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...

Hi dalekwho

STAR THAT IS WEIRD. ALSO WEIRD DREAMS. I HAVE A TENDENCY TO GO ON AND ON ABOUT THEM, DO NOT GET ME STARTED.

OH--BUT LAST NIGHT, ONLY IT WASN'T NIGHT, IT WAS (JUDGING BY THE SHADOWS) ABOUT ONE OR TWO IN THE AFTERNOON, THERE WAS A SIGNING IN MY BACKYARD AND DEREK WAS THERE AND I FINALLY GOT TMS AND VAL MADE AN APPEARANCE AND SO DID THESE OTHER RANDOM PEOPLE IN MY BACKYARD AND THEN DEREK HAD AN IDEA SO HE BORROWED MY LAPTOP AND WROTE WITH IT. AND HE KNEW THE PASSWORD! O.O Granted, it is one of his character's names, but it's encrypted in a Fabi-code and has three random numbers inserted randomly in.

IT WAS WEIRD

YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I dedicate this page to the hope that my mum will make the right decision about something I know and you guys don't, that she will feel good about her decision, that if she picks B the people at A will be okay with it and won't land in disaster, and that her life becomes better and less stressful. :)
Also, I dedicate to her because she's amazing. *nods*

Sorry, been wanting to do that ded since she got the phone call and had to make her decision.

I is here!

#ChaseForBook9

Mistical Future said...

Hi Duck! How are you?

Star Inkbright said...

I is not really here! *waves to Misti and Duck* Hi. Msd.

#ChaseFOrBOokNine

Mistical Future said...

*Waves to the not really here Star*
Hi
How are you?

Duck said...

Hey Misti and Star!!!!!

I FINALLY finished my exams! And now I don't need to study!
Finished exams with the hardest test of all: HOSPITALITY

(dun-dun-dunnn)

Mistical Future said...

I still have one to go, but other than that and my art assignment i'm done!

*Whispers to self* Oh go i'm so not going to get my art done!

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

I'm okay. About to go to school, woohoo.

YAY FOR FINISHING EXAMS! :)

You can get it done, I bet, if you do it loads. :/

And if you don't get it done before . . . was it Monday? Wake up early on MOnday and finish it then.

So ou sort of have now and tomorrow and Monday . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Duck said...

I suggest getting your art done.
But what do I know about anything?

#ChaseForBook9

Duck said...

Misti, I might just remind you that your chapter People Re-appear is still in draft mode and not on the blog.

Could you publish it so I can comment on it!!!!!!

Mistical Future said...

Ok I'll publish it

And Star the only problem it i'm going camping on the weekend and it's a long weekend so Monday is included!
and on Saturday I'm sooo busy because i'm doing my volunteer work than people are coming over that night! SO I literally have not time on the weekend!

Mistical Future said...

OH my god I just had and idea!!! that could save my art!

... but that relies on the weather and it raining on Saturday and I don't really want to miss volunteering ... maybe I could ask for an extension and my excuse is that I have no time on the weekend which isn't really and excuse it's the truth.

Duck said...

I have to go now guys...

BYE MISTI AND STAR IF YOU'RE STILL THEIR!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Mistical Future said...

Bye Duck!

Snow said...

argh... homework

Snow said...

snow is having a mental breakdown so snow must talk in third person, ko?

Duck said...

ko??????
Did you just knock yourself out snow?
I am assuming you ment ok and not ko but knock-out is much better.

If you're here with Mara some time tell her that Coles stole all the 1D tickets.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

K O, it's like ok, but backwards!

Snow said...

:D

Snow said...

wbd

Duck said...

No, K.O stands for knock-out!!!!!!
It is OK backwards but it doesn't mean the same thing. It's like saying up backwards. Pu. Pu doesn't mean up. If OK was like racecar it would be right. Racecar backwards is racecar and thus means the same thing.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

... :'( Y MUST U QUESTION MY LOGIC!?!?

Mistical Future said...

and Duck *laughs at the typo which I just made*

LOL sorry I accidentally put an 'i' where the 'u' was in your name and I cracked up! if this seams mean I'm sorry I swear it was an accident! and the 'i' is right next to the 'u'!!!

Ok what I was going to say before the typo was the Coles add is weird isn't it? I think so! and if Mara hasn't already seen it she needs to!

Mistical Future said...

hmmm ... blogger deleted my comment ...

