It's Fun Being a Writer

I get to create stories for a living. I get to daydream for a job. I also, fair enough, have to work extremely hard and cocoon myself in solitude until the book is finished, but that's beside the point. The point is, I get to be a writer, which is something so few people who ALSO want to be writers get to do.

I've just made the very last changes to LSODM I can possibly make. We're in the final type-setting stage now— that is when they take the words you've written in the manuscript and arrange them onto a book page, ready to be printed. And I now know how many pages there are going to be...

KOTW was 607 pages in the hardback version. LSODM, which is a little under 30,000 words longer, will be... ready for this?... it will be...

604 pages.

Woohooo!!!!!

Now, wait a moment, before you scratch your heads and ask how does that work, it is quite simple. If they had continued to use the same font size as they used from the very start, my publishers would be releasing a book of, according to my vague and approximate mathematical skills, 900 pages. Which is a tad BIG.

So instead they've just reduced the size of the font, to squeeze more words in. Yay! You'll be able to lift up the book when you read it! Result!

Anyway, where was I?

Yes, now that I have approved the type-setting pages, and sent in the dedication and the author biography, I can now get back to the business of being a writer. Which is, y'know, to write... and stuff...

Coming up very soon, I have a non-Skulduggery short story to write, I have to start planning out Book Nine in greater detail (and actually get started on it), and I need to write a load of Skulduggery mini-adventures for the short story collection, in 2014.

But right NOW, my main focus is on another non-Skulduggery short story, for a collection that'll be coming out in the winter of next year. I've been thinking about this for a while now, trying to figure out what to write. It can be any genre, any style... My options are unlimited. But, see, that's where the problem lies.

Limitations are useful. If I'd been told that my story had to be, say, dystopian future sci fi, then I'd have nodded and gone off and written a great dystopian future sic fi story. But because it CAN be a dystopian future sci fi OR a modern day fantasy OR a comedy about a kettle shop OR a first person narrative about a boy who has lost his dog... I now have too many options. How can I settle on one idea if I might find a better one in a different genre?

Before I wrote Skulduggery Pleasant, I embarked upon a hundred half-finished and abandoned stories, books and scripts. Any of you who write will know what I'm talking about. We flit from story to story because we get bored or we get a better idea or this one we're writing now is just not working, or it's too hard, or it's not coming out like we wanted... We flit because our imaginations are running too wild. Our creativity will not settle down.

But of course it won't. It's imagination. It's creativity. Their whole purpose is to go crazy. Their whole purpose is to run wild. But we, as writers, need to get on our horses and gallop after them, lasso them, pull them back, slow them down and herd them into a pen (and this is where the metaphor gets extravagant, as this is both a livestock pen AND an author's pen). We don't want them tame, of course we don't. We want them rearing and kicking— but we want them to do it in that enclosure, within those boundaries and those limitations. That's the only way we'll be able to use that creativity to write a story.

So, that's what I'm doing now. I'm thinking about limitations, and boundaries, and genres. What do I WANT to write about? What style do I WANT to write in? What genre? Once I know all that I'll be able to think of a story and a character and sit down and write the damn thing.

Nice ded, Trip! [high fives everyone]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Trip, your whispering has a lot to be desired

Hmmm. *scratches the back of her head* Tweet Derek that you're stalking him.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh, yeah, sorry- since I'm here, Alastair might very well be watching... Actually, I think the only thing he doesn't do is read my emails.
Wait, when you guys say defeat, you don't mean you're trying to kill him... Are you?

#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Alastair, yes. Niccolo, no.

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

Okay then. Assuming Twitter will work. [goes to try]

#ChaseForBook9

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

Not kill. Well maybe kill. Beat. I wouldn't mind punching him a lot though...

#ChaseForBook9

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

[Shrugs]
I'm not sure if that was mentioned in the plan.

#ChaseForBook9

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

And done, Adra.

Ari, are you playing?

#ChaseForBook9

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

I'm playing!

#ChaseForBook9

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

Okay then, Trip, truth or dare?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

How...? Well, you probably can't tell me on here. I guess, if there's anything more you guys need to know, you can ask me. I know Niccolò pretty well. But how do you guys know whatever you're going to try will work? I mean, I hate Alastair as much as the next guy- no, actually, a lot more than that- but I won't risk Niccolò's life.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Oh, I feel cowardly, truth.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'll play!

