Happy Christmas (Tour is Over)

I thought the title of this entry was smart and funny, effectively conveying the relief at another tour being over and done with in a winning and whimsical manner. But how many of you are going to miss the John Lennon reference and just puzzle at the "Happy Christmas| part? Ah well. Too late now to go changing it.

So, another tour bites the dust. This was a fun one, lots of people turning up, lots of glares and scowls and cakes and pictures and fist-bumps and many, many moody looks into camera... All in a day's work, really. Thanks to everyone who came along — it was tiring but I had a blast.

And now I'm home, and it's time to get organised.

There's going to be some cool news coming your way over the next few weeks and months. Some of it will make you go "Cool!" and some of it will make you grin. Some of it, of course, will make you weep, as it's coming up to that time when I'll have to start plotting out Book Nine. Most of you will still be reeling from the events of LSODM, so you'll know not to trust me. For some reason, the tagline from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is floating through my head...

"Who will survive, and what will be left of them?"

The good news is, now that the pressure of editing and touring is off, I'll be able to get back to my regular (ahem) blogging and Twitter routine, so I should be chatting to you guys a little more often than I have been. Hopefully.

The fact is, I'm going to be incredibly busy for the next year. Want a brief rundown on what I have ahead of me?

1) Plot, write and finish Book Nine by March.

2) Work on Mystery Project 2.

3) Write 10 brand new short stories for the Skulduggery Collection out next Summer.

4) Work on Mystery Project 3.

5) Devise, plan and start writing New Book Series by September 2014.

6) Work on Mystery Project 4.


All that, and blog and tweet and play with my nieces. Oh, and my nephew.

Nephew, you say? But Golden God, you don't HAVE a nephew. I do now, gentle Minion. Born this afternoon, weighing in at over 9 pounds, Baby Skulduggery is now part of my Baby Army of Terror, and he is to be feared.

(Okay fine, my sister hasn't OFFICIALLY named him Baby Skulduggery, but come on... How could she NOT?)

Well, I have nothing else to say to you now. Adra, do you have anything to say?

Noelle said...

*holds up a hand*
*writes*

It's a form if meditation that preserves my energy. It's oddly calming, expressing myself through actions. *shows him the lie symbol drawn on her hand*

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

Oh okay. *gets to the door* what would you like?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*wags her eyebrows, shrugging*

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

Slug Shrug? Are you sure? I heard it wasn't very nice.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*pokes him in the ribs, glaring*

Ebony Law said...

Can I ask a question about LSODM? It's not going to spoil ANYTHING, I just have to ask Adra something. It reveals nothing at all, I promise.

Noelle said...

*has already finished the book*

Ebony Law said...

I know. Adra, in the book, is Adrasdos supposed to be misleading? In her first entrance? Because that wasn't very nice.

Noelle said...

*isn't very nice*

*pokes Trip again*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*thinks* What if I wore a colour?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Fuck i fell asleep

Noelle said...

*cracks a grin at Val*

*points at Zaf*

Noelle said...

*waves a hand in front of Trip's face, poking his cheek*

Noelle said...

*sighs disappointedly*

*pushes him to a chair awkwardly propping him to a semi-comfortable position*

Noelle said...

*sits next to him, leaning against his side, sighing, yawning*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well okay....*looks bored*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sir said...

Good evening, Fabienne.

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

Hello Zaf and Sir!

Sir, if you were a musical instrument, what instrument would you be?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*waves from where she's sitting drowsily*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*holds Olivia close watching the stars* Olivia look baby...*smiles realizing Olivia is fast asleep* sleep tight my little angel..*plays with her hair*

Sir said...

I... Do not know what sort of instrument I would be.

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

[Waves to Adra]

Interesting, Sir. [Nods]

How is Olivia these days, Zaf?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

She's in her own world just crawling and annoying Alexis sometimes. *just looks at Olivia smiling* tiny person

Noelle said...

*yawns, covering her mouth* *blinks rapidly, feeling a major headache*

Sir said...

I suppose I'd be a cymbal, though it hardly qualifies as an instrument, due to the rather cacophonous situations that surround me, for whatever ridiculous reason.

Noelle said...

*head droops a tiny bit, barely conscious*

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

That's an interesting choice. [Nods]

[Laughs] Siblings.

[Tilts head at Adra] You look...tired.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*nods a fraction* *leans back, barely able to keep her eyes open*
*falls asleep*

Noelle said...

((*gives Sir a Jaws poster*))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*smiles* yeah they tease though Olivia doesn't get that Alexis will retaliate. *Olivia opens her eyes and looks around at were she is* Olivia whats up baby girl?

