Progress

50267 words written... and Valkyrie and Skulduggery are barely in it.

This doesn't mean, of course, that they won't be taking their usual starring roles in Book 8. Of course they will. But I've had to approach this one in a slightly different way than normal.

Because this book is about, essentially, total war, I've had to think long and hard about how the different sides would fight— such as what tactics they would use in both the short and long term. It means I can't chop and change sequences like I usually would. If they're written, then they've been written for a very specific reason, and I can't mess about with that. So I figured the best way to write about these military actions is to write them FIRST. Write the skirmishes and the battles and the politics and the arguments, and get it all down on the page. Then, once I have the military aspect taken care of, I go back and write my usual Skul & Val stuff around and on top of it all.

It's an interesting way of working, to willingly ignore your main characters for large chunks of writing time. I sincerely hope it works...

Oh, and sometime in February I shall announce the title. I've had this title in mind for YEARS. Some of the early alternatives were:

Skulduggery Pleasant: The Billingsworth Continuum.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Behind Gold Eyes.

Skulduggery Pleasant: It's War, Baby.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Revenge of the Screaminator.

Skulduggery Pleasant: When Warlocks Attack.

Skulduggery Pleasant: A Very Nice Picnic.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Brain-Puncher.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Gut-Eater.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulduggery Goes Camping.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Things Get Nasty.

Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna Die.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Readers Gonna Cry.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Horace.


And amazingly, the actual title is better than ANY of those! I know, right?

Well, there was a fire a street over. My neighbor-ish-people's garage exploded.

Their cat is in bad shape, and had to be given oxygen. Rufus is their dog, who ran away from the fire. He's around my street now, and he's really scared of everything...

Willow Von Stratton said...

Nah its not nuts, I just don't feel like making out the meaning right now :P

Fire...irritates me.

I have to do everything I can against it. Even though I've never really spoken to the family.

I've seen Rufus twice, and been completely unable to do anything.

I hate feeling helpless.

The poor little puppy has been out in the rain for a week, and he was rescued from something bad in the first place...

Anonymous said...

The kitty is alive, Rufus is alive (as of ten-ish minutes ago)

Rufus is still out on the street, and the kitty is not fully better.

Willow Von Stratton said...

O hope they're all ok.

Fire is rather irritating

Metaphorically as in it's cheerier.
It's also probably rainier.

Willow Von Stratton said...

Cold is best.

then that library automatically becomes amazing. The series is just amazing. And I do have high relations with skulduggery and valkyrie in the sense I can take after skuldiggery's classy style and I have both their personalities. My friend made a comment that if they made a live movie itd be awesome if I played Valkyrie cause she says I kinda resemble her.

Jophiel said...

Death and Ian ran from the stone castle, though the gloomy forest, holding each other's hand tightly. Death could not believe Aretha had gone through what she did and then jumped out the window. Mevolent's men were after the two like hunting dogs after wild rabbits, she guessed that they thought they were escaping prisoners.

Guns started to fire and they started to zig-zag to avoid the projectiles.

"Holy crap!" Death yelled as one flew inches past her head and embedded itself in a nearby tree. It made a satisfying thunk as it stopped.

"God, do I know it!" Ian shouted back as he ducked to avoid a bullet.

Death stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Ian with a quizzical expression. He stopped too and stared back at her.

The hunters turned and walked back towards the stone castle, ignoring their prey. Why did they do that?

Death put a hand to her stomach and felt warm liquid cover her hand. She looked at it and saw how the red colour of her blood shone in the overcast day.

Ian's eyes widened and he raced over to her, lowering her to the wet ground gently. "It's okay, we'll get you out of this." He promised in a scared whisper. He maneuvered his body so her head rested on his lap.

"Pish posh golly wash," she said and waved her hand dismissively. "You know I'm a goner now. I know it too." She said and coughed up a mouthful of metallic-tasting blood. "Go after Ari."

"No you're not. You're going to make this and Ari can go kill herself for all I care."

She sighed heavily, her stomach was starting to feel kinda sore. "I'm pretty much dead anyway. Gimme a few minutes then I'll be out of your life. You'll be happier than l you have ever been before." She promised. "All I've done in my life is for my own benefit, I'm a selfish God damn bastard."

Ian's voice broke. "Death, no you're not! You're wrong!" He sucked in a sharp breath, how she envied his ability to breathe so easily, and continued.

"A life without you is a life not worth living." He said earnestly and tears started to fill his sapphire blue eyes.

"You don't mean that." She scoffed.

"Yes, I do." He brushed a stand of golden hair away from her face. "For years I've been walking the planet, thinking I was whole, complete. I thought I was happy and that nothing could break my spirit, that was, until I meet you.

"You came into my life and turned it upside-down. You showed me what it was like to be whole, actually whole. Back then, I was a shell of nothing." He paused to take a deep, shaking breath. "Now I feel as if something is eating me from the inside out, like the hollowness is reclaiming my soul. Death Rose," he said, looking directly into her eyes. "I love you."

