You may have noticed me being pretty quiet over the last week or so, and for this I have a very good reason. I am writing a book. I'm over 115,000 words in but DEAR LORD I'm at that stage when I don't know if it'll EVER be finished. I'm supposed to be filling in the blanks right now- linking up scenes and sequences and getting the chapters in order and writing any little bits that I've left empty. But I'm still no closer to the end. How can this BE?
But before I get back to work, I have been asked to remind you all that my event at the Stratford Picture House on April 5th is the only public event I'll be doing for The Maleficent Seven. For those of you who don't know what a public event IS, it's basically me on stage yapping and answering questions for an hour, and then we go on to have a signing. All other appearances for TMS are just signings.
I've been asked to remind you about this because apparently there are lots of tickets available. Well, I'm ASSUMING there are lots of tickets available. The words used were "it's been slow to book", which means roughly the same thing. Maybe it's because it's the Easter holidays or it's the start of a weekend, but usually events pretty much sell out in a very short space of time. So Harper Collins publicity people are all going "uhhh... what's happening?"
Oh, and for those of you who have already booked tickets, don't you fret. If it IS a smaller crowd than usual, it just means the event will be more of a casual chat between all of us. And also you won't have to wait in line for hours.
But, uh, for all you others... book a ticket. Or something.
I'm getting back to work now. But before I do, two pictures of cats.
One cute.
One scary.

Byebye, Ruá! Hi, Brave!
Bye Ruá!
Hello everyone else~
Sorry for vanishing~
Gotta go, actually...
Bye!
Hello everyone.
Hello! Derek's just dropped us off back at our hotel... I gave him the note with your stuff on it :D
(I apologise that it was partially ripped, but that was because I looked out the window and saw Derek's car pull up as I was tearing it out, so...)
OMG it's less than 2 mins away
OJKOHLDU IORHCYNU SNGHMXYUH
Derek is the person who writes all those books you guys love, right?
Yeah. Derek Landy.
What countdown are you talking about?
Oh second thought, I'm not just going to give you the option of ignoring the rant, I'm going to MAKE you ignore the rant.
So, yeah, hi.
Val, how was meeting Derek again?
Never mind, I can stay.
Tyler got a new phone.
A really expensive one, too. And I can't even have a new bookcase...
It's incredibly annoying, *sighs*
Fabi, it was so awesome I can't really explain it. He thought it was hilarious whenever I tripped on things, and I made about a bazillion Skulduggery references, and he showed us places that things happened in the in the book (we walked right past Shenanigans), and we went out to lunch and his house... It was so much fun.
I woke up late this morning, and my cousins were gone!! D: I knew they were leaving, but I didn't know they would go that early... I didn't get to say goodbye...
OHMYGOSH YOU GOT TO MEET DEREK. YOU ATE LUNCH WITH DEREK. YOU WENT TO HIS HOUSE. HOW?!?!
OMG, the countdown is done and........it's real.....
Hi Lucy.
[hugs]
Hi Val. [Laughs] Sounds so awesome.
The countdown for what?
He came and picked us up from our hotel. IT WAS SO COOL.
I got to see where Val jumped from the Infected, and where Bliss shoved Skulduggery off a cliff, and we were right next to Shenanigans, I saw where Serpin killed the Elders, I know where the REAL Haggard is (with a different name, obviously)... IT WAS AWESOME.
His car was trying to kill me, though. I tripped every time I tried to get in or out.
C. O. O. L.
Ohmygosh, Val, that's so cool!!!!!!
It was funny whenever he tried to call me by my name, though. He went from Val to Ivy to Bella and back through with them. I go by too many things...
How do you know him?
What
When did I get a new phone???
The countdown on youtube
How do I know Derek?
He called you Val sometimes, though. That sounds good for your chances of playing Valkyrie in the SP movie. :-)
AND I mentioned that I like acting...
*evil villain laugh* My scheme is unfolding!
Yeah- how on Earth did you get to know Derek Landy so well?!
[laughs]
I don't know, actually. I had the birthday parties for him, and he thought they were cool, and then I told him I was going to Ireland, and he said, yeah, we could meet up, but it wasn't super serious or anything. And then he started coming on the Blog a bit more often, so I could talk to him on there, and I talked to him on Twitter, and when I mentioned meeting him again he said yes. I met him at the signing before hand, and we set this up on Saturday. And then we decided to hang out today.
Oh wow, that's so cool!!! I wish I could get to know Derek like that...
By the way, he has the biggest freaking TV of all time. It's like a projector, and it comes out of the ceiling. IT TAKES UP ALMOST AN ENTIRE WALL. He showed us a fight scene from that movie Sucker Punch, turned the volume up all the way, and he actually had to scream it for us to hear him say, "ISN'T THIS AWESOME?!"
*laughs* Of course he does!! Wow, that's so great! ...I just don't know what else to say!
Sorry I poofed for a bit! I had...stuff, ugh.
Anyway, I'm back now.
Val, that is just |-|||=_|===_||-|==||== COOL!
Hi.
WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT MY "COME TO CONNAGHT" SUGGESTION
Hi Brave.
Hey Brave!
I have to go now- see you later, everyone!
Lol
Val! What did he say to my "COME TO CONNAGHT" thingy?
oooh you didnt read it to him you GAVE it to him
Bye Ari...
Msd.
I don't know, Brave. I handed the note to him and he didn't have time to read it while we were there.
I showed him a picture of Gilbert XD
Val you are so lucky. Pity that can never happen to me
[Laughs] What did he say about Gilbert?
He stared at the photo and went, "Oh my God." He looked creeped out.
He looked at me like I was crazy when I recited an entire page in twenty seconds total...
Hello I am back home again.
Val you are so lucky and I am so jealous of you.
