Progress Report

161,556 words. That's how long the book is right now. I wanted to have the edit done by tonight, but unfortunately that's not going to happen. I'm up at 6 in the morning to catch a plane to Leeds, so I'm about to hit the sack.

Oh, and for those of you who were pleading with me to keep LSODM as long as possible... you've got your wish. My editor Nick and my agent Michelle both got back to me, suggesting tiny changes here and there, but nothing that would shorten the book.

So the HUGE amount of characters stay in. The MASSIVE battles stay in. The HILARIOUS jokes and LIGHTNING-FAST wit stay in. Verily, it is a good day to be a Minion.

And I've just been chatting to Laura, who calls it the "deepest and darkest one yet". So I've got her all-important seal of approval, which makes me happy.

When it's out, when you've read it, I'll talk more about the writing of it, and the various problems I had to deal with in order to make it work. Everything from Book Two onwards has been leading up to LSODM, after all. Of all the books, this is the one I was certain about from the very beginning, in 2005, but it was one I was the most unsure about when I was actually writing it. So it comes as a relief to know it's actually good.

So... tomorrow I'm in Leeds— the tickets to which are now sold out— and on Saturday I'm signing in Waterstones in York at 11AM— and no tickets needed.

I'm been really quiet lately, on the Blog and on Twitter, and I do apologise for that, but I had to devote all my attention to the book. Now that it's (practically) done, I can get back to normal. Which'll be... er... nice.

I guess...

Look. Here's some advice. Pretend you have a mental disorder (it's probably classed as one, actually) and go get help. They have good medication for people like you who can take drugs, and they also have awesome advice and that.

This isn't a disorder Hunter, it can't be fixed with medication, my actual emotions, bits of my soul, are breaking apart and won't mix back together.

And I swear to you, you're probably no different to lots of people with mental disorders. Whoever said they don't have it because of their souls being broken?

Noelle said...

What...

Talk: Right, so you all were ganging up on Trip earlier and I just wanted to say how much that upset me. Sure, if something annoys you you should not call people names and yell and scream at them! Jesus wept this is a RP. It's SUPPOSED to be overly dramatic!
Everyone has nuances in others that get on their nerves. You wonder, Ember, why Trip attacked you? I can assure he probably had a reason.
So can we all just SHUT THE HELL UP with demeaning comments and name calling? It only stirs up anger and it hurts feelings and I am just very ashamed that you all sunk that low. Because it IS possible to express ideas kindly.

That's all. Carry on.

Star Inkbright said...

@Trip: Okay, if you say so.

Doesn't mean you can't be helped same way as people with mental disorders.

We're broken too. And our breaks have similar effects. It's just something different that's broken.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

If you have high standards, maybe you should just kick me out. *grins*

But HI. :)

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

I also fimd it kind of offensive. Most of my best friends are down here. Would you like it if someone came along and treated your best friends like they were dirt?Do you think you'd feel more or less bad if they actually were dort? Do you think there's anyone who's literally been friends with dirt? Do you think anyone's ever been in a relationship with dirt? Wouldn't it be a little hard? I mean like, every time you kissed it, you'd end up swallowing it, even if just because it ended up stuck in your mouth and dissolved in your saliva. You know, it's actually kind of amusing to think about. Maybe. Isn't it odd how people have different senses of humour, like sometimes a joke can be told and some people think it's hilarious and others and just what are you all laughing about? And then other times those people will be laughing and the others won't? But some people find more amusmant in things than others. I think it's best to find amusmant in things. Laughter makes you live longer. Hmm, actually, thinking of it that way - OH MY GOD THERE'S A TABLE!!!! *has laughing fit*
IT'S SO FUNNY! :)

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

Talk: Adra, I respect you for standing up for a friend, okay? Now I'm going to do the same thing and say that Ember was trying to help Em and did nothing wrong. Please don't imply that she deserved it in any way. And I will get angry when people attack my friends, it's part of who I am, part I can't change without making myself into a cold, hard rock. If you want to call it overreacting, be my guest. If someone attacked Trip when he was just trying to help, I'd be extremely likely to yell at them in a similar way. And maybe that's wrong, maybe it isn't. It's just how I would react.

But, Ari, you can't forget that Ember was calling him unnecessary names. For some reason -if I follow correctly- she kind of just blew up on him... She did so the other day when Trip used his power, and it brought up a bad memory for Mara. Literally, she scolded him as if he knew that it would have a bad reaction...
I dunno. There's just some crap between them and it shouldn't be solved by trying to hurt the other.
Hunter-.. I don't follow.