Sir said...

*sighs* Jaws. Why do you do this to me, Adrasdos...

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

Sleep well, Adra.

Alvard Nemesis said...

Hi guys

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Okay I swear Derek is freakin in love with Holly its almost 3:30am and he's on Twitter with her...he wants CUDDLES from her. This is frightening. NEWS ALERT: Derek Landy has something called feelings.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Anyone alive out there? *lays down on grass laughing so hard it hurts* I find it funny that Derek is up so late he's funny when tired! I poked him in the eye

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

I'm being distantly evil.

Not Derek-style evil, Norwegian-style, but still.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Nobody beats his style of evil. I refused to speak to him on my own terms. I only tweeted him once because Nikki wanted to be an Elder. Today was the first time I conversated slightly with him. I am not happy with him.

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

[Shrugs]

That's why I said not Derek-style evil.

[Laughs]

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oi! *giggles still laughing* I hope he doesnt try waking me up at 7am

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Damn I argued with Niccolò a lot over Mevolent. I still think I am right and he was wrong

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

[Shrugs]

I'm still here, just don't really have anything to respond to either of your comments.

Snow said...

my brother is cleaning his room and he just came out with a toy rabbit...

a toy rabbit, that, when a cord on it is pulled, spins around in a circle.

its so cute yet so useless...

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

[Grabs Snow by the shoulders and shakes]

LITTLE MIX

PERRIE

BTW, I SHIP ZERRIE

#ChaseForBook9

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

Cuteness isn't a use?

Also, it could entertain small children. That's a use. Possibly a diversion.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*nods at fab*

okay.

i know little mix but i didn't know the members names. they're an awesome band.

Snow said...

XD

*pokes toy rabbit*

YES LITTLE MIX IS AWESOME

Calidae Dark said...

* poof * I am here

Snow said...

*partys*

404 page views for my blog!!

that may not seem a lot, but it is to me, because it means that at least someone is reading it.

Snow said...

'ello Cal. sup?

Calidae Dark said...

Hey snow, congrats bout your blog ;)

I'm good, you?

Snow said...

fine.

*pokes cute-yet-pointless spinning bunny*

Calidae Dark said...

..I think ive missed something. Who's dizzy bunny is this?

Calidae Dark said...

..I think ive missed something. Who's dizzy bunny is this?

Snow said...

look up... it's kinda pointless explaining.

Calidae Dark said...

ah, the pointless stuffed bunny

Snow said...

*nods*

Calidae Dark said...

I want a bunny.
A real one, that is

Snow said...

yeah.

that would be better then this thing *points*

plus, it would do more then spin... and it would be real which would be a real bonus.

Calidae Dark said...

though I'd much prefer a dog
you can take them for walks without getting odd looks

Snow said...

:P

agreed.

Snow said...

g2g, bye!! *huggles*

*disappears into the shadows*

Calidae Dark said...

bye snow :)

Calidae Dark said...

I think ill be leaving now too
Adios!
* poof *

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

I dedicate this page, and then I toss all formatting aside and babble about things. Interpret as you will.

Could you walk ten miles in another person's shoes?
If not, you have no right to call them weak.
We all have our problems and our worries
And I'd like to think that no one is ever truly alone

I want to change the world
Instead, I sleep
All we can do is keep breathing
Keep breathing, my angel
Don't lose hope
You are perfect to me
You don't know-oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
And all your little things
You're not the only one, so let them criticize
You're untouchable when you realize
All we can do is keep breathing
And I will try to fix you
Who made that line? That line?
I'm trapped by my own design
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today


Mumble jumble and hoped that somewhere something in that helped. I could do something shorter, but I don't really like writing two-minute or less deds because I can and will do better. So yeah.

I dedicate this page to understanding each other and understanding ourselves, to fixing this mess, to peace and happiness.

So there was this one time I was carpooling with these ten-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, and the boy wouldn't shut up about violence, video games, et. cetera. So the rest of us decided that the car was a place of peace and happiness, and we said so in a calm voice, and it really annoyed him for some reason. Eventually, though, we were all cheerfully reciting Shakespeare together and it was all good!

I don't even know what I'm writing anymore, I really need sleep.

I also dedicate this page to the amount of time it took me to write this ded. Idk how much that was exactly, but I can make something up and say thirty-seven minutes. Yeah, I dedicate this page to thirty-seven minutes. That sounds good.

