Back in Circulation

Ah, time off... how I love you so... At least, I love the IDEA of you. I love the MENTION of you, the PROMISE of you. But I never quite GET you, do I?

Such is the reality of life as a writer— there IS no time off.

Other people leave the office and go off on holidays, but that's not the case with writers. Oh sure, we can easily walk away from the writing desk, but it's not so easy to flick the switch in our heads that makes us stop thinking of the next thing to write. We're stuck in that headspace. A writer's brain will continue to churn, even when we want to think about other things. It's not a BAD problem to have. It's not as bad as, say, being born without a head or waking up one morning to find your house is made of cheese. But it can get annoying. It means that you can never really relax...

I've had a few days off ever since sending in my first draft of LSODM. The last time I spoke with Nick, my editor, he was halfway through and loving it. Apparently. So that's good. I think. I'm not sure what my feelings are towards this new book. At the moment I'm too close to it, I don't know if it's good or great (or, yikes, bad) so I'm at that stage where uncertainty is tainting everything and I'm just waiting for Nick to finish the whole thing and say "Yeaahhhhh it's... fine... BUT..."

So yes, I've had a few days off since then. Two of which were taken up with meetings. But from Thursday on, I haven't even had to answer the phone. So what have I been doing?

Planning.

I have two short stories to write for various things. I want to do a lot more for the Skulduggery short story collection coming out next year. I need to start thinking of Skulduggery Book Nine. And I have to get a handle of what I'm going to write AFTER. What book is going to coming out in 2015? What will the next series be?

So that's what I've been doing over the weekend.

But now that I have the first draft handed in, hopefully I'll be able to get back to posting here on a weekly basis, and being a bit more present on Twitter, and generally getting things back to normal. You've all been very patient while I've had my head down, and I appreciate it. As a reward, here's a thing.

Here's a recommendation. If your ever lying in bed with your IPod, phone etc NEVER drop it so that it hits off your lip. It's VERY VERY VERY painful. Very.

Snow said...

Okay, Derek, if you ever read this far in, I have an idea for your next series: what fletcher does while he is living in a us. Plz, plz, pLZ!! It would not only be epic, but it would be a little bit of joy for us assie fans

Snow said...

Aus, when fletcher is living in AUS

Snow said...

Hello? Anyone on?

Maegan Harty said...

Snow said...

HI!!!!!!

Maegan Harty said...

Snow said...

And my brain just won't switch off... I am always thinking of either parody lyrics or story ideas

I solo know what Derek is talking about

Snow said...

*sooooo , I sooo know what Derek is talking about

Snow said...

I hate auto correct

Maegan Harty said...

Would he be thinking about
1. Maybe he might add ten more books to the series
2. What he is having for breakfast
3. Which cat is which

Snow said...

Anyway, what's up??

Snow said...

Ahm... I mean, when he says a writes brain never switches off

Maegan Harty said...

Jophiel said...

I survived the bush. I also died. Bye.

Jophiel said...

Now, I'm probably just jumping to conclusions (like always) but I think I might have parasites. We had to boil our water if we wanted to drink/live so we boiled water for five minutes and Mr Mac said if we felt sick, we probably have some sort of evil organism that will eat us like little kids withlollies on Halloween... I am feeling sick and I am the furthest thing from a lolly in the world. I AM AN EVIL LOLLY! EVIL, SILLY, DIRTY AND STINKY LOLLY! I'M A DURIAN LOLLY!
*Shudders*
We have had durian lollies in Indonesian. I almost threw up. They are that evil. They taste like evil vomit that has been sitting in the sun with dirty socks soaking in the same bag and the socks were mouldy and icky and then someone got all the ickiest part into a lolly. Blugh..
Anyway.. In the world of food, i'm a durian lolly and no parasites should eat me. Parasites should eat someone else. Take... Gianni for example. Please parasites, eat him...

SPOILER ALERT!!!!
In The Faceless Ones, some of the faceless ones come back. They all try and kill them but for the last one they had to force it back into the portal. Just when the portal is about to close and the Faceless One is inside, it reaches out with it's organ-tentacle thing and dragged Skulduggery in with him. Skulduggery is then trapped with the Faceless Ones.