#ChaseForBook9

Blogger is weird some times

Snow said...

yes, because it had a "rude" word :D

Snow said...

fabi's ded is sweet

Mistical Future said...

uh hello?

...

"Oh so that's what that feels like"

XD yes Batman has been quoted!!! XD

Mistical Future said...

Yes that's why I didn't actually spell it out! XD But it was really funny when I realised what I had typed!!!

Snow said...

yeps! i knew it would have been!

Mistical Future said...

LOL and I keep imagining if I posted it!!! XD Oh GOD that would of been funny! [Woops I did it again it was 'finny' instead of 'funny'] XD

Mistical Future said...

wbd doing my art

Snow said...

art is fun :D

Snow said...

eye <3 art

Duck said...

.___.

Don't bring that 'i' thing up ever again, EVER.

#ChaseForBook9

How are you guys?
*Huggles everyone*

Jophiel said...

Bye Snow!
*Huggles*

Jophiel said...

Two days and I'm hooked into this...

Sit Back Now
Let Me Tell You A Tale
Where Justice Does Not Prevail

About An Ill-Fated Life
So Very Full Of Strife
Where Two Wrongs Do Not Make A Right

So

When I Was Born
I Did Surely Scorn
My Proud Parent's Name
Then Their Lives Went Down The Drain
Drove Them Insane
My Birth Was A Curse
I Bit The Nurse
Oh, But I Love The Worst
I Deserve To Be Slowly Submersed
Dried Out Then Laid In A Hearse

When I Was Two
I Poured Super Glue
Into My Fathers Hair
As He Sat Unaware
In His Arm Chair
Much To His Dismay
Had To Cut It All Away
Oh, But It Felt Great
I Deserve To Be Cut And Filleted
Then Tossed About In Disarray
Until The Pieces Melt Away

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
Not Quite What He Seems
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Four
I'd Wait By The Door
With A Knife In My Hand
And A Most Devious Plan
It Would Be Quite Grand
As The Mail Fell Through The Slot
The Sharp Edge He Got
Oh, But I Love The Thought
I Deserve To Be Tied In A Knot
Broken Bones And Blood Clots

When I Was Six
I Used To Trick
The Next Door Neighbors Son
In The Woods We Would Run
Time For Fun
Hide N Seek Has A Cost
He Would Be Forever Lost
Oh, But I Love To Scoff
I Deserve To Have My Head Lopped Off
Hidden And Covered In Moss
Until This Memory's Forgot

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
Not Quite What He Seems
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Eight
I Used To Hate
The Color Of My House
So As Quiet As A Mouse
I Burned It Down
To The Ground
When No One Was Around
Oh, But I Love The Sound
I Deserve To Be Quickly Put Down
Rotting Six-Feet Underground

When I Was Ten
I Used To Pretend
To Drown In The Sea
Till They'd Come To Rescue Me
Then Preceed
To Laugh In Their Face
Such A Disgrace
Oh, But I Love The Taste
I Deserve To Have My Brains Displaced
All Over The Fireplace
Until This Life Has Been Erased

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
*Not Quite What He Seems*
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Twelve
I Used To Delve
Into Evil Schemes
Just To Elicit Screams
Boost My Self Esteem
Pushed My Sister Down A Well
She Just Fell
Oh, But I Love To Dwell
I Deserve To Roast Deep Down In Hell
Where No One Can Hear Me Yell

When I Was Fourteen
Nothing Much Happened

Well
There Was That One Time

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
Not Quite What He Seems
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Sixteen
Life Was Frightening
My Brother Was Quite Dull
So With Laughter In My Skull
Pushed Him In A Hole
Then Buried Him Alive
He Barely Survived
Oh, But I Love The Cries
I Deserve To Be Battered And Fried
In An Electric Chair That's Set On High

Now That I'm Eighteen
I Still Hate Things
From This Padded Cell I Call My Home
No Friends, No Phone
No Life To Call My Own

Here I Will Lie
Until The Very Day I Die
Until My Blood Begins To Dry
And I Return To The Darkness From Whence I Came

So

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems

Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
I'm Exactly What I Seem

Luciana said...

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead.

So complicated,
Look how we all make it.
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Oh oh)

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we try, try, try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?

(Yeah! Oh!)
I'm pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
(You're perfect, you're perfect)