"he looked at me like I was crazy..."
Val, you are crazy. That is meant, of course, in the best way possible, the awesome way.
Hi Aisling!
I'm disappearing soon, just a warning, so if I don't respond to something, it's not because I'm trying to be rude and offend people.
Yes, I definitely am crazy. I ran around his epic TV room and made an elephant noise... The look on his face showed that it was hilarious.
Lookie, I have a photo!
https://twitter.com/Valkyrie_V/status/318768707675492352/photo/1
Val, that is just,
SO COOL
I cannot even begin
WOW
you're so incredibly awesome
you went
INCREDIBLE
Wow where was that?
I think it was at a restaurant called Blue Bar or something... It's right next to Shenanigans.
Oh, and we got to see the railing Valkyrie got thrown over during the Remnant scene!
Ahhhhh
Val the more you say about your day the more jealous I get.
What else did you do?
I'm gonna say it one more time. Val, that is so coolawesomewowyouresolucky.
And now I must vanish.
Bye!
Dammit, I can't follow the link from my kindle.
THE COMPUTER SHALL BE TAKEN!
And the washing up shall err be ignored.
Wow, I'm still in awe of the sheer epicness.
I met his dog Sherlock. We also got to see the covers of Skulduggery books in some other countries, and they were so bad it was hilarious. Um... We got to ride in his car every where and talk and stuffs...
Bye Fabi!
If the link doesn't work, you could just go on Twitter and search @Valkyrie_V... I posted it on my thingy.
Byebye, Fabi! *hugs*
I was going to say something else about something, but I err forgot..
Bye Fabi
I just figured out how to stay in caps on my iPod without keeping my finger on the shift button.
Baaack :] hi guys!
I think I'm going to be in an episode of Love/ Hate... :/
Hi, Ruá! You haven't happened to have written any more of that thing...?
No not yet lenI! I will now though :D I never thought you'd all like it this much, I love you guys so much x3
Hi Ruá
It is brilliant Ruá how could we not like it?
Awh thank you!! <3
Ok, I'll be distant, I'll write it now then x3
I ded to Ruá's SP/HG fanfic and any other fabrics that any bloglandians are writing.
I ded to Derek Landy and Skulduggery Pleasant.
I ded to every Bloglandian.
And I ded to everyone that hasn't met Derek getting to meet him. And the ones that have met him that they get to meet him again.
*fanfics
Awh thanks Aisling <3
And then there's people like me who will almost certainly never get to meet him, because of parents.
What I meant by that was everyone who hasn't met him that they will someday get to meet him.
Nice ded, Aisling. :-)
Sorry...I didn't mean...
It was an awesome ded anyway, Aisling:)
Aisling is so nice xD Hey Fabi :3
What's tomorrow, leni?
[hugs Ieni]
I'm never going to meet Derek, either. :-( If he were doing a signing at the library near me, mom might take me, but only because we know most of the librarians personally and Sara, who would be the one organizing any signings for kid/teen authors, would probably agree to 'keep an eye on me' or something and I would probably have to agree to do something like clean my room. As it is, though, unless he visits America and goes to the Sammamish library specifically, I'll most likely never meet him.
Fabi, next time I meet him I'll get a recording for you and leni, like Luce got! :)
Wbd
Ruá your really talented.
I'm no good at writing storys. I just read.
Thank you Brave :D This is the first fanfic i've writen in YEARS.
I hope theres a signing in Connaght. Otherwise Ill never meet him.
If there was one then who here would go?
I bet i'd get to talk to him for a good while if he came to connaght. I doubt that many people in connaght read SP and if so there is non on this blog.
I would :)
I'm so tiered
Really Ruá! Omg. Lol. are you anywhere near Connaght?
Really you think I'm nice Ruá? Thank you :)
My cousin told me that Derek went to her school but that barely any of them had actually read Skulduggery. When she said this I was thinking that that wasn't fair. They get to meet Derek and loads of Bloglandians who LOVE SP might never get to meet him.
Who deleated the comment? I didn't read it.
[hugs Ruá]
You rock, has anyone ever told you that? It's ok, though. I really couldn't ask you to that.
I blog-met him once, back in December. :-) [remembers and laughs]
Who here is on Twitter
It's the one I just re-said. [points] Only there was a bad and confusing typo.
I am not telling you the typo. I deleted it and redid it for a reason.
I won't be on for Four days
I'm not Brave
And I wouldn't be able to go to a signing in Connacht because I live in Dublin and it would be a ver long drive.
I am on Twitter if it is working...
[checks]
It isn't, sorry.
*it being the mobile twitter and/or my iPod.
I live in Dublin but I love to travel!
Chapter 3 is almost finished!
And Fabi, I defiantly will get a video :) he said he has another event in Dublin coming up soon enough, so I'll get one their :)
I'm on twitter, @RuaBlack
I'm really distant.
[hugs Ruá again]
Yay hugs *hugshugshugs*
Chapter 3 is up if anyone wants to read it :)
*hugs Fabi back*
The annoying thing with me, is that he does signings in MK, which is 20-30 minutes away from me.
My parents won't even let me OWN the books.
Apparently, it will take up space in my room.
WE CAN BE LARRIES TOGETHER! *laughs*
Me go read Chapter 3 now...
OMFG OMFG
AHHHH
*claps hands*
THAT WAS AWESOME!
I want more, more! *laughs*
Is that a hint of Valduggery I sniff?
Maybe a little hint! But I'm trying to keep it low-key because I know not a lot of people like Valduggery....
*cough* I ship valduggery *cough*
I MIGHT BE ALOUD TO GO TO THE NEXT SP SIGNING!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Amazing Ruá. I commented on the 2nd chapter but I'm not commenting on any other ones because it keeps making my iPod freeze.
