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...

Salman if someone likes a certain type of music or a band or a singer it's not nice to insult them in front of that person. It's all right to simply say that you don't like it but its not nice to say to someone that they shouldn't listen to certain music. Mara likes One Direction, Star likes Disturbed, Fabi and other people here like Little Mix. Different people like different things an different types of music. *is not sure where that went* I forgot something that I wanted to say there. Ah well.

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

Coldplay is good, yes, but that doesn't mean 1D isn't.

You don't like them, don't listen to them, but please don't insult them when Mara's around, they mean a lot to her, please respect that.

#ChaseForBook9

Luciana said...

Salman, if you're going to insult other people's opinions, I'll start insulting you.

And I'm harsher than most people think. :')

One Direction are talented. They came from x-Factor, which is proof of their talent. You cannot deny their abilities, not without lying. :3

Star Inkbright said...

See, Marks rang Never, and Hunter had her phone because he does that, and he answered, like "Hello, Marks."
And Never was like, "Hunter, give me my phone back," all calm-like, refusing to react.
And he was like, "What was that?"
And she just sort of stood there not reacting.
And then there was a bit more dialouge I forgot, with Never being unreactant and HUnter being annoying and Marks just getting impatient on the other end.
And then Hunter said, "I'll give you your phone back if you act annoyed about me stealing it."
And she was like, "HUNTER JUST FUCKING GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK!
And he was like, "*tilts head to side* That was fun. I tell you what, you keep doing that and I'll give you back your phone when I get bored of it."
And she was just like, "Yu are the most irritating person in the whole universe."
And he was like, "You're thinkiing of kittens."
And she was like, "Lhsjwalgvjkhbgrlre [or words to that effect]"
And he was like, "You're thinking of nothing." and then he laughed, and then he said, "Did I tell you about when we went to the zoo years ago and I was dying to drop Ismira in the penguin enclosure but Ez wouldn't let me, so I dropped Morgan in instead?"
And she was like, "No."
And then he went off into this huge explanation of how Ez had tried to go mental but kept laughing and he'd quoted SP all the way home, even if he did stitch quotes together (an even from here, an if from there, a he from the other, and did, stitch and quote from the other other). And he got really into it and Never just held out her hand for her phone in the middle of it and he just chucked it over because he wasn't concentrating, and then she started talking to Marks, and then Hunter was like "DAMN you. You evil little THIEF. Back girl, Never, stealing is naughty."
And then she stopped talkng to Marks for a mo and was like, "Well, you stole it off me in the first place!"
And he was like, "I didn't steal it. I . . . found it."
And she was like, "It wasn't lost."
And he was like, "Maybe not physically, but it was mentally, because it's a lonely little phone. You don't care about it, you just use it to communicate. It doesn't have anyone to lov it and it's all floating around lost aboard the sea of life, all alone."
And she was like, "You don't care about YOUR phone."
And then he just put his hands over his ears and started sining Wings, and like, "Your words don't mean a thing, I'm not listening, keep talking, all I know is . . ."
And Never just went back to talking.
TBC

Star Inkbright said...

And he got to the chorus, which he and Ez had modified (badly. They did it in like five minutes then forgot about it) because both their mothers had been pretty crap and never said anything of the sort:
"The chorus is shit, so I'm missing it
And it's inaccurate, at least some bits
It's untrue for me, and it's untrue from Ez
But anywaaaaay
These wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say, it won't hurt me -"
And Never said, "YELLOW SHOWER CURTAINS!"
And Hunter threw himself on the ground and banged his head.
And Never was like, "See? My words do hurt you."
And he was like "Maybe, but I rest my point."
And Never was like, "How can you, when it's fallen flat?"
And he was like, "Because now after I fell I'm resting on the ground, and my point is resting with me, because it's my point. I am making it rest with me, so I am resting my point."
And then she rolled her eyes and went on talking to Marks and Hunter just carried on lying on the ground singing Wings.
And THEN the man came up to ask if he was okay.
And Never was like, "Yes, he's just . . . resting."
And Hunter was like, "No I'm not, she PUSHED me."
And Never was like, "What? I didn't!"
And Hunter was like, "You pushed me with your words. 'No matter what you say, you just hurt me . . ."
And Never was like to the man, "Don't worry, he's fine, hes always like this."
And then Hunter went soemthing like, "Pasta bag? Headphones waterbottle gun."
And then Never said something else to him and he replied in perfectly serious gibberish, and Never was getting pretty worried because, y'know, he can do that.
And the man was like, "I do hope you're acting."
And Hunter was like, "Of course I am."
And Never was like, "Fuck you."
And Hunter went back to singing Wings, and the man walked off, and then Hunter was singing, "And I'm too horse to care."
And Never was like "Horse?"
And Hunter was like "Yes, like horseflies."
And then Never needed to tell Marks something Marks didn;t want Hunter to hear, so she put headphones on himm and turn them right up then dropped his jackte on his head so he couldn't see anything.
And then that's about as far as I got. :P

WOW THAT TOOK A LONG TIME.

salman said...

