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.

*glances over her shoulder* Eejit. *the path becomes inclined, and a rock juts out, causing Adra to fall*
*she struggles to get up, breathing heavily*
I'm not athletic at all... It's too hard to breathe in here. You go up ahead first...

*stumbles* go on ahead,I'll make it out... Just... trying to breathe...

Unfortunately, most of it is stone, so...

Snow said...

*unicorn gallops in*
TO THE LAVA!!
*unicorn splashes in lava and starts to freeze it*

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

..........Fine. If you're really going to be ok. *runs out of tunnel into fresh air*

#ChaseForBook9

son of the moon said...

No problem. [Frowns in concentration] It's good to help at least a little.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Yay! Craziness returns to the story! It got so, so dark.

#ChaseForBook9

*climbs out and falls onto the ground, gasping at the fresh air* OH MY LORD AIR.

Snow said...

everyone knows that unicorns are fire-resistant and can freeze things on touch if they feel like it... *shrugs*

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

*kneels beside Adra* You ok?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah, I think I am.
*frowns*

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

(Not really Snow, I assumed you rode to us on a very fast unicorn)

*Lies on grass, laughs.* I'M ALIVE!

#ChaseForBook9

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

*feels blood pour from nose.* I'm sorry, I deserved that.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

(hmm.... more like a teleporting unicorn)

Snow said...

*stares at trip*
you got a little something... *gestures to face*
*shrugs* everywhere

son of the moon said...

It's okay, Snow. You randomly appeared because of he magic unicorn! :-)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

He deserved it. And I promised him I'd break his nose, about seven pages back. Here we are now.

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

Actually you promised three times. And tried to slap me twice. *smiles*

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

meh... not my concern, though i am worried for him.... blood is not a good look for anyone

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

I'm, I'm sorry for being so rude in the afterlife. It's hard for the mind to operate without a brain. But still, sorry.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Eh Snow, I'll recover. It's not like I haven't ever broken my nose before.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*lays in the grass*
...Fine.

What was it like?

Snow said...

*goes to hug trip*
* realizes theres blood all over him*
*thinks twice*
*settles for patting him on the back*

i'm sure anyone of us would have been a little rude too

Noelle said...

Don't forget I tried to stab you as well... *grins*

son of the moon said...

[Laughs]

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hobbit Medic: Lord, as good as it is to have you back, I need to take a look at your nose.

No you don't. You need to look at Arra's ribs and Zaf's burns. I'm fine.

Hobbit medic: They're all the same! All the bloody same!

#ChaseForBook9

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

*laughs* Well, you can punch me twice and slap me twice, but I wouldn't mind if the stabbing was kept to a minimum.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

(i'm supposed to be writing a new chapter for a book we read...)

right.... hobbit medic... *stares*

i've never met an actual hobbit before

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

Well, there are seven armies of them back at the main area, I'm surprised you missed them.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

i... i think i want to hug it... *hugs hobbit medic*

son of the moon said...

I have to go, sorry. [hugs anyone who wants a hug]

Glad you're all alive. :-)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

He's very small, isn't he.
And fix Zaf first. She's in critical condition.

Noelle said...

(bye Arden!)

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

*Hobbit Medic Hugs back* Hobbit Medic: Her, not it if you please.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Bye Arden!

So, Adra, you want to take those free hits now or...

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

sorry!

*smiles*

hey... trip.... could you ask some of your most friendly hobbits over??

Snow said...

(bye arden!)

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

*Hobbit medics swarm Zaf, applying balms bandages and other medicines. Tim the hobbit medic walks up to Adra*
Tim: I could still help you if you want?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Um, sure Snow.

Jim, Goeff, Jack, Tibathy, Cherstleton and Steve, get over here you loveable lugs!

*to Tim* In a second, good sir...

*punches Trip multiple times and slaps him* Idiotic, dumb,thick, dull...Moron

Snow said...

*smiles at trip*

i find hobbits kinda cute!

Snow said...

ADRA!!!! could you please refrain from hitting trip while his followers are around?

Noelle said...

NO!

