking to insane Ameriminion?
Sure, why not?
Yay!!! I havent talked to you guys in a while...Nixon have you been practicing?
Nup
Sorry for being distant
eh its fine
No it's not
ok then its not xD
*feelings are hurt*
*tacklehugs Nix*
Nixon come here wait i got you
Hmm? Oh, no, my feelings were just poked with a cattle prod, that's why they're hurt
aaah ok good nothing my fault
HOW DARE ANYONE POKE NIX'S FEELINGS WITH A CATTLE PROD? *steals cattle prod and breaks it in to*
*shifty eyes* *sneaks up and gently prods Nix's feeling with the broken cattle prod* *runs away*
OH NO! YOU GOT PRODDED AGAIN? HOW HORRIBLE! WHO COULD BE DOING THIS??? *tries to look mystified*
*two
*feelings
I hate typos. Typos should be prodded with cattle prods.
I'm going to strings orchestra in less than an hour . . .
Ah, frollick it. Who does maths homework on a Saturday anyway? No, reclipping your hair over and over is a much more productive thing to do. -_-
The thing I treasure most in life
Cannot be taken away!
There will never be a reason why
I will surrender to your advice!
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand,
I won't make the greatest sacrafice
You can't predict where the outcome lies!
You'll never take me alive!
I'm alive!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tacklehugs*
Damn typos.

:( Breakfast. Brb.
BACK!
:( THERE BETTER BE MORE PEOPLE ON THIS AFTERNOON.
Going now! Bb in about three and a half hours!
That's m'name. Ereve. :P
...hello?
HI PEOPLE!
SOANNOYZIGGED. I can't go upstairs. Which means I can't read any of my books or write any of my stories or do my homework (homework planner upstairs) or go on my phone. What I CAN do is use the big laptop, so HERE I AM! It seems really large, though. It's annoying me. However, on the mini laptop I can't change the desktop background, whereas on here I can . . . So I'm staring at the MC front cover right now, when I'm not glancing at my comment. :)
OH AND I CAN'T EVEN DRAW ANYTHING. :(
LUSCATHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! HI!
Hello Star!
Who was it that asked me to find them a Proof Copy?
ACTUALLY, SCRATCH THAT, I CAN DO HOMEWORK. *starts searching for the school's website*
Not me. I don't know, Scathio, sorry. :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *glares at My Homework screen* ALL OF IT NEEDS THINGS LIKE BOOKS AND SHEETS. DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
I WANT TO DO MY HOMEWORK NOW. ELSE I'LL HAVE TO DO IT LATER.
Ok, thanks anyway Star. :')
Might've been one of the guys... I've found a seriously cheap proof copy, you see...
*is playing solitaire*
I'll ask people if they asked for a proof copy if anyone comes on . . .
INEEDTODOSOMETHING.
*thinks*
I've fought Elves, gone on quests, been mindless voices . . . WHAT HAVEN'T I DONE THAT I CAN DO???
I should probably do something constructive, but I'm too ill. :/
My comments keep disappearing. .-.
How annoying...
I hate disappearing comments . . .
Remember when my comments were always disappearing? THAT WAS SO ANNOYING.
This face: .-. looks upside down. Is that intentional?
Lynxia's comments always used to disappear. Comments must hate us D:
I might change my desktop background to a picture of something that isn't Skulduggery. I keep wanting to draw him. It's annoying me.
would not mind seeing tanith in a bikini either, to be perfectly honest.
Yes, Star. It was intentional.
I remember Lynxia's comments disappearing!
MINE USED TO DISAPPEAR ALL THE TIME. THEN THEY STOPPED IT. THEN THEY STARTED IT AGAIN. D:
Comments are evil.
. . . I could go on a quest to find the source of the disappearingness of comments? *hopeful smile*
Oh, okay. :/
*glares at Skulduggery* STOP MAKING ME WANT TO DRAW YOU.
I think quests are things you can only go on once. They tend to lose their appeal.
Oh, I know. *pulls pop-up window into middle on screen so it covers Skulduggery's face* THAT'S BETTER.
. . . No, it isn't. *frowns at his arm and tie*
*copies URL onto fresh page so it fills whole screen* *shrinks it slightly*
No . . . the bigness of it is still annoying me. *starts looking for new desktop background*
*laughs* Star, you're hilarious!
VICTIMIZED! VICTIMIZED! V-V-V-V-V, VICTIMIZED!
*sets the Lies front cover as desktop background* OOH. That looks awesome. Not quite as awesome as the MC background I got rid of, but at least this one is less annoying. :)
I am? O_O
YAY. :)
I'm on the comp,so it's easier to do . . .
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*tacklehugs*
I NEVER SPEAK TO YOU. AND TODAY I ALMOST SPOKE TO YOU, AND THE OTHER DAY I ALSO ALMOST SPOKE TO YOU, BUT THEN ONE OF US WENT> :(
SO HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*WENT.
