84,726 words.
And that's the PLOT written.
Now I go back to the very start and write the STORY. The story is different from the plot. The plot is everything that has to happen at certain points— the plot is the writer inflicting his will on the book. The story, however, is how we get to the plot. The story is what drives the characters forward. The story is what captivates US, the reader.
Naturally, there's a whole heap of overlap between the two. A lot of the time, plot is story and story is plot. But not ALL the time. And for this one, the war book, I needed to get the plot hammered into shape before I start to lather on the story.
Now I get to spend time with Val and her family. Now I get to write about Scapegrace and Thrasher. Now I get to have fun and make jokes.
If there's one thing I don't want, is to have a less-funny Skulduggery book. I like it when they're funny. The danger, as Val gets older and the books get darker, is that they lose their humour. I haven't read the first few books in a while, but I'd imagine there are a lot more jokes per page in the early ones than the later ones. I expected this, but there is still a certain ratio I have to keep. Even though you Minions respond to the emotional beats of these stories as they get more mature, no one is really wishing for a joke-free book, are they? Where's the fun in that? So now I go back and make sure that no matter how grim things get (and they DO get grim) or how dire the situation becomes (and it DOES become dire), we have enough jokes and laughing-in-the-face-of-death to see us through the darkness and out the other side.

«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1800 of 4957 Newer› Newest»Hello everyone... How you all doing?
I'm going to dedicate as Ember.
I fell in love today.
And you know how I told you guys about that friend who treats me like crap?
She's actually a he. And I love him, I learnt that I actually loved him today.
And today, we had another episode of "The Chronicles of FRIEND X TREATS ME LIKE SHIT".
I threw up all over the place, and he just yelled at me asked me why I couldn't run the race we were doing properly.
I almost cried while I said, "Look, I vomited, okay?"
I hate how he doesn't care about anybody at all. I know that his family treats him badly, and that he needs somebody.
But I don't know how to be that somebody. And I don't think I can.
So this page is dedicated to him. I hope you feel better someday. I hope you feel happy someday. I hope you won't kill people like you sometimes say you will.
This page is also dedicated to the people who ACTUALLY care about me. Today somebody I treated badly gave me a helping hand when I needed it, and I was so grateful for that.
To Mycroft Holmes and his umbrella, and to the ded war. It was very fun while it lasted :) Best MAHUvians ever!
Use your internet to see who Krysten Ritter is. She's an actress and former model, who is very beautiful in my eyes.
Awh, Ember:( *huggles*
I just looked her up right now and I do see a resemblance, I guess it would explain why people tell Willow to become a model but she doesn't want to, since she wouldn't be able to eat what she wanted
Thank you, Luclosca :)
I'm going to be Ember now because it's just easier.

Oh, and I'm going to ded to the BSB, just to be safe.
Hola Im back...!...!...!...!
My apologies. I keep going into code lately...
I don't want to say what that says in English, sorry.
I found my last name, and I'm trying a middle one...
Sorry, I was pretending my foot was a dolphin.
Its completly understandable val :D
Wb, Mel!
That's an interesting way of occupying time, Val.
FINALLY! I figured out how to change the pic, so obvious, stupid me
It is a nice pic...
thanks on behalf to Willow, everyone picked that one, so that one won
She woke uo, yay! and she waves saying hi
Tell her hi back…
she just smiles, well I'll go for now, Thomas should be arriving soon so chat later (maybe) if not have a good day
Bye, Kim.
I might go, too. |==~||=_:||||=_|||~|||=_|||=_|==|~==:-=|||~||||-||||:||=_|:-||==~==:|=||||-|==||=||||~|||||:||||~|=_-||||:|==:|-|~|~||=:||||~|=_|==|||==:||||=_-|||||:||||=_|=_|~||==:|||==|||:||=_-||==|||||:|||~||||~|=_|~|||=_|||==:-|||=_|:||||=_|||~|||=_|||==|:|||~|-|->
Might not, though...I don't really know what the plan is...So msd, I guess.
Who's Mycroft?
Mycroft the character is Sherlock Holmes' brother.
That account was September Seneca Silver in disguise
I have no idea which you were asking, sorry.
I am very distant.
Ah,okay.
Hello Flame!:D
I have to go now, Internet's being finicky.
Hope you're feeling better, Flame.
BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Sorry, got distracted.
Bye Fabi!
HELLO STAR! *hugs*
Would you guys mind if I asked you randomly to read snippets? I'm writing Skuttlebuggia.
Oh, brb.