Noelle said...

Because what's going to happen next is, well... Top secret.

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

Okay then, Trip. If you were standing upside down on top of a twelve-foot tall volcano, would you remember to bring snacks?

[...I'm rubbish with truths. XD]

Um, yeah, we can't tell you here. And we don't know it'll work, but it's a plan everyone seems to agree on, and I can't think of how I would avoid it if I were Niccolo. Though, there is something we still might have to worry about...

#ChaseForBook9

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

No. I would be too preoccupied by being able to stand upside down. I can't do that at the moment.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Interesting. [nods at Trip]

Star Inkbright said...

[Sorry, I disappeared to get a tea and ended up having a conversation with my dad about the origins of tea and conjoined twins.]

[I don't even think I'm here . . .

Yeah, I'm going. :(

Hopefully see you awesome people tomorrow before I leave? *hugs*

I hate how I haven't been here hardly at all for this awesome roleplaying this week, but I've just been SO BUSY.

Oh well.

HOPEFULLY IT'LL STILL BE RUNNING STEADY COME NEXT WEEK.

Fours!
Don't forgoet - you're all awesome and I love you all. *hugs*

Aretha! Truth or Dare?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Um... Dare? I never do those, so yeah. Dare.

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

I dare you... to do a facekeyboard? Is that what you call it?

*gets up* Anyone need a refill?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I do! That is, if you don't mind :)

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

Not at all. *goes and gets more coke and gives it to Adra.* There you go! Anyone else?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Ok. Um... *tries to think of interesting truth*

Noelle said...

Thanks dear! :)

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

No trouble. *takes a swig of tumblefizz*

#ChaseForBook9

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

Aretha! Did I get you a drink?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Actually, guys I'm just saying but fttb, we should keep our guards up... Just in case, you know?

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

Probably one who died in the book they were in...

Maybe Junai from Tamora Pierce's Trickster's Choice/Trickster's Queen. She's the first one who comes to mind... If you ask me again when I'm in a different mood, though, I might answer differently.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

No, but I don't drink. Thanks anyways, though, Trip. I just hate the taste of alcohol- and technically I'm underage, anyway.

#ChaseforBook9

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

Ah! We'll be fine!

#ChaseForBook9

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

I have soft drinks too! In fact, I have any drink imaginable.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*raises coke* He doesn't have just alcohol, you know.

And Trip, where did the cautious guy from earlier?

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

Sorry I'm distant...

Adra, does "keeping our guard up" involve stopping the game? If not, truth or dare?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*go

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

He ran from the alcohol.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Dare. Totally.

And no, it doesn't! Just be aware that he might show up

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

Just kidding, I'm not drunk. I'm just more relaxed in my pub.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Alright then... Could I have a root beer? Only if it's not too much trouble, of course! I wouldn't want to bother you...

#ChaseForBook9

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

Aretha! Here, I'm a bartender! Of course it's no trouble! *goes and gets root beer, and gives it to Aretha.* There you go.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Okay then.

I dare you to comment a random fact in pig-Latin, replacing every fifth letter with a number.

Not sure why.

And okay. [nods]

Noelle said...

(Sorry guys)

I said that I'll tell you when it gets closer to go time, Zaf! Good lord!

Are you sure you don't just not like whiskey? This is from the magical wheelbarrow.

You know, Zaf... This plan might not even work. A whole day on the blog.. *shrugs* wasted. But we'll get him. And avenge the others

First comment.

I dedicate to our plan working. And everything else. And staying true to ourselves, and letting good triumph evil.

We're the heros right? The good guys?
And here we are, at a bar, waiting for the bad guy to make a show. How pathetic. But you know, I have to say it's worth it. I've grown closer to you guys. And even though Zaf and I just blew up in each others faces, we're still friends. Relationships like that don't come around that often, so we best hold on to them while we can.

*raises glass*
To being better than who we are now, and being true to our beliefs. And to saving the world.

To avenge someone = To get revenge on the person who killed that someone.

Well, the sun's set. I'm going to start a bonfire... And hope I don't go up in flames from that whiskey.
