Word Count

Second draft is done...!

Laura was meant to come round yesterday to pick up her copy, but instead she's calling round tonight. While I wait for her to arrive, I've been going over the word counts to all the books so far. I'm very surprised by the first four books— for some reason, I thought everything I've written had been over 80,000 words. Apparently not.

Skulduggery Pleasant was 67,393 words.
Playing With Fire was 69,683.
The Faceless Ones was 69,689.
Dark Days was 77,335.

And now we see the numbers start to jump...

Mortal Coil was 104,000.
Deathbringer was 118,000.
Kingdom of the Wicked was 134,765.

And the second draft of Last Stand of Dead Men is coming in at a back-breaking 156,688 words. Basically, it's twice the length of Dark Days.

I don't know how long it'll be after the edit, but hopefully I'll be able to trim it down a little.

Ooh, Laura's here. Hold on a sec...


Okay, this is Laura, holding the manuscript of LSODM.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must chat to Laura about... stuff...

POINTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Hey, if I run into the point to try and gain a point, I will pop, so it will have been pointless and I will have been utterly pointless.

By isolating myself from points, I make me be slightly less pointless . . .

WHAT.

I am a confused pointless bubble. O_O

I have compiled a list of last names, which may be pretty stupid:

Star Encke (German last name, sounds like ink ._.)
Star Taylor
Star álainn

I hadn't thought of words that sound like Ink . . . Maybe I should find a similiar word for Bright and add it. :)
Thank you.

Because you involuntarily shake when you nerves something blah. *Nialldles*

Hyper is good.

Hm. My sis would kill me if I tried to learn guitar. Either that or she'd try to teach me...

#ChaseForBookNine

Aisling Dubh said...

Both of my legs are shaking you know they way you sometimes shake when you're really exited? It's like that. But there's nothing (except the end of primary school and my birthday) that would excite me at the moment. And it's not those cause they're both over 2 weeks away. I don't get exited about things when they're that far away.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

HI IENI!!!

@Ais: Um. Well done?
I never know whether people are joking or not. :P
I don't get asked out much, because I'm Weirdo Girl. *Nialldles* HEY THAT SHOULD BE MY NEW NAME.

I got asked out the other daym though . . .
I remember thinking WHAT IS GOING ON IN LIFE TODAY THE WORLD HAS TURNED ON ITS HEAD because earlier that day a boy had said I was really cute, except I think he meant it in a little-kid-awwwwww way, and then he went on to say "Remember in primary when you used to have a homework club?" which was my cue to annoyedly object that I NEVER HAD ONE, and then me and the two boys on the table (who went to my primary) were arguing about it and the three other girls of the table (who didn't) were just like "what? *confusion*"

And I think this boy fancies me, and I know he thinks I fancy him, and he's ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, and he also thinks I think he's a vampire. Because we (the class) were crowded round the middle of the room watching Sir experiment, and he was on a stool (we have stools in science) and I was standing behind him. He leaned back, so I stepped away from him, and he said "I won't bite," and I said, "How do I know? You might be a vampire."
And he told lots of people I thought he was a vampire, and, uh, yeah. :P

@Ieni: Can you be my maid? :)

@Ieni: Autocorrect means you don't have to type to the end of the word? O_O

I would dislike that. I type pratically as I think. :P Well, I think and then I type, but I hear the words in my head about as fast as I type them. Yeah.
If I had autocorrect, I would just type to the end of the word anyway because by the time my brain registered it was typed for me I'd've typed it out. :P

Although I type slower on my phone . . . so yes.

Well, on my Kindle, it gives you a choice of the words, because you just slide your finger to each on-screen key and yeah:)

I type as I think, but it's good, because it doesn't do it automatically if you don't want it to, but it's really helpful:)

Star Inkbright said...

@Ieni: I was using metaphor, hyperbole and poetic license. *Nialldes*

The storyline barely shifted at all, incidentally. :P

I think Hunter has PTSD now, but he has schizophrenia anyway so it doesn't really affect anything much. (For those who want to know, yes, I have actually gone and researched this. Things may shift, but I'm pretty sure he has it. The symptons fit. *Nialldles*)

I AM NOT A HORSE, MERLIN!!!!!!

I quote that quote every time my friend gets annoyed with in the Hobbit (think it was The Hobbit, that or LOTR) WHY THEY COULDN'T HAVE JUST FLIPPING RODE THE EAGLES ALL THE WAY AND WHY THEY WENT ON THAT MASSIVE JOURNEY AND HOW THE WHOLE STORY WAS ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS, AND HOW SHE DOESN'T GET WHY THEY DID NOT JUST FUCKING RIDE THE EAGLES.