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

Ooooooow. Yep, I'm sorry. Forgive me for being a jerk in the afterlife and not considering peoples feelings enough when formulating plan B?

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

ADRA!!!!

*pulls adra back*

please.... *begs*

i'll give you cookies...?

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

No Snow, it's only fair. I was being all of those things.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*sighs*

i just hate un-necessary violence....

now, hitting bad guys, i can do

Noelle said...

You didn't care that you were dying? You weren't supposed to! Do you know what would have happened had you just let Rhydian die? He's have come back to life!

Snow said...

................ *disides to stand back and let this happen*

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

*mutters* I had plan B...


#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Oh yeah! That worked out PERFECTLY because you decided not to tell us what it was until you already put it into action.

Snow said...

* whispers to hobbit medic*
are they always like this??

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

You would have objected if I had told you before! Would you have let me die to save someone else?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hobbit medic: Well, from what I heard, they bickered a LOT in the afterlife, so maybe.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

No! Because.... BECAUSE... Rhydian was going to live!

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

How? He shot himself in the face!

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*whispers to hobbit medic*
they sound like an old couple bickering...

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

Hobbit medic: You took the word right out of my mouth.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

But then he was going to be healed with phoenix tears! but NOOO! Besides, I was using alchemy at the time you decided to have your little soul-sway escapade, and you are SO LUCKY that nothing happened to your soul.

Snow said...

*whispers to medic*
trip and adra, sitting in a tree....

*curses... i think they heard me*

Snow said...

** *curses* i think they heard me

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

The pheonix tears, and I quote, "Helped but couldn't save him"!

Noelle said...

*glares at snow*

Nobody waited long enough to see, thanks very much to you.

Snow said...

*whispers* okay, i think it's time to end this

*shouts* ENOUGH!!

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

He was on the brink of death, it was then or never!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

NO!!!!

Noelle said...

Even so, phoenix tears and alchemy were enough to at least wait a second!

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

Sorry snow...

Adra, you should get those ribs looked at...

#ChaseForBook9

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

Why do you care so much? I'm alive aren't I? We all are!

#ChaseForBook9

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

I'm sorry, that was a foolish thing to say...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

NO WE'RE NOT! Zaf's in critical condition! And lots of people were hurt! Not to mention, YOU WERE DEAD. Excuse me if I was worried!

*glares* no. Not until I'm finished with you

Noelle said...

Damn right it is.

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

I do, understand why you care about it so much, because I'm your friend and I recklessly threw away my life then acted as if it were nothing.

I'm sorry.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Wait, did you just say Zaf is in critical condition? Somebody tell me what happened to her right now

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*glares at snow* You're not helping.
*looks to Trip* AND YOU'RE NOT OFF THE HOOK

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

All the hundreds of thousands of Hobbits: *laugh their faces off at Ari*

Adrip forever!

Snow said...

(jubi... *hugs*)

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

I like Hobbits!


Cute is NOT what I would've used though...

Noelle said...

Zaf gut burned when a volcano exploded *pointed look at Trip*

WE're awaiting word now.
*looks at medic* What's up with my side?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yes! Adrip! I ship that really hard!! *is not even bothering to whisper anymore*

But seriously somebody please tell me what happened to Zafira!

#ChaseForBook9

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

Um, well, getting ressurected may have involved lava. Zaf may have jumped in that lava because she thought I was re-dying...

The hobbits are taking care of her though, she's fine.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I ship it too Jubi XD
*hobbles over to hobbit and chews leaf*
That's better :)
Adrip is a good ship name...

#CHaseFOrBook9

Snow said...

*smiles at adra*

*whispers to medic*
tell her she's dying...

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

*Laughs so hard* You guys... I'm having to stop myself laughing out loud because everyone else is asleep.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

You're sure she's ok, then? *nods* Alright. But I don't envy whoever has to tell Javier.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hobbit medic: Tempting...

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Trip, if i's your fault Zaf is dying, I will toss you right back in that volcano.

#ChaseForBook9

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

That's gonna be me isn't it?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*looks at Snow* WHAT????
(omg I'm crying irl you guys)

Snow said...