Blah, you people are weird...
1d are weird...

Aisling Dubh said...

*hugs Mara*

Yeah like that Salman. It's really annoying when that happens. Or when you know the answer but aren't sure how to phrase it.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

I SHOULD HOPE 1D ARE WEIRD. WEIRD PEOPLE ARE COOL. :P

Me and Mara and Fabi like Little Mix! :)

(Yes, I like Disturbed and Little Mix. Problem? :))

#ChaseForBookNine

salman said...

imagine a really famous band randomly shouted 'BAGUETTES' in the middle of their concert XD

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

Yes we're weird, but in what way is that "Blah"?

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

If you think we're weird, why are you here?

And 1D are not weird. They're 19-21 year old boys, thrown into a world of fame. They're best friends, and that's how they act. You only think they're weird because all the singers you like act like famous people. One Direction are like the boys next door. That's why they're so popular.

#ChaseForBook9

salman said...

it... it is an alien thing...

Adra Cruciatus said...

*jumps in*
HI!
*throws skulcakes in the air*

salman said...

1 direction made a 'charity song' that the money made from the song did not go to Charity, and only the money SAVED from the video did... GREEDY

Star Inkbright said...

SEVERE MSD.

ADRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Aisling Dubh said...

Star was that asking me if I have a problem with you liking Disturbed or Little Mix? Or someone else. Cause I love the way on here people talk about the music they like. And I've no problem with anyone liking any sort of music :)

Also yes thanks. *adds in Star and Mara's names into the thing that I said up there^ beside Little Mix*

#ChaseForBook9

salman said...

ohh hi adrados!
do you remember me?
i argued with u about kindlesd ages ago! :D

Aisling Dubh said...

Hi Adra

#ChaseForBook9

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

HI ADRA

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

FABI AISLING! STAR! *tackles all of them* IIIIIIIIII LOVE YOU ALL

and i miss chu all too :3

hi..
a



and I remember you, Salman. I was really pissed off lol :P

Star Inkbright said...

It wasn't directed at anyone, Aisling. :) It was just directed at the world in general. I wouldn't direct it at you, because I didn't think you would find a problem, COZ YOU'RE NICE. :)

It's just funny that I like both of them, because like, metal and pop. :)

@Salman: One Direction relatively recently donated 5000 pounds of their own money to charity.
Just thought I would notify you.
I do try not to be hostile to people, but I will if they're having a go at people for no obvious reason, and I will correct people if they're mistaken.

#ChaseForBookNine

salman said...

YAY! U REMEMBER ! :D
A few days ago i tried for the second time to go on blogger, and again ended up arguing :/

salman said...

and i nearly just ended up arguing again :/

Star Inkbright said...

I'm sorry you argued with people, Salman. I dislike arguing and I feel sorry when everyone has a go at one person. :(
Top tip for avoiding arguments:
Do not insult anyone or anything.

#ChaseForBookNine

salman said...

Damn, not arguing is hard...

Adra Cruciatus said...

*clings to Star* *whispers* hi Star...


and ew. 1D

Star Inkbright said...

Yet again, Salman: I'm sorry. :/

#ChaseForBookNine

salman said...

any tips on uhhh, how to not insult anything...

salman said...

huuh?
i just realized that ur name is not Adrados but Adrasdos :o

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra:

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

If you happen dislike 1D, please respect that they mean everything to some people, and . . .

Blogger Maralie Lily Charm said...
Salman, you can insult me, you can insult my looks and you can insult my life, but don't you dare think for a second that you can insult one of the only things keeping me from grabbing a knife and ending it all.

#ChaseForBook9

June 13, 2013 at 9:16 PM

MARANESS IS PERFECT.
SO PLEASE.

(Also, I don't think 1D have the right to be insulted anyway, but I won't elaborate on that because I am trying my best not to argue.)

HI ARDAAAAAAAAA. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Salman: No, no tips on that, sorry. :(

Uh. Have a go at Bruno Mars? I have nothing against Bruno Mars, but my friend and her friend did a music video of one of his songs (Marry You. It was funny), so he was in my head, and I know nobody here who particulary likes him, so it shoudl be relatively harmless, if a little unfair to aforementioned Bruno Mars.