If you haven't read the third SP book I am genuinely sorry.

I hate being ill ._.

But I like writing. So I spent today sleeping and writing c:

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hi everyone! *looks around* No one here? Bye I suppose...

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

Anyone here?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I'm back...Hi Cas!

Star Inkbright said...

HELLO.

I experimented with salami, crisps (Walkers Pawn Cocktail) and bread (Hovis Best of Both) and discovered that the best way to eat salami was with bread, the best way to eat crisps was with bread, the best way to eat bread was with salami, and that crisps, salami AND bread is badder than a good idea because it kills the taste of both the salami and the crisps. And probably the bread, but that's tasteless anyway.

The best way to eat Tiger bread is with nothing else. If you eat it with anything it destroys the glorious taste of the Tiger bread.
This is also true for the long thin bread originating in France.
Those are my favourite breads, and my favourite foods. :)

SO YEAH.

Star Inkbright said...

Plus my friend asked me if I was okay t9oday and said she felt really guilty because I'd been crying yesterday, so I did what I'd been attempting since yesterday and activated the part fo my brain that gives utter forgiveness. :)

I feel better now I've managed to forgive her.

I don't like feeling angry at people.

It's all bad emotion. It's like a combination of sad and annoyed.

Unless you're properly angry.

But I wasn't.

So anyway.

Star Inkbright said...

And I have no idea why you needed to know that, but wasikazistika. :)

Star Inkbright said...

And furthermore, you cannot have one layer of salami and two layers of bread. Kills the salami taste. YOu need to have equal layers. :)

So two slices of salami in a sandwich, and one piece of salami ON bread. *nods*

Star Inkbright said...

You would possibly need more salami if you had proper bread, as it is thicker and has tough crusts - more breadiness.

Oh, hi!
Msd.

Star Inkbright said...

HI IENI!!! :)

Star Inkbright said...

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Sorry for distance, writing. I WANT SKITTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Staaaaaaaaar!!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs* :)
I didn't know people have salami in sandwhichs. Oh, I suppose they would...
And I got my results from my English and maths tests! I'm quite happy with them:)

Star Inkbright said...

SKITTLES BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!! :)

Alomst half the world seems mad about them. *giggles*

Not exaggerating, btw. If I were, I would have said the entire world. *nods*

Star Inkbright said...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)

Salami sandwiches be awesome! :O

I'll admit, I had my first salami sandwich that I can remember today, but I've obviously had it on bread. :)

We had bread always for lunch on weekends, so. *shrugs*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

SKITTLES!!!!!! I think I've gone mad...Hi Leni! Hi Star!

Star Inkbright said...

I am immune to going mad. *nods*

I CANNOT GO MAD, BECAUSE I ALREADY BE MAD! :)

Welcome to the family. *hands membership badge, which has a picture of bubbles eating Cecily on it*

Star Inkbright said...

BUBBLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. :)

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

:( EVIL PARTIES!

My sister and my sister's friend have their birthdays within one day of each other, and they always have to organise to stop clashingness . . .

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Oh, God, I just realised how showy-offy that sounded. Sorry D:

I do actually have to go find my mum now, I was just messaging my brother.

Again, sorry:/

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I don't think it sounded showy offy.

Star Inkbright said...

I knew have to draw Bella, some wolves, a unicorn, Liam Payne, my friend, and Louis Tomlinson.

DAMMIT.

Star Inkbright said...

No, ****. Bella, some wolves, a unicorn, 1D, Bella again, Liam Payne, my friend, and Louis Tomlinson.

And my friend who dreams the future dreamt last night that she forgot her Art book and got a detention. :)

*sits on pebble waiting to see if it or part of it comes true*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I hate drawing.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Your friend can see the future in her dreams? Is she a Sensitive?

Mischief Shadow said...

hello all
lewis do not hate drawing drawing is epic

thats all bye

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hi Mischief! Bye Mischief!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Staaar...can I put in a request for drawing?
You don't have to do it properly or anything, but...
Will you draw a ninja aeroplane? Or me as a ninja aeroplane. I don't mind:)

Star Inkbright said...

Maybe. :P

She's never read SP, though.

She can just dream the future.

God, it's so freaky.