*stares in awe at desktop background* Now all I have too do is not want to draw this. I always want to draw things I've spent ages drawing before, like Skulduggery . . . I've drawn Lies quite a few times before, although obviously it's easier than drawing Skulduggery . . . :/
I REMEMBER DOING THAT S. LONGER AT THE BOTTOM THAN AT THE TOP. AND THE E WITH THE FLATISH THREE LINES STICKING OUT. AND DRAKE'S TENTACLE, THAT TOOK A LOT OF ADJUSTING . . . *shifts pop-up window* AND YOU JUST HAD TO KEEP REDOING HIS LEGS UNTIL YOU GOT THE ANGLES RIGHT. IT WAS KIND OF LUCK, NOT SKILL. JUST HAD TO KEEP REDOING THEM TILL YOU CHANCED ON MAKING THEM LOOK RIGHT.
This laptop's too heavy. D:
hey guys :D
Never again, will I be dishonoured,
and
Never again, will I be reminded
of living within
the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration,
It's my obligation to
Never again allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless.
Denying the sin,
My hope, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me
Hi!
Star, that ^ was for you.
HELLO ANYONE THAT APPEARED!
I'm currently being angry at the post :P
Andworkingouthowmanybooksicanbuywithmymoney.
my hands are sore :( someone needs to remind me next winter to NOT play golf on a winters cold morning - hitting the golf ball stings SO MUCH :L
HI L.! Hi Mel!
L., I didn't ask you to find me a proof copy, but I'll take it anyway...*wink wink*
HI MELICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know I'm Alive as well as some songs. :/ I can remember the chorus, the first three lines, and other random lines, and tha's about it. :P
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
hi.
I can't remember the first verse of Pain Redefined...
*laughs*
OH! I KNOW WHO ASKED ME!
Damn. How do you find them, anyway?
msd
I can't remember the first verse og Pain Redefined. :/ I don't ALWAYS go around trying to memorise songs . . .
Actually I can't remember Pain Redefined that well. I remember the "Pain redefined!" part and that's about it.
Have you noticed there's no lyrics video for Sons of Plunder that'll work on mobiles? It irritates me.
Gtg to the shop to get milk. Bbs. I hope. :/
I haven't heard Sons of Plunder...hmm.
MEMORIES DON'T LIE
bYE sTAR!
GTG, AS WELL.
bye guys have fun buying milk :)
Uhm... I'm not sure how I find them. I just...do. :P
AAAAH!!!!!! THE PLASTIC OVER THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ALIIIVE IT BREATHS!!!!
BYE ANYONE THAT LEFT!
im not having a good day, or a good week - yesterday I fell of off a trampoline *thinks trampolines are still out to get me...* and today I nearly lost all feeling in my hands this morning from golf ...
Oh my god....:/
*tacklehugs Mel*
*tacklehugs Zaf *
Its ok now though because I got a subway which made me feel better, but even tough I don't have a trampoline anymore I still think they are trying to kill me... P.E is dangerous and its not safe for me anymore :O
*though
I know I hate gym class!
*grins*
want me to explode stuff? Im proud I know what pyromaniac means! See I know the big words Derek and Em used!
Aw, I'm sad that you didn't get the award, Derek. :( But at the same time, I'm happy for Eoin for getting it.
I'm such a bad minion. I didn't even read KOTW yet... *is ashamed*
(Sorry to anyone here right now. I can only post one comment. Hi/bye!)
exploding stuff is fun... but I think that they are trying to rise up against us because the period before a teacher broke her foot on one... I know big words aswell its just I can't spell them *trys to look natural and not suspicious*
Hi Lav! Bye Lav!
Lol Mel its evil!!! I hate gym class.
*runs in circles*
i feel accomplished!!! Taylor and Mom got called weird by Derek and .i was told I have issues
Omg.....
I text my brother describing Tanith. I asked him if she'd look good in a bikini...
Brother: look good? F*** yes!! I'd go out with her.
ok... I asked my brother and he thought it about for a moment then said "hmmm...posibly...maybe...yes ...that would be ...good"
My brother is actually 9 years younger then Derek....:/ its nt fun he likes to torture me. He freakin dangled me over the banister by my foot
yeah my brothers 18 :) hes torture aswell ... and a massive child
Lovely. I did find the nerve cluster that Valkyrie used on someone I forget who, but it was pleasant to watch him spazz! He tries to sufficate me, I also learned that if you kick hm in the baguette he can sing opera
my mum did that to me and I just fell on the floor, she laughed so much that she fell on the floor aswell was not fun :( I just put my one-zy on cause i wanted to feel like a massive ball of fluff
Phaha!! Balls of fur!!!
yo people
I feel like one of my dogs :) its great :) hey chloe !
Hi Melica !