#ChaseFOrBOokNine

salman said...

did everyone die?

Star Inkbright said...

I died! :)

IT WAS HILARIOUS. :)

#CHaseForBoolNine

salman said...

uhhhh, Bruno Marz is OK...
wewll not really, i just cannot think up ways to insult him...

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

Hum. I appear to be not talking.

Goodbye for now.

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

Yeah.. I get what you mean, Star. I'm just saying, I don't particularly like their music.

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

I'm not taking sides, I have no intention of making any enemies here today, but Salman. If 1D are so bad, why can't you just let Mara figure that out for herself? Why can't you just have different taste and let all of us live our lives in peace? Why do so many people have such trouble with that...?

But so what if they're bad, I don't like them,(OK, maybe a little.) but I feel no need to try and imprint my views upon others, and neither should you. It just makes the world a suckier place to live in. Stop increasing worldsuck please...

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

:( Oh. Fours Fabi . . .

You can insult him for not making his songs about meaningful things! *Nialldles*

(My main thing I have against singers)

I don't disike Bruno Mars at all other than that. Help. :P

#ChaseFOrBookNine

salman said...

i understand completely... but uhhh hobbit lord?

Adra Cruciatus said...

Yeah, and I didn't mean to insult you, Star... I just wanted to say... :( sorry.

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

1D can't be that bad, because if Mara is here, she loves S.P and if she loves S.P, how can she have bad taste...?

Msd.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: That's fine. :)

@Trip: *hugs* YOU BE AWESOME. :)
Thank you. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

salman said...

BRUNO MARZ IS SUCH AN IDIOT!
JEDWARDS SONGS HAVE MORE MEANING THAN HIS!
AND THAT IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT :D
that made me fell better

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

Sorry, made that comment before all that ^ happened. But why do you feel the need to hate Salman? No I'm just interested because I want to know.

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

LOL TRIP.

Oh, maybe I should just go ahead and say it- I don't really care for most pop singers. It's not like i have something singularly against 1D. It's just pop music generally.

I'm a rocker girl. Classic, Metal, Hard... All the bands.

salman said...

uhhhhh, i do not hate... it is just that... ~flee

Adra Cruciatus said...

I'm gonna stop now.

*noms on a skulcake*

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

*is hugged* Thank you Star.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I'm not insulted. :) *hugs*

(Just wHarryed about Maraness. D:
I have no probelm with someone stating they dislike soemthing.
LUCKILY FOR MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL, HALF OF WHICH HAVE DECIDED THAT THEY HATE DISTURBED. :P)

@Ieni: VERY GOOD POINT. :) *hugs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

You know, I think I was right a few days ago. People do hate me for liking music.

One Direction have changed my life dramatically. Sometimes, though, I wonder - is it for the better or the worse?

I'm going to go now.

I'm sorry for being such a nuisance.

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

Disturbed.... *nods* wicked.

Star Inkbright said...

I DON'T LIKE POP MUSIC GENERALLY, SO I CAN GET THAT. :P

Okay, I'm poofing now. LEEDS TOMORROW! *dies of nerves*

Fours!

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Adrasdos, I have to agree with you, but I dunno, they have a special quality to their music that sets them apart from most pop groups and singers. It may be the fact they have more than one sentence in their songs.

#ChaseForBook9

salman said...

(no offence to any Twilight fans)
in It in school i had to make a power point on anything at all, i done mine on sp.
i looked at all the books everyone in my class was reading and i almost cried with joy.
and even better, one of my friends said that since reading so, their love for Twilight had gone less :D.
My work is done :D

Adra Cruciatus said...

Trip, it's just Adra, please :P and lol. That comment.

*hugs Star and Mara* I LOVE YOU TWO

Aisling Dubh said...

Bye Mara
Bye Star

Gtg night

Enjoy Leeds tomorrow anyone who's going :)

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

Salman, are you trying to piss people off?

Just wondering.

salman said...

i said no offence...

Adra Cruciatus said...

*sorry, i just read some of the earlier comments, and I saw how you were bashing a lot... I was just wondering...*

salman said...

and anyway... i dunno if anyone here likes twilight...

salman said...

bashing?

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

Adra, OK. but Salman, I like to try and understand the minds of others, it makes me more benevolent (in a non-creepy non-god complex way) so why do you feel the need to hate/ imprint your ideals upon others?

#ChaseForBook9

salman said...

what do u mean bashing?

Adra Cruciatus said...

I know, and I get that. But saying that doesn't justify what you're saying.

By that logic, I can say no offense and then make fun of Americans and completely trash their whole culture. that doesn't make it okay.

