And the title of Book Eight IS...
Actually hold on, we'll get to that in a moment. I have another 15 minutes before I have to post this entry, at 9 PM, and I'm going to use that 15 minutes, dammit. Because I did things today! Things that deserve to be blogged about!
Well, I did ONE thing that deserves to be blogged about. This afternoon I interviewed Steven Moffat, head of all things Doctor Who and Sherlock, on stage at Trinity College, Dublin. I'm pretty sure it wasn't recorded, though, so you're just going to have to take my word for how brilliantly it went. I've never interviewed anyone before— I'm used to being the one interviewed— so it was very interesting to sit in the other chair for a change.
Mr Moffat turned out to be everything I'd hoped he would be— he's a nice guy and he's FUNNY. It was such an informal, casual conversation that it made asking him questions a breeze. I love the shows he makes, as did everyone there, and it was so cool to be able to talk to him about them and not feel like a total nerd.
And for those of you who are wondering, yes, I DID ask him for Karen Gillan's phone number. NO, he did not give it to me. But I think I broke him down sufficiently that all it'll take is one more chance encounter, and then wa-heyyyyy!
Ahem.
Okay, I now have seven minutes until I have to post this entry.
Oh, I'll be doing two publicity events in Ireland on March the 7th. At 10:30 AM in the Riverbank Theatre in Kildare I'll be interviewing (because I do it SO well) Alex Barclay on stage about her new book Curse of Kings.
Later that day, back in Easons in O'Connell Street at 6 PM, Alex and I will be doing... er... some sort of event. We haven't a clue WHAT we'll be doing, to be honest, but it'll be brilliant, and it'll be funny. I swear. Probably.
At both events, we'll be signing whatever you want signed.
Two minutes!
Okay then, here we go. This title has been in my head for years. EVERYTHING in the series has been leading up to Books Eight and Nine, and this is really where it all starts to build to the (hopefully epic) conclusion.
Prepare yourself for horror! Tragedy! Hilarity! Fights! Blood! Quips! Magic! Everything that makes life worth living!
Ladies and gentlemen, coming at the very end of August, I give you
Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men.

Hi Mistical!
5:44 here. We already had dinner though.
Distant, writing!
^^^I mean, morning, not night. *is in the same time zone as Mara*
Morning, then. Fours . . .
Night Star!
Night, Star!
I'm writing my next MC chapter. Or part two of my current one, anyway.
Morning, Star!
*Glares at Mara*
*Points to a bed*
SLEEP NOW!
*yawns again*
I'm gonna hit the hay too, guys. Ni-I mean, morning! :P *hugs* *disappears*
Oooo cool I can't wait to read it!
*tackles Misty*
MARA REBEL! :P MARA STAY UP LO-
*falls asleep*
Ni---morning, Mara!
I had it done, but it was eaten by evil goblins. :-(
So I'm a third of the way through part two and halfway through part three. [laughs] It's coming out different this time. Weird.
*nods in approval*
good Mara
And night or day!
*get's Mara and puts her on the bed*
wbd assignments
Distant as well. [Nods]
YAY NEW PICTURE!
ha it looks cool! :D
Yeah, it is a cool picture.
:D
I like your picture also! is it a monkey or a cat? ... or have a guessed completely wrong?
My little sister made it, so it's a very athletic cat-martian like her. Close, though! XD
Ah ok! I though it was a monkey because of the long arms
But It's really cool! I though it was from a picture book!
And yes that is a complement because if it's in a picture book than it's got to be VERY good, but still look like it's childish! and she did that perfectly!
I tip my invisible, not real hat to your sister!
brb
I will be telling her you said that 'soon as she gets home. She'll appreciate it. The bit about it being really cool and childish I mean. She likes being childish, so it's a super-compliment to her.
Okay, I will tell her you said that too.
See you in a bit!
And I must leave now! Au revoir!
Hello?
Any one?
Come on!
*sighs*
Guess ill go now