Once in one week, she dreamt there was a fire alarm, then the day after there was, and she dreamt someone we knew would go to hosital, and this girl we knew did, and she dreamt this SPECIFIC girl would be ill, and she was. And she said before that (days) she'd dreamt that her friend wouldn't go to craft club and she didn't. but I never saw proof of that. :)

SERIOUSLY. She's tell us what she had dreamt would happen and then it would happen and like O_O

It's mostly died down now. :(

IN REAL LIFE, this is.

Star Inkbright said...

@Ieni: Sure! :) *adds it on end of list* There will be a long wait, but so long as you don't mind that . . . :)

You hate drawing? YOU BE LUCKY. :)

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Yaaaay, I don't mind:)
Do you have an actual list? As in a piece of paper and stuff.
Dinner!!! Byebye, *waves*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Bye Leni! *waves*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I've got to go now. Bye! *walks off. turns and waves. Continues walking*

Blogland Collaboration said...

Sounds like she has a really intelligent subconscious...

Star Inkbright said...

No, actually . . . The list exists in my head. :)

Hunter says that if he writes/types stuff down, he could accidentally right it down wrong, or it could be hacked and edited, or it could be replaced with the forgery, and also, it wastes paper and trees/space on device, plus he might not be able to remember what he meant and he wouldn't put down all his connotations and milions of linking down, and furthermore he may not have the paper/device when he needs it, so the best, safest, most efficent, most convenient place to store anything is in his head.
Anyone who knows him looks doubtful at this, not seeng his head as the best place to be with the mental issues and crazyness and stuff, but he has an amazing memory and it's always best if you rememeber things yourself because that's how you can use them well, so he's actually right kinda. :)

Anyway, yeah. The list is in my head, but it is a list. :P

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS IENI!

HI . . . hmm . . . Fabi? I'm mostly sure it's you, but there be a chance it be-n't.

HI! :)

Star Inkbright said...

FOURS LEWIS! :(

Blogland Collaboration said...

Yes, c'est Fabi. [nods]

Hi Star :-)


NOOOOOOO!! I just ripped the K in Kallista! :-(

I am counting around to see what names I have done... Apparently I need to redo that one. I can probably trace most of it, though.

Star Inkbright said...

OH, PLUS I GOT ASKED TO DRAW JEFF!

Apparently he looks like a stickman with a big smile though, so that shouldn't be too difficult. :P

Star Inkbright said...

D:!!!!!

Yay for your names. :)
It's a jepic idea. *nods*

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

........Well, I regret leaving for a minute

Blogland Collaboration said...

Thanks. [hugs]


[laughs]

Blogland Collaboration said...

Hello Tyler!

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

Hello

How is the team going for stopping this, mevolent

Star Inkbright said...

My friend's cousin actually invented Jeff. Apparently he's 32 and sits in an office all day eating Jaffa Cakes. Also, he is apparently too small to be seen. Oh, and he's indestructible. And the meaning of life. And everything. Yeah.

JEFFISTHEMEANINGOFLIFE!

HI CASTIEL!

Star Inkbright said...

And JEFFISAMAZING. *nods*

Star Inkbright said...

JEFFISEVERYTHING!

Star Inkbright said...

I post a lot of comments when I'm not distant. O_O

Star Inkbright said...

It's probably spam. :/

son of the moon said...

I think I'm done writing for now, so I'll comment as Fabi/Anna to avoid confusing you all even more.

Well, Mevolent is still mean and stuff, but Zaf killed Baron Vengeous, which is something, anyway.

Star Inkbright said...

Bella is wearing this dead cool jacket. :)

I hope I manage to draw it okay. :P

The jackets looks better than her. *laughs*

She's a vampire, btw. I asked, and my friend wanted her as a vampire, so.

Luciana said...

We are never ever everrrrrrrrrr getting back togetherrrrr

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

Wow, What a story Star xD

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

(IamreallygettingintotheCastielcharacterx'3)

Star Inkbright said...

HI FABI!

HI ANNA!

Yah!!!

*remembers I'm not Hunter* Ah. :P

I almsot wrote Hunter's name instead of the date AGAIN. XD

I think it's now because I think "I remember I keep writing Hunter's name instead of the date" and therefore me writing his name instead of the date is in my head when I write the date, so I go and write his name instead of the date because I'm thinking about it.