@Fabi! Awesomeness! :D

@Adra: Hm. I don't know what happened, here, but I'm gonna draw on the latter part, there - "it shouldn't be solved by trying to hurt the other." - because that goes for pretty much any issue I can think of, really.
(Unless it's all role-playing, in which case, well, it still goes for anything, imo, so, yeah. :P)

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Fabi: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :) :) :)

:( Oh. That sucks, Zaf. *hugs*

@Adra: Yes, but admittedly, he was trying to kill her. He chucked a dying Em against a tree and smashed a bottle over her head. A lot of people react to feling angry by yelling at people. It's perfectly understandable.
It was rather shocking for me, and I was just reading the comments. :/

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*frowns* I'm pretty sure you just insulted me... *shrugs* think of me what you must.

Star Inkbright said...

I'll say it now - I have mixed feelings about my sister coming on the blog . . . I mean like, it's MY special place. :/

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I didn't insult you, I just don't like being lead.
Plus, my phone has maps on it, so it's logical I would go first anyway, right?

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Star- but there IS a difference between real life and RPing. For some reason it was crossed and I don't know where, but...
Alastair tries to kill us 24:7. Granted we scream at him as well but that's clearly RP... I feel like this wasn't.

Star Inkbright said...

Just ignore Hunter, he's babbling on about utter rubbish. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Star: YOU HAVE A SISTER? *frowns* who?

Talking: I think Hunter's a bit mad :P I dig.

Mary Contrary said...

Hi Zaf! Aw, I hope it's fixed soon, then. :/ *offers a cookie*

@Star: Your sister's coming on the blog? Well, hey, that's a fair way to feel. *hugs*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

But it WAS RP. You can see by the asides that Ember wasn't really meaning it irl, and Trip was obviously not feeling violent irl, broken soul and that . . .

If it's more realistic, that's good, imo. :/

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

... But... *frowns* wasn't it real? Because Ember wasn't doing the umbrella thing...

Star Inkbright said...

My sister's COME on the blog, today . . . :/

*points at above comments* Dark Extremely Midnight (Dem).

Because she has a phone now, she wants to be a Bloglandian, and she's been planning to do this snce before she had a phone, and um yeah.

:/

I dunno, it's just like . . . here is sort of my private place with MY awesome friends.
It's just selfishness though, so y'know. *shrugs*

Well. I don't know. And I won't, unless they were both here.

Mary Contrary said...

*tilts head*
Well, if it was RP... I don't really know how the RP works, but I'd say if it could potentially mean people get hurt, then maybe just take care, in that sense, to avoid hurting.
I guess, particularly for all the awesome writers in Blogland, it's easy to get carried away with what comes from the imagination. So, if that IS/could become a problem, maybe just reminding yourself and/or others that it is still roleplaying, every so often? Idk. Just thoughts - Like I said, I don't really know what's happened, or how it works. ^^

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Smiles* I know how you feel about it, Star. I know that it seems selfish but it's pretty understandable...

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

Talk:
The way I read it, Trip was trying to stop her from helping Em because he thought it was too dangerous or all his fault so he should fix it. And then he threw her into a tree. And there's a bit of tension because they have similar powers, I think, as well... Also the Trip/Mycroft thing. If Trip attacked Mycroft, that'd have been understandable.

And I'm going to stop here to hopefully not get involved in the argument

#ChaseForBook9

And maybe I don't wnat her to know when I'm feeling rubbish.
Yes, that.
I pour my soul out, here.
Maybe I don't want her to see it.

And I'll always have to be more secretive when she's here. I won't be me, I'l be big sister. *frowns*

Zaf- I don't rightly know

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: It's perfectly understandable. It's nice to have privacy, or a place you can go when you don't want to be anywhere else, or just somewhere you can let out.
I wouldn't call it selfish, in any case.
And, I guess there's vulnerability, in that sense, in that it's harder to protect her. But I guess she'll also see people here /stopping/ others from harming themselves, and keeping each other happy or simply just company, I guess. So, while maybe she becomes more vulnerable to certain things, but can also see the good that goes on, and learn that good, so she can use it in the future, to help others with wisdom and awesomeness, just as you do?
Blogland is so full of caring-ness and friendliness and helpfull-ness and just general awesomenosity, that it's hard to pick it up while you're here, I guess. :)

*Inside Adra's mind* Thank you.

Thank you for sticking up for me, but I had no reason to attack her. I don't know if you heard, but my emotions are fracturing, they won't share. My aggression took over, I didn't attack her because of any rational explanation, merely because she was insulting me. And that made sense, because all I felt was aggression, anger, hatred, and other affiliated emotions.

I'm... I guess you could say I'm sort of better now. I'm, recovering. But there's still more to do. Please don't try and find me, I need to work this out in peace. With no outside influence.

Just wanted to say thanks.