Tears filled her own ice blue eyes and she smiled softly. "I love you too Ian Heartbreak," she said weakly. Using the last ounce of strength left in her body, she reached up with her right hand to pull his face down to hers. Their lips touched briefly before Death's hand fell away and her body became limp.

*Sobs*

Willow Von Stratton said...

Then Fabi it's my place to live!

And death, even if i was able to teleport it's not like I'd kill you by changing the channel nor would I harm you

Jophiel said...

I more resemble Tanith... Blonde hair, wears leather, rides motorbikes, uses swords... Fun! Acts like a little child!

FAB! DON'T READ THE STORY!!!

Anonymous said...

Thanks to Lav for the inspiration:
[A dark theatre. A full house.]
[The audience falls silent as the black velvet curtain slowly slides open]
[A sillouette stands by a microphone, looking slightly awkward and nervous]
[The spotlight flickers on, revealing...Fabienne S.]
[The orchestra plays the slow opening of (the live version of) Who Painted the Moon Black]
[Sings]

Did you see the shiny moon
Turned into a black balloon
Just as the realization hit me?

Did you see the tears I cried,
Letting loose the pain inside
Just as the realization hit me?

[Orchestra speeds up, as she switches songs]

People downcast, in despair
See allies dying everywhere
Hoping my bad luck will change
Gets a little harder every day

Mevolent's ruthless and cruel
The damage that his forces do...
Anger building up inside
It's enough to make you lose your mind.

I knew that it would hurt
Didn't know it was gonna break my heart
The way things are
And the way the've been
And the way they'll be if we don't win.

[Dances a short solo piece, consecutively sticking a calypso and a tour jete, then dropping to the floor and rolling.]
[gets back up again]

When the sea falls from the shore
As the light sinks low, will I see you anymore?
As the tears flow from my eyes
Can I bring you back from a distant lullaby?

You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and a sister
Then my world was shattered

Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never will...
I won't sit still, won't rest, because
I've got an enemy to kill

[The orchestra hits a strong staccato note on the word 'kill' and falls silent for a beat]

[Starts again, cuing orchestra to continue as well]

Ya da da da daa da da
Ya da da da daa da da

[Does another fast contemporary dance number, landing her first triple pirouette, but doesn't seem to care]

[Pulls up to sous-sous, and boureés in place, before coming down again, and back to the mic]

[Orchestra slows again]

Did you see the shiny moon
Turn into a black balloon?
Just as the realization hit me?

[Orchestra hits a final chord and falls silent as well]
[No one applauds. Everyone is silently mourning the loss of the wonderful person once called Death Rose. A tear runs down Fabi's cheek as she dashes off the stage, holding back more.]

Nice short story death.

Nice resemblence then. After I started reading the books I agreed with my friend, I can be witty, arrogant, has a high amount of respect, been noted as charming amongst people, and I admit I do use the charm convince others of certain things, and I can be stubborn, independent, doesn't like being demanded around

Lavender Hope said...

Flame, I read what you posted in the comments on the previous page and I just want to say-

Don't give up on humanity and don't give up on yourself. Yes, there are jerks and bullies out there, but don't let it get to you. There are still people out there who are good and kind and nice. This blog proves it. And it doesn't matter what you look or sound like. Yes, to some, you can be... I can't think of the word right now... Why is it that when I think but not type, I can say really good things, but once I'm in from of a screen, it's harder? Never mind.

Anyway, you may be annoying or disl- no. Those aren't the right words either... Gosh! I hate it when I can't remember what I thought when I need it. Obnoxious? Maybe that's the word I thought of earlier... But you're funny, and nice most of the time. And it doesn't even matter. I like you for who you are and if you're obnoxious, so be it. I'm fine with it. Anyway, I forgot where I was going with that, so I'll go back a bit.

It doesn't matter what you look or sound or act like. And this blog is a good example of that. On the blog, we can't tell if someone is ugly or overweight or what nationality they look like(I'm part Japanese, so I have dark hair and eyes. People used to call me Chinese, because they can never tell the difference. I used to get upset about that, but I turned it into a joke and laughed about it.), we only know each other by words.

To be honest, the first time I saw what you looked like on Facebook, I was a tad bit surprised that you had black hair, because on the blog, I've always though you were a red head and skinny(not that skinny, but I guess you could say average? And Sparky told me you have dark hair before, but I forget because I see you as having red hair on the blog.). :P Just goes to show how not seeing people makes a difference. But because I know you by your personality, like I really got to know you, I don't care about how you look. Even if you were shouting at me for whatever reason, I wouldn't stop being your friend. I have no idea where this is going anymore, but I guess I want to say- don't listen to bullies and jerks. They don't know you like we do on the blog. When we meet in real life, there /will/ be surprises. We don't know what some of us look like, so we'll be surprised at first, but like I said. It doesn't matter if you look bad. We know you by your personality, and by being your friends, we won't care what you look like.