XD

My friend laughed at me. :P

I told her he was insane and then I frowned and was like not thattttt insane and then she was like not like me then. XD

He's insaner than her though. :P

He is one of the few people who can claim that. :)

. . .ANd he doesn't exist. -_-

Star Inkbright said...

STORIESSSSSSSSSSSSSs. :)

HI MUSHROOM! *hugs* NICE TO SEE YOU.

Gah. Hunter needs to be here so he can meet you all. :P

. . . I just wrote 'I can eat' instead of 'he can meet'. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???

A lot, Star. A lot. XD

*remembers I'm meant to be draiwnG* DAMN!

Star Inkbright said...

*scowls* OH MY GOSH, I CAN /SEE/ THE PHOTOSHOPPING ON THIS. *glares*

son of the moon said...

Hello Lucy! :-)

Um hello again Star.
Hello Star!

Luciana said...

HELLO EVERYONEEEEEEEE *hugs everyone*

Wbd, writing. c:

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs* All her features are kind of out of sync with each other. Come on, call that good Photshopping? Do you think I'm blind? Do you think I'm cold? HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPINION, AND THAT YOU'LL GIVE ME A REASON, THAT THERE IS NOTHING LEFT WORTH BELIEVING, IN THIS WORLD THAT WE'RE LIVING IN, WELL I HAVE AN OPINION, OH, THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON, AND THEIR LIVES AREN'T WORTH BELIVING, WE HAVE TO SHOW WE'RE NOT GIVING IN . . .

That's the third time today I've started singing Opinion because of the word 'blind'. XD

Star Inkbright said...

FABI! HELLO! NICE TO MEET YOU! *shakes hand*
Seriously, her mouth is out of line with her nose and her eyes are different sizes . . . *giggles*

son of the moon said...

[hugs Lucy back]

Okay.

Yes, hello Star. [shakes hand]

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hmm...I wonder if this Spanish will magically etch itself into my memory?

Msd/wbd.

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

.......................

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, nobody would notice if they weren't looking closely, but still . . .

HELLO, FABI. :)

@Ieni: Imagine storing it in a box in a room in your head.

It doesn't work for me, but then I've never tried it . . .

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

But my head doesn't have any rooms, because then it would want doors and doors are for people with no imagination.
AND I WAAANT TO HAVE IMAGINATION!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

Words cannot do this song justice, I swear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMTz-hf9Q_w

It's more amazing than Jeff.

Star Inkbright said...

@Ieni: THANK YOU!

*edits Hunter's interpretion of his mind*

Now it is doorless. *nods*

There are simply windows everywhere. :P

Star Inkbright said...

Would you like me to edit Hunter's house and take all the doors out of it? :P

*struggles to do so*

They were awesome doors, though. D:

Oh, I have an idea!

All his doors are now called sroods. *nods*

They are not doors, because they are better than doors. They are doors . . . EVOLVED. Imaginatively. XD

Star Inkbright said...

Well, the front door is still a door, but they always portal in anyway so it never gets used. :)

Thank you muchly, Ieni. :) *hugs*

Errr....what did I do? :O

Hi, Dragona!:)

I HAD A GOOD WRITING DAY, TODAY

Even though I wrote barely a chapter.

It's actually a good chapter!8D

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Ieni! How are you?

Dragona Pine said...

Btw, there's a new story on my blog.

dragonapine.blogspot.co.uk


It has ZOMBIES and features the SOS and it links to The Dark Shadow and also my SP Fanfic, or it will in a while.
It IS set in the SP Universe... but yeah.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hey, Clover!
*quotes teacher*
Quantity not quantity:)

I'm errr....blllleeeeh:)

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: I don't have doors, I have sroods.

Randomer: *frowns* Sroods?

Hunter: Sroods.

Randomer: What's one of them?

Hunter: A srood. Singualar, srood, plural, sroods.

Randomer: What is a srood?

Hunter: Oh, it's like a door, but cooler.

Randomer: How's it cooler?

Hunter: It's more high-tech.

Randomer: So it's basically a very good door?