Sorry, I just have a very strong opinion on this... *closes eyes*
*hides in corner*

plz dont kill me

I'm really sorry for annoying everyone with my rants about 1D.

But, apart from you (but you probably hate me now, so whatever), 1D are all I have left.

#ChaseForBook9

salman said...

trip... no offence but you sound like a Physicytrist ( u dunno how to spell it)... and i am in no way in need of one

Adra Cruciatus said...

"mara! one direaction are bad...
listen to good music..."

Bashing as in... kinda forcing your opinion on other people and making fun of it... *frowns* why am I even arguing this?

*leaves the room to go climb a tree*

salman said...

fine, EVERYONE in the sp fandom calls 50 shades bed, most call it 50 shades of Sh*t

salman said...

bad*

salman said...

so why can i not say it about twilight?

salman said...

is it possible to be reading two books at the same second!?

Adra Cruciatus said...

That's because 50 Shades is porn. Duh.

but some people like Twilight, so...

Adra Cruciatus said...

MARA I LOVE YOU *tacklehugs* you're perfect. Don't let yourself or anyone else think otherwise.

Willow Storm said...

Ugh why is the internet so slow

salman said...

but twilight is about... i do wanna die so i will not say it...
it is about --- Vampires

salman said...

adrasdos, did u draw ur icon?

Willow Storm said...

What's wrong with Vampires?

Noelle said...

ADRA.
ADRA its Adra...

And SP has vampires in it also. So does City of Bones. And Clockwork Angel. And VA

salman said...

should i call u Mrs Dark or Adrasdos?

1- Mara, why would we hat you? And what about family?

2- Salman: I like to understand things, to be able to help people when they need it. But being a human I can only experience my own 'human experience', with my own biased views, beliefs and personality. To improve myself, instead of staying in my tiny little world (a.k.a my head) I try to understand others and be able to help others. It's really quite fascinating, it's made me a very impartial person and helped me gain inner peace. So to conclude, I wasn't being a Psychiatrist, because they want to help those they ask. I am fully aware you are not in need of one, but my motives for asking you are much more selfish. I want to understand you.

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

Because, um, how do I phrase this. I want to understand. I want to know why you do what you do, I want to know why haters hate, why believers believe, why fangirls fangirl and everything in-between. I understand myself, I have inner peace, control and general fulfillment, but others, I have no idea about them. That's the next step, I want to thoroughly understand others as I do myself, understanding myself was the tutorial, now it's time for the main game.

That's why.

So, apparently I have to dedicate for this page. I’m not so good at dedicating, but Mara gave me the rights to dedicate.
And the conversation above is my inspiration for this dedication.
Everyone is different, everyone is unique. So why are you going to try to change to make someone else like you? They should like you for who you are, not for who they make you.
Individuality is one of the most incredible things we have, I believe. Without that, what do we have? Really?
Our individuality is what makes us us. If we weren’t ourselves, the chances of things being invented are so much slimmer than they already are.
Do you think, without individuality, we would have arts such as drawing, writing, singing and dancing? Because I’m not sure we would, not in the same way we have them now.
The unique touches that people give to things are like fingerprints. Nobody has the same signature. With writing, every writer writes differently. With singing, no two people have the exact same voice. With dancing, everyone has different abilities. And drawing? Everyone has a different style.
My point here is, no two people are the same. But that’s a good thing. If we were all to be the same – wearing the same outfits, looking exactly the same, liking the same things, disliking the same things, being no different to anyone else – then how would we know if we liked someone? They’d be just like you.
Without differences within us, life is nothing. We’d get nowhere. The human race would probably die out.
That’s why I’m dedicating to uniqueness. The fact that our opinions all differ, and the fact that we can accept our differences – whether they are bad or good – and can still love each other with them. They say that for a couple to work, they must be opposites and equals, so differences are a necessity, in my mind.
I dedicate to the differences we all have, and how everyone is themselves. Were life to be any different, I would not want to live it. I’m thankful for the fact that not everyone has blonde hair, that not everyone has sea-green eyes, that not everyone has freckles, that not everyone is “skinny”… It’s the differences in us that make us so perfect, to me.
Thank you, for being you. And thank you for having differing opinions to me, because without that I don’t think I’d learn.
You’re perfect.

@Luci: Talking to a publisher certainly a fine reason to be distant. I hope it goes awesomely. :3

May be distant. Been trying to find a vid for this song all day but kept getting interrupted . . .

Speaking of playlists, lookie lookie, Mixer people! I improved my LM playlist by adding Cannonball and it is now properly completed! :)