@Fabi, I am thanks :)
Not really, Lucianna.
Im eating curry and its HOT. I seriously cant eat anything spicy...its a curse...
Hi
What curry?
Ah...my siblings are so amusing.
Me: Hey, guess who's going to be 18 in the next book?
My brother: What? Huh? Oh...is that skeleton person going to be 7 or something?
SKULDUGGERY SEVEN WHAT I'M SORRY
Im not even sure flame... :D
Opinions? (I'm editing Chapter 1!)
I have always thought best in the shower, and now that my mind is clear I allow myself to think properly. Every day we must do mental exercises, one of mine is to not hide anything from myself in my memories. I must recite basic information in my mind every day:
My name is Luciana Scáth. I am twenty-seven years old, but look no older than an eighteen year old, thanks to my natural talent for Necromancy. I was orphaned at age nine, when my family died in a fire. Servus brought me to the manor and I’ve been training ever since. I am amongst the best of us, here at the manor. I have completed more missions than any other Skuttlebug here. Zacharia is my boyfriend and my love. I have lots of friends here. We are taking over Australia in four days.
I'd love to read a snippet.
Forced to brb again, soz. -_-
That's really good
I think I'm starting to ship Luciana and Zacharia...
BUT YEAH IT'S AMAZING!
What does ship mean?
I ship them.
That's why they're canon :P
LUCHARIA!
Aisling - Ship as in Relationship, when you want to characters to fall in luurve and etc.
Heyzz.
Wbd.
Leni the ninja aeroplane thanks for explaining that. :)
Hi Aisling. You new here?
It's Ieni, Aisling. :P
Hi mara
You said:
Every day we must do mental exercises, one of mine is to not hide anything from myself in my memories.
I think it would be better as:
Every day we must do mental exercises; one of mine is to not hide anything from myself in my memories.
. . .
See? I'm honest! See! See!!! SEEEEE!!!!!
Other than that, it's awesome, like all of your writing - even though you may not admit it. :) It's a good thing to add in. *nodsles*
Yep I'm new from Saturday or Sunday I can't remember which
*nods at Aisling* Hope you stick around! Not many minions manage to be regular for even one year . . .
If I'm still regular by 22nd January 2014, I am going to award myself something that money just cannot buy. *quote from Y7 Science teacher* :)
In other words, a feeling of satisfaction, which is what my Science teacher gave to the winner of the competition in our lesson.
I'M GOING TO STAY REGULAR. STARWY WANT A FEELING OF SATISFACTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNN. EVEN IF IT ONLY LASTS A FEW SECONDS. XD
I've been a regular since September 2011. Woohoo!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH that's longer than Inkyness. :P
Opinions so far, please? <3
I lie awake, eyes wide open staring at the ceiling, with sweat dripping off of my skin, despite me shivering. I open my mouth to scream, but I can't.
It's coming for me, I'm going to die. I need to get away. I can't stay here.
I try to move, but my body feels like lead. It's as though I'm in a state of paralysis. There's nothing I can do, I'm going to die. And it's going to be painful.
Tears begin to form in my eyes and I can’t stop them from falling, my breathing becomes strained and far quicker.
“You’re okay, Luce, focus on my voice, you’re okay!” I hear Zacharia say to me, holding my hand in between his two. I shake my head, but say nothing. Tears continue to spill from my eyes and I stifle a sob.
He lets go of my hand and I manage to bring both hands up to my face and cry into them. My knees come up, closer to my face and I rock back and forth.
Images of that thing appear in my mind, along with the torturous voice of its owner. I want to be away from them. They’re going to kill me. I’m going to die.
That's really good again.
I'll try to stay regular star.
Before January 22nd 2012, did you always feel there was something MISSING from the blog? That it was, um, LACKING something? Or . . . someONE? *smiles hopefully*
COME ON, YOU CAN'T HAVE FELT LIKE IT WAS UTTERLY COMPLETE AND PERFECT WHEN I WASN'T THERE! THAT'S PREPOSTEROUS! *shudders at the very thought*
THAT is an AMAZING piece of writing. *sulks because Scáth is so much better than me at writing and argh*
Poor Luciana. :(
@Aisling: :)
I was so confused when you said "Poor Luciana." *facepalm*
I suck at writing. :(
WTWBTDOCIHHATDWI was the best thing I've ever written, and that was just random insanityness trying to pretend it was some kind of story. *giggles*
Sorry. :)
Brb
Oh, and I actually FINISHED it, which goes a long way towards making it better. XD
I'm couldn't write for my life.