Me: I AM NOT A HORSE, MERLIN! Er, because they are not horses! Merlin! And maybe they had other buisness, like Gandalf did!

Friend: No they FUCKING didn't! WHAT other business?

Me: I don't know . . .

Other friend: Because if they used the eagles to get everywhere all the time, they wouldn't be available when they really need them!

First friend: But they DID really need them then! The whole story is just utterly POINTLESS . . . *goes on to rant*

Well actually the eagles watch over all of middle earth. They can't just take a day off to pop Fro do to Mordor. Also the orcs had anti-air catapults! They could have died! But also, in the films, the eagles are represented very differently to the book. The eagles are intelligent creatures who don't meddle with the affairs of the mortals. They assist Gandalf, as he is a wizard, but only when he is in mortal peril.

But finnaly, LOTR is about the journey and the war and the rise of man and the fall of the old races! It wasn't just throwing a ring in some lava!

Sorry, it's one of my most polished arguments. Had to let it loose. How's you all?

If you could get rid of anything from the 21st Century what would it be? (Need to think of something for persuasive writing in English tomorrow).

Very msd, sorry.

@Trip: THANK YOU. I SHALL TELL HER THAT.

I TOLD you they had other buisness like Gandalf! :)

And that they were intelligent mythical beings that were not horses, Merlin! :)

@Ieni: GLOBAL WARMING. :)

And I think I'm going to sleep now. NIGHT!

@Star: Well, it's not really a death scene - it's more of a everyone-finding-out-about-a-death scene...and it's actually sadder than some of my actual death scenes... :/
And nooo, I feel the same! Death scenes are so sad :( I hate to kill anyone off, but it's a must :/

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Flora: YAY FOR SADNESS! *hugs*

Everyone else seems to LIKE killing characters off. :P

And NOW I am going.

Bye Star!

Flora, I make myself kill my characters, if I don't like it, neither will the readers.

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

You OK Em?

Leni, does it have to be exclusive to the 21st century or just to be removed from it. Because if it doesn't have to meaningful and can be ridiculous dribble I'd go for the lack of teleportation devices!

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

Yeah I'm okay, it had to be done.

Though I found a letter that's dated a week before he died. And it has Derek's name on it...

And now I dunno what to do with it.

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

I would suggest you send it to him inside another envelope with a note attached explaining who it's from. But I'm no real authority on the matter, only you can really choose now.

Holah, Snow. *shakes hand*
*hands a skulcake* wonderful to meet you, dear.
What I'm assuming is that you are a new-bloglander. *hugs to all the newbies!*

I must say.

WELCOME!

*bows* although some of you might have missed the Requiem Ball that we had on the blog a few months ago. Derek himself made a singular blog post for it. it was bloglorious.

HELLO, ALVARD. CAN I CALL YOU AL? THANK YOU. *shakes hand* *gives skulcake*

Snow said...

hmm... not so much "new" as... well... 5-month-old?
im not really on a lot... welll, i say that, but the evidence sugests otherwise...

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

I was wondering about that, is it to become an annual thing or a one off?

#ChaseForBook9

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

I've been on since my cat died, which in April, so yeah. This comment is concluded.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*sits on her throne, and bangs a mallet*
ORDER, ORDER!

*clears throat*
Now. I would like to make this dedication out to all of the people I have never met on this blog before, new or not. I hope that we may have wonderful times together, and that we may grow close! Because most everyone who is a fan of Skulduggery is basically kick ass and really cool.

Unless you're NJ Maverick.(hi NJ! <3 you!)
(then of course you're supercool)

I'd also like to dedicate to Superwholock, Hannibal, TVD, GL, FMA and other animes and tv shows I watch because I have no life.

I'd dedicate to Ireland, and England, and Wales, and Scotland. All for being awesome. And having tea. And Harry Potter.

And finally, I'd like to dedicate to our Golden God, Derek Landy. Without him, none of us would probably have never met.

*raises glass*

HEAR HEAR!!!

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Hi Adra, have we met? (I apologise if we have - I have a terrible memory)

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

......... trip.... i dont want to say anything because it might upset you... but at the same time, i do

Noelle said...

And I'm not sure. It ought to be an annual thing.

DEREK. *waves hands at his computer* DEREK, DARLING. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED.

WE HAVEIST A QUESTION FOR THOU.

ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER REQUIEM BALL?

I say we ought to.
that was fun.