I don't even know WHY this song makes me feel so squee-y. Probably something to do with the tone. Or just Mads. :P

So it’s quarter to two and I’m trying to write a song about this guy
I got the words but I can’t get the tune
He’s in a show about a guy who eats people
Wouldn’t be so hard if he didn’t look like such hot people when he’s eating people

Mads Mikkelsen
Mads Mikkelsen
This is a song that I’ll probably delete tomorrow

I wish he’d go away so I could finish this stupid song
It’s supposed to be dark and twisted but there’s pictures of him wearing rainbows and shit (???)
It’s damn frustrating writing songs about this guy
But it’s hard to hate him when you just wanna say ‘jeg elsker dig’
(that’s I love you in Danish)

Gtg, sorry, bye.

I've been to Canada a lot, I have relatives there, but I've only been off continent once, ...thirteen years ago, I think. Maybe thirteen and a half.

@Fabi: *hugs back* No worries. I think it's awesome, anyways. :)

@Adra: I've not heard of it, but it sounds awesome. :3 Beautiful how?

@Star: *huggles* Thank you! :3
That's wonderful to hear! I'm glad you thinks so~ :)
Hannibal (let alone its fandom) left me with SO MANY FEELS. And feels means ideas, ideas mean inspiration, inspiration means art, so, yeah. I had a lot of fun painting it. :P

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*hugs Fabi* Bye!

Ember, I don't even know myself!

Wbd :P

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Okay, fine, here it is without umbrellas:

So yesterday Trip and Mycroft had an argument, then they started arguing again later and began stabbing each other, so Ember took Mycroft's soul out of his body and placed it into hers. Meanwhile, Em was being attacked by shadows, and she almost died.

TBC

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

Omg really?!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

THEN, today, Ember tried to help Em. Trip got upset because he felt like he was responsible for Em's death (we thought Em was dead) and attacked Ember.

Then, Ember started attacking him back, Maralie teleporting inside and finding out that Em was actually alive after all. Ember ran away (I h☂d to go h☂ve lunch XP) and then these guys started debating about who was right or wrong or if we were really pretending.

THE END

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(☂nd I c☂lled TripTC some offensive n☂mes... I didn't me☂n it, it w☂s p☂rt of the RP!!

...☂lthough I w☂s ☂ bit ☂nnoyed th☂t he decided to just injure EmberTC, ☂nd I get protective of my wittle Mycwoft...)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Let me just s☂y, though, I'm re☂lly excited to see how the whole thing develops from here!!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Talking: Actually Trip's negative emotions took over and he was consumed by aggression because his soul is fracturing. Emotional alchemy is dangerous.

#ChaseForBook9

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

I have been so scared that Coco will try to kill me

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Talking: If you read from after you left and Trip went all angry-crazy it should explain what happened next.

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I think Coco's ch☂nged... you'll be fine Z☂ffy :)

Trip! *YAY!*

Noelle said...

*droves through the France border* you know, at this rate of... *checks speedometer* 200mph, I should get there by nine! Maybe

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Not here, I just saw that comment and felt it needed rectifying.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I didn't even me☂n to actually type that XD I don't even know wh☂t I w☂s trying to type....

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

You think? Because I did kiss him

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I'm sure he would be fl☂ttered, Z☂ffy.

:)

Noelle said...

I wonder what would happen if Trip mixed his emotional with my chemical alchemy

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

I hope I can talk to him soon or later

Noelle said...

*frowns* silence... *shrugs* whatever

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

,*sighs* I am so tired

Noelle said...

Sorry about that... :(
(Wbd for a little bit-dinner)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Talking: Emotional alchemy is a skill tree of channeling. It is based on the concept of placing your emotions in the soul energy to change it's properties, hatred makes it more dangerous, happiness makes it better for interacting with fragile things and on to infinity, with each emotion having it's own affects. You can then mix these to create all kinds of wonders.

But it is in no way linked to your physical alchemy Adra. Put simply, you can't mix them.

Um, this next part is all going to be Trip dreaming, so don't try and help.

*Trip runs through the forest, he is changing between different colours, red to green, to blue, to purple to indigo to turquoise and so on. He hears noises all around him, screams, laughter, angry shouting, embarrassed whispering, his own breathing, explosions, gunfire, mad scientist laughter and so on.He trips on a branch and lands face first in the dirt*

My soul is messed up too Trip

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*Hears a voice behind him* Voice: We told you this would happen, didn't we?

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

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You... *turns around, sees a group of giant flying books* Book: chapter 20 paragraph 1 line 3: If the alchemist is careless with their abilities, not only is there a risk of the loss of humanity, but the lack of ability to control one's self entirely. If the emotions are not properly balanced while in use, they will begin to separate, and become their own souls, and therefore personality.

Noelle said...

Talking: what.

RP: *crosses the border into Bosnia*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Books: NEVER! This is your mistake, you must figure it out alone... *sadistic laugh rings through the air*

Adra! *starts to run towards Adra, but can't go anywhere, watches all friend die one by one*

Screw it.

Hmmmm, frustration and co. Looks like I still have a problem.