*nods* See you soon, Aisling! :)
I'm positive you can. :) :) :)
...I suck at writing...
Star, you comment too many times a minute...
Can I continue from that thing I wrote up there by saying:
A soft tune enters my ears; it's soft and familiar. The tears slowly cease to form, and I become calmer just from the sound of this tune.
Instead of rocking, I come to find myself swaying to the beat. Simple, but beautiful.
The fog in my mind clears and I look up at Zacharia, "It's okay," he tells me, wrapping his arms around me. "You're safe."
I realise that he's right, this tune and him together fill me with a feeling of safety, and I soon find myself to feel serene. My head is now resting on his chest, and I am curled up next to him.
My eyelids grow heavy again, and I soon find myself falling asleep, listening to his smooth voice singing along to the calming tune he plays on his phone.
FLAME YOU WRITE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME.
I wish I could write as well as some of you guys. My writing is sh*t. ._.
Ooh. Apparently I just won a 3000 dollar travel spree.
Shall I trust that I have, or shrug and close the window?
Hey. *frowns* On the page, it says You're Today's Winner in Hull!
On the tab menu thingy that appears when I hover my arrow over the Internet Explorer button, it says You May Be Today's Winner.
YEAH I THINK I MAY JUST CLOSE THE WINDOW.
Plus, why are they offering me dollars when they KNOW I live in Hull, England?
HELLO MY FELLOW FRIENDS OF FRIENDLYNESS
I knows, Flame. And I'm sort of multitasking as well. Okay, I'm looking at lyrics vids, but still. Oh yeah, and HI! Are you fee;ing better than before? :/
@Scáth: Yay, LucianaTC happy! :) Well, peaceful and serene, but meh, same thing. :)
Still awesomeness. :) BELIEVE ME OR I WILL BE FORCED TO SET MY BEASTLING WORD ON YOU.
ALMOST free? *narrows eyes suspiciously*

@Aisling: *blinks* Was ist das?
Conas
Sorry for some reason I needed to say something in irish.
This is a really weird game of hide and seek...
Ar not ad
Spell check does not agree with irish for some reason
I don't know Irish. Something to do with not being Irish. :P
Is it, fabi? Weirder than Ivy's? :)
I should probably tell yiz what I said there shouldn't I?
GUESS WHICH SONG JUST CAME ON :')
Pop quiz!
What was One Direction's first ever song? :)
I'd guess pop quiz from the way you just said that but I thought it was what makes you beautiful for some reason
What Makes You Beautiful?
On yay I'm not the only person who thinks its what makes you beautiful
*Fabi
English spellcheck . . .
I don't have computer autocorrect. I do, however, have my brain autocorrect, which make me type words like but instead of because and just instead of use . . . My brain just does it! I mean to write one word and I write another and don't notice!
Other comment - HEY I JUST WRITE COMMENT BY ACCIDENT 'STEAD OF COMMON, JUST POINTING IT OUT - other common spelling errors I make are swithcing lettesr roudn, and DOing THis instead of Doing This.
WMYB, coz it's the first on Up All Night. :)
I just came on to eat Star for missing out the 'r' in my name in the Acrosstick thingy, but unfortunately, I now have to go make myself smell apparently clean A.K.A shower.
*eats Star*
Byebye!
It was the song I was listening to, but it isn't their first song! Not to a Directioner anyway... ;)
Hint:
I'm all out of faith
And this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am changed,
Lying broken (naked(;) on the floor...
Bye Ieni! *hugs*
Hide and seeeeeeeek
Torn!
I don't know how Val plays hers, but in this one, Evan (2yo) tells someone (usually me) to hide behind the sofa.
Then he pretends not to know where I am. "Were dishy go?"
Then Grandma asks him "Is Ayo (he can't pronounce my name anywhere near right) in the kitchen?" and he says "Nooooo"
"Is she by the piano?"
"Nooooo"
"Did she go join the circus?"
"Noooo"
Evan climbs on the sofa peeks behind it and says "Dere she is!" and he grins and claps his hands.
Then somebody else goes around the kitchen to behind the sofa, and he says "Wada minute! Where dishy go?" and it starts over again.
-_- I WAS ALMOST ASLEEP IENS AKAY? XD
THOUGHT I SAW A GIRL
BROUGHT TO LIFE
SHE WAS WARM
SHE CAME AROUND
SHE WAS DIGNIFIED
SHOWED ME WHAT IT WAS TO CRY.... «3
Bye Ieni!