I realize I'm just rambling, but there's just one more think I want to say. I get called smelly by my friends, but they still hang around with me. If your friend doesn't want you around, they aren't really your friend.

Okay. I think I'm done now. And I probably got some things completely off topic, but I'm rambling. I forget what I'm saying when I ramble... This is really long...

When? You've been inspirational a lot.

The song-medley sort of began like your under construction blog, it's my actual response to that MC chapter. I edited it a lot, to make it more my own.

Aloha, Ember!

Lavender Hope said...

Why don't you just stop counting?

You can still dedicate, but I don't think people are keeping track anymore. Except you, of course.

I could try to do it, but I seldom get to use the computer anymore...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Counting?

No, I'm not counting anymore. (We're definitely late twenties though.)


I just need to update the MAHU page.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Hiya Fabulous Fabi! MaraTC and EmberTC are going to go and crash Mevolent's party...

Lavender Hope said...

Really?

... My under construction blog is/will be nothing but random rambling...

I'll just be typing things that came from my head, and as you could see with the comment towards Flame, it can get pretty long... Maybe even longer, if I don't stop myself. My mind is constantly in thoughts. Very. Random. Thoughts.

FabiTC is going to freak out...a lot.

Have you read Death's latest chapter yet?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I will look at it. Her chappies are so good.

You know, we really have to see her again sometime. We'll say hi when we pop in.

Lavender Hope said...

Why does it need to be updated though? I thought it was to keep score and whatnot.
*thinks*
... AsdImfghanjklidiot...

Neeever mind. Ignore that question. Sometimes, I don't think.

Yes. It started out with cameras and a camera-person sort of like Mantha, but I decided a stage would be more Fabienne, and dramatic.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

OH MY GOD! It's so good!

What started out with what?

My song-medley comment. Lav was asking how she inspired it.

It's under the evil snow globe chapter, too.

Lavender Hope said...

That's cool, Fabi. :)

Yeah, I might actually stop the camera thing, but I'll still be talking like I'm on TV or something.

This is me. The crazy attention seeker. I've been like that since I was little... I would act and pretend. Holdin a hairbrush or plastic water bottle as a mic.

:P

*observes Draw Something*

I have a slight feeling I try a tad too hard when I'm drawing these pictures...

At least my "nonsense" actually says something. XP

Lavender Hope said...

I would make jokes, but be the only one laughing... I can never be funny when I try. It's either me being annoying or... Mostly that. Even when I make a blunder when I talk, I try to make it funny.

I can't be funny...

But I still try. Because that's me. If no one wants to listen, I can make believe an audience for myself. But mostly it's in my head. Why I'm saying this, I have no idea.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Val!
*can get Draw Something now that she has more money in her iTunes account*

*really wants to know what Fabi says in code*

Luciana said...

I HATE THURSDAYS ;-;

Anonymous said...

I'm funny when I make fun of myself.

Lavender Hope said...

Wait a sec!

I think I got the basics!

||||<--- these things stand for words, right? And how many there are in a row are how many letters?
*thinks about it*
... Maybe not. Never mind.

Anonymous said...

Whoa...It's Thursday for y'all...

It's still Wednesday here.

[Darth Vader voice] I'm here to put you back on schedule.

[Regular voice] Who, me?

And Lav: I will tell you what I said, typing...

Lavender Hope said...

Hi L! Why?

I'm...
*tries to think of a time she was ever funny*
Like I said, I can't be funny... But...

Never mind again.

Anonymous said...

Ok, do you want to know what it said, or how it works-ish?

Can't disclose both.

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, Fabi.

Yeah, I think the Aussies(my time zone included) have the farthest time. It's Thursday 4:16 PM for me.

Anonymous said...

Or I could give you a couple hints and you could try to solve it yourself.

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. Um. Maybe just what it said is okay for now.

Lavender Hope said...

Wait!

Nope. Never mind. My mind is too tired to think of solving riddles right now. Just tell me please.

Luciana said...

HULLO

Because I have MFL ALL day ;-;
Kmn.

Anonymous said...

Bonjour, C'est Fabi.
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's impolite. Starting with a foreign language, I mean. Makes it hard to solve. Too bad.

There were some typos, though...

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, L. I'm not sure I know what MFL and Kmn are...

That's what you said? Whoa, it's longer when typed in code.
*decides to try to solve it later, if she feels like it*

Anonymous said...

*Starting with a foreign language, that is.

Also the "Makes it harder to solve" seems to have self-destructed.

Yes, it is longer.

Lavender Hope said...

*has taken the quiz*
Cool! I'm wreath! Wait, is that a good thing or a bad thing?


Solomon Wreath
You are Valkyrie's Mentor, you are witty and strong willed, but also dangerous. You believe strongly in the passage, and you are not concerned with whatever happens afterwards.

Never mind. I think it's a bad thing...