*smiles a dazzling smile*

zaf should be fine... i hope

trip, you still have blood all over you...

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

Well, this is All My Fault. So I guess it is my fault. But she's not dying! She's stable! *hobbit medic runs over and whispers something in ear* And making a fine recovery for someone who jumped in lava!

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*whispers to medic*
go on, do it... you know you want to...

Noelle said...

*looks at Trip's nose* that would be all my fault...

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I'm crying with laughter irl. Is that it or are you sad that Snow is trying to convince you you're dead?

Trip, you got yourself into this mess. You're the one who's explaining it to Javier.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Oh yeah, I should get that checked out...

(LOL!!!!! I might suffocate from laughter here!)

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

hmm.... hey, trip *hands a wipe*
use this to clean up

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*sighs* I'm not sure I'll ever understand why people stress it so much to other people when they think something is their fault.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Finally! Someone agrees with me! This IS all my fault!

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Thank you for healing me nice hobbit *smiles*

Noelle said...

Seriously, though. Medic. What's the verdict? Am I good? Clean break? Bleeding to death this whole time? Am I a dead woman?

SPEAK

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

Because this was a matter of life and death.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I personally hate it more when something IS someone's fault and they deny it than when they apologise endlessly...

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*glares at everyone*
shame on you, it's not trips fault, nor anyone elses!!


*whispers to medic*
go on, tell her she's dying... please? she might do something rash, like tell trip she loves him!!

*grins*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Adra, I think that's the mute hobbit
#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I have a feeling this is about to get really deep, really fast.

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

Hobbit medic: Chew these leaves twice a day and take these pills every lunchtime. We could do an invasive bone fusing surgery, but without any general anaesthetic to hand, you could take serious harm from the shock.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

...Hobbit... Mute... THEN WILL SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE. Snow, you're not helping me.

Snow said...

*grins*

sorry adra.... i cant help it :D

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Looks at Snow* *whispers* Yes! Great idea to start the official Adrip romance!

Adra... I think you're dying of internal bleeding :'(

Noelle said...

Ah...

*pops the leaves in her mouth*

...Shit. I hate hospitals.

*glares at Trip*

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

Adra, this isn't already super deep? You guys all nearly died in the afterlife. That was seriously dark.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

It's not the feeling of self-responsibility or desire to apologize that I don't understand, it's just the repetition of the phrase 'all my fault'.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

...That's true. Maybe not deeper now...

*shivers* I hated that place.

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

(That's a character thing, just dramatics.)

#ChaseForBook9

*high-fives saph*

*whispers to saph*
we make a great team

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I've seen deeper than nearly dying in the afterlife... *grim laughter* You should read my stories...

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Ari; I don't really understand that either *shrugs*
Adra; I the that place too :( I've been there twice an I never want to go there again

how much do you bet i could get adra to kiss him?

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Snow; I bet you 5 virtual cookies you can't. They're more of a private couple, don't you think?

Noelle said...

*hand-hugs Aretha*

Saph- When I was... Lost, let's say, there were creatures in there. Awful creatures, clearly not human. But they screamed. Men, women, children... But then there was a screech from something- not human. I don't know what it was but it was the most terrifying sound I had ever heard. It was completely dark in there as well. There were strange monsters and creatures in there, and they would bump into me, or claw me, but I couldn't fight them at all...

It was hell. And I hate it.

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

Hobbit medic: *roll around laughing*

#ChaseForBook9

*slyly*
adra.... if you dont kiss trip now, zaf will die! she needs the power of love to save her
*winks at saph and medic*

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

Well Adra, at least you weren't a shadow of your former self, doomed to live there for all eternity.

#ChaseForBook9

Yeah right. As if I'd let you.

Adra; I thought I could hear my sister in there. I called and called for her, but I never found her.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*nods at Adra's comment to Saph* I've actually been in pretty much the exact same situation.

I don't what? Take enjoyment from being shipped with a person who I've essentially been arguing with non-stop for days? If we were characters, I would hip us! Because it would be hilarious! Just like Spock and Mcoy!