Hunter: Yes.

Randomer: So why not cool it a door?

Hunter: Beacuse it's a srood.

Randomer: You could cool it an awesome high-tech door?

Hunter: It's a SROOD! That's it's NAME! Sroodsroodsroodsroodsroodsroodsroodsroodsroodsroodcauliflowercheese.

Randomer: What's wrong with doors?

Hunter: They're boring and unimaginative. Doors are for people with no imagination. Sroods are COOL.

Randomer: I think they sound kind of stupid.

Hunter: Then you are as boring and unimaginative as a door, and exist for the soul purpose of being ripped of your hinges and replaced with a srood.

Randomer: Maybe I'm gonna be ripped off my hinges, but at least I'm not UNHINGED.

Hunter: Ah, good one. I like you. You may live to fight another day. Well, be boring and unimaginatuve another day.

Randomer: Doors can be pretty imaginatively decorated.

Hunter: But sroods need no decoration to look and be beautiful and cool. They're just awesomeness in its pure form. Well, kind of pure form. Actuallym not pure at all. But they have awesomeness blood in them. They have been descended down from the awesome of the awesome.

Randomer: Sroods have BLOOD?

Hunter: No, but I can imagine they do, because I'm not an unimaginative door. Sroods can also imagine they have blood coz they're that imaginative, which is why they bleed.

Randomer: *frowns* They bleed?

Hunter: Well, they fire blood at intruders. It's awesomely cool, I know.

Randomer: Really?

Hunter: Yeah.

Randomer: *backs off*

Why do we fall in love so easy? Even when it's not right

Star Inkbright said...

A guy on a Device vid asked if David was Jesus. He got a lot of agreement.

Being Christian, I disagree with this, but I completely agree with the sentiment. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5VaqgSyFgM

Star Inkbright said...

@Luciana: You want a scientific answer or a normal one?

Because the scientific answer is that it's to make us want to reproduce and therefore keep our species alive. It's a survival technique.

The normal one is, because we do and because we're human, which is a way of saying I don't know. XD

Luciana said...

... Try by P!nk came on is all, Star... *laughs*

Star Inkbright said...

When you vilify
You begin to nullify
Everything that we've ever done
You're fucking with my head!
As you vilify
All I've ever given
I don't wanna fall apart anymore
I want to end it right now!
When you vilify
I start to ponder
Every battle ever fought every thought
Imploding in my head!
If you vilify
It's a bitter pill that I
Will force you to devour enough
Why don't we end it right now?

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: So? I can answer if I want.

In . . . whatitcalled. That book series about Nora and Patch. It began with a biology lesson about why people like this in people (people are attracted to beauty because it signifies health (you look better if you're healthy, don't you?) and therefore in theory they woud be more able to bear offspring. It's instincts and stuff. Plus woman are attracted to strength because in theory those men would be more able to protect them and hunt enough food), and they in the book were all groaning but I found it really interesting . . . I do, seriously. :)

There's something wrong with me. XD

Star Inkbright said...

And intelligence in men - more skills to be able to bring home food! :)

Star Inkbright said...

You know, say we were animals. *nods*

Hello anna
Any news in cyber space?

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS CASTIEK!

Hey, this drawing might be my best people-drawing. :)

On the other hand, it hasn't had a whole lot of chance to go wrong yet. XD

HI FABI! :)

HI MAEGAN! :)

son of the moon said...

Probably. [shrugs]

Nice to meet you, by the way. I'm Fabi, or Anna. [shrugs] Most people call me Fabi, though. Either works.

Maegan Harty said...

: )

son of the moon said...

Hi Star! Yay for good people-drawings!

Maegan Harty said...

Yes my people drawings are odd. One eye is bigger than the other. One leg is shorter yeah i'm pretty bad

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* Oh, it isn't GOOD. It's simply not bad. :)

Yet. -_-

Hi Maegan! You don't know me probably, but I've read all your comments unless you've been here sometimes before January 2012, so I know you kind of a bit. :P

*laughs* I appear to be stealing Hunter's technique of freaking out people he meets.

Star Inkbright said...