Bye leni
YES. YES LUCI :')
NOTHING'S FINE I'M TORNNNNNN!
It was the first ever song One Direction sang as a group :') Granded, it was a cover, but it was on the X Factor, Judges Houses :)
*laughs* AH, THAT'S WEIRDER THAN IVY'S.
She was saying my this morning/her last night that she was in the dark outside at eleven pm wearing all black playing nighttime hide-and-seek.
Illusions never changed into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,
You're a little late,
But I'm already torrrrn....
Actually going now...
I'M IENS NOW? Ah, that is acceptable, seeing as you've been struggling through torturas school all day...
Right, I really need to go...
BUT BLOGLAND IS SO AMAZING I CAN'T LEAVE IT D:
Gahhhhhh....
BYE! (again)
Oh yeah Conas a caoimhnaíonn tú ar na hainmneacha sin ar fad Means how do you remember all those names
FANGIRL MODE.
My mother said my face just lit up when Gotta Be You came on shuffle... *le facepalm*
I didn't think it was noticable...
CHAR. I'M SO BAD AT THISNESS.
Disturbed have a song called Torn.
And now I am torn!
Thought it was over this time and we know
There's still a fire inside and we know
And we know
We're gonna let it burn
Till the image fades away!
There's nothing left
I used to cry
Inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm tornnnn...
Moments came on...
Flashing lights in my mind
Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet
There's a numb in my toes
Standing close to the edge
There's a pile of my clothes
At the end of your bed
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all...

I heard my name.....so I'm here!
Once again, I find myself to be drenched in sweat and covered in cuts and scratches. I can feel something dripping down my forehead, so I bring my forefingers to touch it. Without even looking, I know it’s blood. I do not, however, know if the blood is mine or another’s.
As I rise to my feet, pain begins to radiate through my torso. I keel over, clutching my stomach and I can feel blood spilling out. Tears begin to form in my eyes, blurring my view. A spell of dizziness casts itself over me and I can barely make out a figure running towards me before I lose consciousness.
Time to wake, Luciana, your friends need you. Can’t you hear them screaming for help? A twisted, almost tortured, voice whispering in my ear says. My eyes open slowly and I blink a couple of times as I adjust to the brightness of my surroundings.
I drag myself to my feet easier than I had expected and glance around my surroundings. There are trees, lots of trees.
“This isn’t where I was, earlier…” I mutter.
Luciana, they need you. That voice again, but followed by a familiar voice – ‘Luci!’
I shake my head, no. No, of course I’m hearing things, I tell myself. My friends are safe. They’re alive. Everything is okay.
Better start running, Scáth… A cold laugh fills my mind and, without thinking, I begin to run. I pick up speed quickly, bobbing underneath low branches of trees, jumping over tree roots and weaving through the close trees. I get a few cuts along the way, but I can’t seem to stop running.
You’re going to have to move faster than that if you want to get away from my pets! I still don’t understand why I’m running, but the fact that he said pets gives me the energy to run even further. “Must keep moving,” I repeat to myself under my breath. My muscles are screaming at me, sweat drips down my brow and my arms and legs are bright red from cuts and grazes from the plants I hadn’t managed to avoid.
I’m still running, through a clearing in the trees, a large oak tree stands to the left and a pool of water to the right. I glance behind me and see emerald green eyes staring at me. The eyes make me want to stop and stare, hauntingly beautiful eyes, like I’ve never seen before.
Run, Lucy, run! The voice laughs, but I obey. Somehow I choose to follow the path to the pool of water, the ground is tough and I stumble often. Only a couple more metres now, but the pool is lower down than I thought. Another glance behind me tells me I won’t make escape unless I jump. I run a little further before leaping into the pool, the cold water numbing all pain I felt and my mind.
I wake with a start. This time, I’m in a room, with a rainbow painted on the ceiling. Rainbows always lift my mood, I don’t really know why, though.
Iens wasn't a typo, it was me being Star. :P
*nods at Zaffles in a way that means "I am a badass, and I recognise that you, too, are a badass"*

Well I wasn't sure my weekend and day has sucked so I could have been coming off wrong. I had a shot AND went to the orthodontist today.
HI KILANDRA! WB MELICA!
Owwwwwwww my hand is giving me hell . . . *twists in about, frowing*
And the girl who sits next to me in Maths wondered why I was so terrified of her pretending to inject my veins with her pencil. I was actually terrified. Wouldn't elet her come anywhere near my veins with that thing. Got real nervous when she did it to herself.
To be pretend-injected is scarier than being injected. :(