woot, another one to join the chocolate club!...I love the night
omg, really? :DD
YEAH!!! *nods*
omg yay!! following nyone yet?
yeah. It's really just the bloglandians and Derek though :P
I think I'm mostly following Derek, and the rest are not bloglandians, I'd follow them, but I feel weird doing so
:/ my parents wont let me get anything ... they don't know I have a blog ... but they do know I have Skype. and that's all I have but it doesn't stop me checking Derek's twitter! :P
my parents kinda don't really know that I have a twitter... it's extremely unlikely that they'll find out anyways because I don't use my real name...
UUGGHHH guilt is mean...
I don't have Twitter, I just read Derek's tweets.
I CAN GET TWITTER TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, WHEN I TURN 13. :3
Nice guys lol, I would always do that also
yeah guilt is, but you get over it after a while
whens your birthday??
(not to sound like a creepy stalker man or anything xD)
my god ur only 12?...great now I really feel like a pedo, now it makes me fel like I should wait a couple years b4 I talk to you guys since im 19
well if you wait a couple years you'll only get older xP
My birthday? 14th of October. :3
Don't worry Willow. And yes, I'm 12.
ya, but so will you..I mean c'mon wouldn't you feel like a pedo also?
I'm 16 so your not that far from me.
But you can get twitter! O_O god this proves how weird my parents are!!! even my 13 year old cousin has Facebook but i'm not allowed AMYTHING!!!! AH
... sorry random tantrum thing
.... if I was on a website that had only a bunch of 8 year olds on it... I would ffeel like a babysitter
xD
Well I don't feel like a babysitter lol, but you're not 19 yet so ya, you're all minors to me
That's kinda funny Mist :P
LOL good one Jubi!
I think around a third of year 7 (my grade) has Facebook and THEY'RE ONLY 12.
I mean, can't they just wait?!
omg I love her voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cLoNVyhaQ4
and apparntly they can't
I really don't WANT a facebook....
it comes in handy for certain things
Same, Jubi.
Facebook is something I don't really want, but I'd like Twitter and Tumblr. That's it, really.
Tumblr seems kinda pointless
i dont really understand tumblr....
me neither!..I thought i was the onlyone who didn't understand it
haha :P
all I know is that its a place where people put up pictures and gifs...
O_O AHHHHHHHH
... ok it's not that I want facebook and seriously I don't mind that because some people put up stupid stuff on it then it affects there job in the future. But I asked for a blog when I was what 14 and they said no but most ... I mean EVERYONE else had facebook! WTF
I waited about a month the got it anyway but still me parents are WEIRD!!!
I don't think I understand Tumblr either. XD
But maybe if I get Tumblr, I could then learn. :D
Nice Miss Cain :P
I created a Tumblr and I didn't get it
:D ha maybe you could but I think tumblr is for weird, random and funny stuff!
i love star trek xD
random statement :P
I never got into star trek :p
have to guys, so ttyl! *hugs everyone*
I love this:

I'm considering changing my profile pic again... The cat-martian was sort of just the random pic I grabbed in a hurry... I may not have told my sister I would be using her artwork. [Considers] I don't think she'd mind, and she did give it to me as a birthday present, but I still should have asked...
Distant, looking to see what else I might be changing my pic to.
your welcome Miss C!
Faeris just got a phone call! Even I wasn't expecting this! Never mind about the pic, I'll ask her in the morning and if she says no I'll quietly change it. [Goes off to make Faeris answer her phone]
I wonder who this Tony person is...
*looks for something to do other than Geography*
...
*tumble weed blows by*
...
*Chases after tumble weed*
HEY GET BACK HERE!!!
*grabs tumble weed, it disintegrates upon touch*
... dam *shrugs* oh well
Brb, gonna take some medicine...
We don't have tumbleweed here.
Ok Miss, hope it gets better soon!
Back.
Wb!
Msd, midnight!
Of coerce there's no tumble weeds the last one disintegrated!
... if it's midnight then shouldn't you got to sleep?
I don't remember having ever seen a tumbleweed in person... I probably did when I was little and we still traveled a lot, but out of the little l remember, well, I don't remember any tumbleweeds. Huh.
I went to bed after midnight last night/this morning. :)
Yeah, I am soon. I have to finish Faeris's phone call. It's a bit...shocking.
1D came on the radio. One Thing, in case anyone's wondering. Thinking of you, Mara!