Well, one eye is bigger than the other one things meant to be photographs. Just pretend it was Photoshopped by an expert and it will look completel normal. :)

. . . Yes, I be angry at Photoshopping. XD

Maegan Harty said...

I only joined two days ago but thank you for thinking i'm actually cool well you actually didn't but i shall take it as one

Maegan Harty said...

Maybe i could be like picasso

son of the moon said...

I can draw faces and heads okay, but it doesn't usually look like who it's supposed to look like, even if it's pretty realistic, so...

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* But you are cool! :)

Maybe you should. :) DO DAT. :)

Maegan Harty said...

I simply can't draw noses is that weird?

I cannot freaking draw hands AT ALL.

And making it look like the person it's meant to look like . . . Nobody can draw photographs. :)

Well, old painters could draw still life that looked real, but they're onions.

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS MAEGAN!

I can do noses. JUST NOT HANDS!

Star Inkbright said...

Hmm. In the picture I was copying, Kristen Stewart looked as she looked, and in my drawing, she looks prettier.

Um.

Oh well. Making her look prettier is a goooooooood thing. :)

SO JEALOUS OF HER, THOUGH. XD

son of the moon said...

Bye Maegan.

I'm distant, drawing names and/or eating lunch.

Star Inkbright said...

*compares* OH MY GOSH I DREW HER WAY PRETTIER LIKE WHAT THE HELL HOW DID I DO THAT . . .

It's as mystifying to me as when I managed to make my Edward drawing look like Gale. XD

I seem determined to improve the looks of all the Twilight characters. XD

Well, it's not hard. XD

Star Inkbright said...

Words are my favourite thing to draw. :)

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry, poofed.

son of the moon said...

Hm. Reminds me of like comedic drawing, where you exaggerate stuff... Only that's usually cartoony so. Hmm...

Same here, I like drawing words and letters. :-)

son of the moon said...

Wb, Dragona.

Luciana said...

Sorry I vanished! My mom dragged me to Asda, because I needed some stuff for school for tomorrow. :)


I always feel so much better in the evening/at night. This is damn weird. XD

Star Inkbright said...

Awesome! :)

I adore word art. I love trying to get letters to fit around each other in a beautiful jumble. So it can't really be read anymore. XD

I want to have the word 'DISTURBED' on my massive rubber. SO instead of just writing it like a nromal person, I'm drawing out different design ideas of word art in my school notebook. *laughs*

I just love word art. And I love colouring words in bright colours then making the background black so they appear to glow . . . :)

Star Inkbright said...

And I like just drawing letters in a readble way. Different fonts. :)

HI MUSHROOM!

HI DRAGONA!

Star Inkbright said...

I feel gooder at evening/night coz I'm often online with you guys then. :)

Star Inkbright said...

OH MY GOSH in year five we had to do . . . whatitcalled.

EXAMPLES.

Jumpy, jumpier, jumpiest.

Loud, louder, loudest.

And on the harder ones we go bad and had to . . . whateveritscalled it.
And I'd seen this book called Bad, Badder, Baddest so I wrote bad, badder, baddest down and got it wrong. D:

I WAS SO ANNOYED AT THAT BOOK. Because of its stupid made up words, it made me get the question wrong!!!

. . . I have no idea why I said that. XD

son of the moon said...

Fonts are funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


Hello again, Lucy! :-)

Star Inkbright said...

THEY AREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. :)

Star Inkbright said...

As you might be able to tell, I stopped drawing. XD

Star Inkbright said...

I miss my friend.

Star Inkbright said...

I think I feel like writing. *muses*

son of the moon said...

I'm extreeeeemely distant, looking back at old comments and adding to me "to draw" list.

Star Inkbright said...

OH! *facepalm*

And I love doing word art like my profile picture. :)

Star Inkbright said...

I'm UNDISTANT.

Like undead, but undistant. :P

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

son of the moon said...

Your profile picture is cool, Star. :-)

Wb, Castiel!

Star Inkbright said...

Anyone mind if I be my character, probably for just a short time?

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Zafira! How are you? Btw, did you read the newest posts by myself and Brad for Dead Reaping?

son of the moon said...

I blame my mate! He and I were talking about whether I'd be a terrible mother or not. I think I would be, but he doesn't seem so sure. XD
