Temporary Silence

Look at this... don't even have the time to do a proper blog post...

LSODM is over 133,000 words right now and I promised my editor I'd have a reasonably finished first draft to him by the end of the week. That means no Twitter and no blogging, and very little internet presence at all. Even a half hour of writing a blog is a half hour of NOT writing the book, and I can't afford to do that right now. When the book is done, when it's finally done, business as usual will be resumed. Until then, this temporary silence continues.

And here's a fantastic picture for nerds.

If that doesn't work, try singing. Sometimes the breath control helps with hiccups.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

It's ok, pirates rant a lot. Usually about the sea, though.

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

It's just, War promised me he'd be my partner and then I ask him what we're going to do for our science prac and he says, almost surprised - AS IF HE DIDN'T KNOW - "Oh... I'm going with these two! They have an awesome prac idea!"
And I reply with, "But... You promised..."
"No I didn't."
*Thinks about last week when he promised* "Yes... You did... We were in the Maths Rooms... You... Nevermind." And then I spin and walk away.

Seriously... I am beyond angry at him... I can't let him see though because that would be ever so slightly inconvenient and he'd also start laughing...

Jophiel said...

I've got to go home now... Away from school... Away from broken promises... Away from WarZone...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Winces] Ouch.

I'm sorry...

*Hums Jersey* *Draws symbols on arms*

Snow said...

It was a cold, wet night and cars splashed water up as they drove through the dark streets. Most of this water, it seemed, ended up on Steven as he plodded on home. Steven stumbled as he was splashed again, ending up on the ground.
Muttering under his breath, he got up. As he was shaking himself off, he saw a warm-looking house, welcoming him with open arms.
He scurried p the front steps and nocked.
No one answered.
He nocked again.
Again, no one answered.
Disappointed, Steven turned away.
The door creaked open.
Steven turned and sidled in, glancing about as he went.

That night, a scream rang through the town.
Steven was never seen again.


ello and what do you think of the start of my murder mystery??

Jophiel said...

Scary...

Snow said...

Ulcabhán Brave said...

Well I dont think so. Have a cookie *Hands Eld a cookie*

Imma give you a profile of me.

My taken name is Ulcabhán Brave and I'm 11. I am a necromancer. I left the temple. Blah.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I'm good Taia! Which do you think is a better name??

Alice or Clara?

(I'm making an OC)

#ChaseForBook9

Ulcabhán Brave said...

My name is pronounce Ulc- a - von.

Mary Contrary said...

Hm. I think they're both fine names, actually - I suppose it depends on the character, to some extent.

I don't know if this helps, but Alice, the name alone, makes me think Cheshire Cat and the Hatter and all those odd Wonderlandish things, plus blue/yellow, whereas with Clara, I think... Ponies. *frowns* Ponies and... Matt Smith.
*tries not to laugh*

But, I guess, being set to a character, those first couple of things which come to mind would be less strong, if present at all. I don't really known if that helps, to be honest. :P
You could look at the meaning of the names, I suppose?

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Thanks Taia! I'll look at the name meanings and see what I choose. Thanks!

#ChaseForBook9

Guys i gtg byye

Mary Contrary said...

Hi Brave! :)

Aw, bye Rhydian! Bye Brave! *waves to both*

Hm. Sometimes it's nice to be able to pinpoint some of the exact things that I like about a song.
Like, in Pavement's 'We Dance', aside from my Maralie-association, the placement of syllables in Malkmus' vocals:
" 'Cause-I. Don't. Have. A. Clu~ue.


Any-more. "

I don't know how it's done, but it's kind of mesmerising.

*laughs* I think I'm just talking to myself, here. :P

#ChaseForBook9

Ulcabhán Brave said...

where IS everyone.

Mary Contrary said...

... I also like the slight catch in the back of his voice - I don't know why.in Cut Your Hair, I think one of my favourite lines is "each and every day" purely because of the way it sounds - there's a catch in "each", where it kind of scrapes, but not in a bad way. I don't know. It's kind of there in the back of the vocals somewhere in We Dance, too. Maybe.
I think I just need something to type about. :P

Oh, hi again Brave! :)
I don't know. School? Holiday?
Not sure.

#ChaseForBook9

Ulcabhán Brave said...

I Would love to be in LSODM some of ye are so lucky.

Ulcabhán Brave said...

Good point taia.


IF ANYONE HAS A TWITTER ACCOUNT FOLLOW ME I WILL FOLLOW YOU BACK @UlcieBrave.

Ulcabhán Brave said...

Ok gtg be backk soon.

Mary Contrary said...

Brave, I would, but I have a rule about my Twitter following, which is that I only let myself follow so many people, because I don't like my dash/feed/whatever to fill up. So, consequently, I don't follow any Bloglanders. :P
If that ever changes, somehow, then I will, but until then - sorry! I can still /see/ your tweets. And retweet and favourite and whatnot, though. :3

Dragona Pine said...

What do everyone's character have as a magical power?

Jophiel said...

I can manipulate gravity and kill people by glaring... Or, Death can and I amplify her powers.

Dragona Pine said...

The name death is suitable then.

Noelle said...

*sits next to a grave, which reads: Adrian Murdaugh on the side*
*sits in front of it, carefully touching the stone, before leaning her head against the rock* I'm sorry...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Im a Necromacer but I can do other things due to Justaria

Javier can cause you to be in your worst nightmare all 5 senses involved making you soon committ suicide

Alexis is an Elemental now but training to be a Sensitvie

Jophiel said...

I know... She loves death... Or at least she did...

Jophiel said...

Dragona Pine said...

Dragona is an elemental. One of the strongest.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Mevolent would be stronger

Dragona Pine said...

I should go now. Bye!

As long as there are sufficient measures of control over it, I don't see why it should be a problem.
But you've heard the rumors coming from Ireland.

You know you don't have to tell him anything. I could tear him a new face if you want?

Noelle said...