Hey Chloe
My kitty died...he was crazy kitty
awww :( My rats died they were good rats :)
poor kitty :(
Ive lost
18 hamsters
a budgie
a mouse
2 guinea pigs and lotsa fish
18 hamsters? WOW
My kitty was ancient though
DEREK!!! Have you ever heard of a parot that can curse in English and Italian, and sing opera in Italian? This bird if the family was arguing would scream: YOU MOTHER F***
Just been Christmas shopping with my sister and then when we were in W.H Smith's I started reading S.P in the shop.
Aww, Zaf :(
I've only ever lost 2 guinea pigs. The 1st one were killed by the other in a fight (they were both male) and the 2nd one died just because he got old :(
Well dad got 2 guniea pigs when i was young and he didnt realise that they were boy and girl and they had a litter of 15 and he sold them all, their all probably dead by now though, and i had one 2years ago which died
Smokey was medeval! Damned cat bit me scratched me hissed at me growled....then in old age he slept in my bed and I just pet him. He happy then. He liked me then cuz I fed him
i now have a mini sausage dog called barney and he sleeps on me all of the time and makes a huge fuss of everyone, he isnt scared of fireworks but he is of the vacum
I have a 1 yr old black labrador and a 9 yr old sheep dog
I dont have pets now :(
awww :(
Yeah...ah well...
*sits in tree*
be proud i wrote something
I just fell of my chair...
Im on my bed so i cant fall
or can you...?
I did actually the day I read KOTW the 3rd chapter...I fell off my bed in shock. The second time was when Derek fired me. I think I hit my head that time
oooh yeah, I always wondered how someone would react if Derek fired them...
sorry if Im making your pain worst...
How I reacted? Simple, I was angered....HE FIRED ME!!!!
*sumons shadows and goes to hunt Derek down*
yeah why did he fire you exactly ?
I'm back.
Sit down Mel...this a story
So back beore KOTW I kinda just made myself Grand Mage of America, even on the Blog it got known. So people did refer to me as Grand Mage, it was accepted. I finally get KOTW and the Aussies, to their credit, never said a word that this would happen. In the third chapter Sult is the Junior Administrator to, Grand Mage Bisahalani. Of America. Needless to say I flipped. Then, October 5th I bugged Derek he told me I went rouge (me too lazy to spell) and I got fired
ohh ok that sounds bad... I wasn't really around for that, I went out of the loop for a while :)
Yeah he fired me so Kessie started OTOA and a bunch of Minions joined this is what Derek said when i got fired:
Zaf- Scarab's power was the amazing ability to... to... okay, I totally forget. It's around here somewhere. If I find my notes, I'll tell you.
As for the Grand Mage thing.. heh, yeah, you got fired. Cuz you went ROGUE. Or something. You're a ROGUE Grand Mage!
Zaf :(
Wow, you must of been pretty bad if they put that idiot in power :/
Me? Bad? No its because I used common sense!!!! Its because im a Necromancer!!! And I blame Derek. I really want to know what he thinks of my flipping out
I bet you hes sitting, staring at his computer screen watching you flip out...I bet he is
Oh yeah, because no one likes Necromancers. Is there any actual proper Necromancers in the books that have been held in good like?
(Valyrie doesn't count, because she hasn't gone through the Surge yet.)
He must just watch and enjoy it sadistic meanie.
And he never did find his notes on Scarab....
I g2g:(
Byebye!
didnt he? hmmm that seems suspicious...
aww ok byebye :)
Bye!
Derek never did :( I wish he did
do you ever wonder how many people in america read SP? do you? because I do and honestly I have only ever met 1 other Scottish person...
I kinda know a lot actually do. I can tell you I got my entire team last year (nearky) to read SP its just, I wish Derek was allowed here. I dont know what else to do! I dont! I wrote to the American HarperCollins, I can send the same letter to the Ireland or UK branch I wish someone would gimme a hint who would actually be better to send to
I have no idea Trowbridge
Craaaap!! Need a ded....
I dedicate to....Tanith in a bikini. Apparently guys think thats hot. Ok then. I also dedicate to chocolate I like it. Ooh to, cats because they fluffy and cute! And adorable!!
yeah I suppose you have tried everything, at least Derek can visit Scotland but I dont think there is any point in me appointing myself a role because if its only me and one other person then theres really no point...
*sighs*
True. I sometimes feel like we get neglected, I find it difficult to read tour dates now. I just...I dunno its not fun. I mean yeah all my friends go and Em likes getting me in trouble but still...
Derek, you deserved i as much as Eion. I'd have voted for you. :)
WOOHOO *partays*
hi, Blogland :D
ADRA!!!!
*tacklehugs*
And yeah, Zaf... I'd do anyhing to see him. ANYTHING. I'm trying to get my mom to take me in 2014 for the 9th book release... But I don't think it'll work.
Hi you two, by the way. *hugs* *hands skulcakes*
yeah I was sick when he came to Scotland in 2011 so I didnt get to meet him...:( Sad times