And to sleep and dreams. I don't know if I've ever mentioned how much dreams inspire me... When I was younger I had nightmares. Then I'd write them down and twist the plot around so everyone ended up okay. When I was eleven or twelve, my dreams became more advanced, with intricate histories, a balance of good and bad, and intriguing, if odd, plots. There was this one about a woman who was several hundred years old, but never knew love or friendship or anything because people would forget her as soon as they looked away. And then the one person who could see past her curse died tragically. Another was a car chase thing with these robots, and I actually informed the robots to let this one character escape to make the plot better. Another was Effie apprehending criminals in a magic ice cream truck. Also there have been murder mysteries, fantasy magic stuff, a pirate story or two, funny bits, lots of fire and volcanoes and more I can't remember. :-/

Anyway, I used to get all my writing ideas from dreams. So I dedicate this page to them.

Also to blueberry muffins. Because I can.

And finally to you guys. Without y'all, I wouldn't be here dedicating the page because if no one was in Blogland, I'd not have stuck around. And to Derek for posting brilliant stuff.

Also, I dislike my previous profile picture. It's too serious and lonely.

So I'll change it a few times to previous ones, see what I think.

Hello.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Argh, I'd forgotten gow this one looked . . . It's my phone lockscreen background, my laptop lockscreen background, and my cover art for Google+, so I'm used to it being huge. More blue when it's huge . . .

Star Inkbright said...

Where did my # go? My comments look funny without it. I don't like it. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Hmm.

*waves at people* COME ON AND GIVE ME AN OPINION!!!

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Not sure about this one . . . it looks too small on Blogger, for some reason, even though it looks small on YouTube comments.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

On the other hand, it is very bright and blue.

#ChaseFForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I sort of like this one.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

This one might be a bit too light.

I honestly prefer the Hand one but whatever works for you. I remember all of them and seeing them again is amusing.

On a different note, HELLO BLOGLAND.

*mutters at the lack of people and sits on the branch of a tree next to Chester*

Calidae Dark said...

* wanders in * I am here!Hello all

Zathract Mist said...

Hey, Dark!

Long time no see.

...I think.

Calidae Dark said...

That would probably be right. I was away for a while

Ebony Law said...

-appears out of darkness perched on top of the tree, dark circles under my eyes-

I'm here. You probably don't care, but I'm here.

Calidae Dark said...

Hey connor

Ebony Law said...

Hello, Calidae. Congrats on your position. As Grand Mage in... Does... Does New Zealand actually have a sanctuary? I know Australia does, but New Zealand is referred to as Australia's scarf, or Australia's eighth state. Like Canada is the USA's hat. And I've probably offended you. But to be honest, I love Kiwis. Their accents are awesome.

Calidae Dark said...

....I've decided to not be offended by that. But careful.

I kid :)

We are very determinedly our own country though. And yup, we have a sanctuary - I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in Book 8 even

Calidae Dark said...

msd

Zathract Mist said...

Ah, that's not what I meant. I've been away for months. But while I've been back occasionally of late, I've also been distant, so I don't remember if I'd seen you online at any of those times.

Hey, Dylan.

Yeah, New Zealand has a Sanctuary.

Ebony Law said...

Hey Zath.

Zathract Mist said...

I've finally finished the next Battle For Blogland chapter...

Now I have to find a theme for it.

Duck said...

Evenin' y'all!

Zathract Mist said...

Yo, Duck.

Duck said...

Yo yo, Zath!

Zathract Mist said...

What's happenin'?

Mary Contrary said...

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things?
Makes me wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well, when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon?
I don't wanna grow up


Sorry. I'm probably not really here, just lyrics-spamming.
I think I've decided what I like about Tom Waits' lyrics, aside from how they fit his voice, though, is how he doesn't seem to waste a word. There's nothing that should not be there? And that if I find a "Damn, that's good" line, it's not necessarily just prettiness or anything, but just because it's, like, right. He's clever with them, but doesnt overdo it. Idk. Not sure what I'm trying to say here. Sorry for random lyrics-ing and words. :P

I'm probably disappearing now, but I may be drifting/lurking.
But yeah. *suddenly tacklehugs everybody in turn*

#ChaseForBook9

Duck said...

I'm sick. It's terrible and it's the holidays. I HAVE BETTER STUFF TO DO THAN STAY IN BED, LOOK AT THE CIELING, WANDER AROUND THE HOUSE, AND REGULARLY GO TO THE LAVATORY!

So what's happening with you?

Calidae Dark said...

Hey Duck

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, holidays. Me too. Aussiminion?
Also, hope you get better soon.

Well, as I've said, I finally finished the next Battle For Blogland chapter and I'll probably post that soon. It's slightly unnerving that none of you newer minions have any idea what that is...

Other than that, things are pretty good.

Duck said...

HELOoOoOoOo CAL!

Calidae Dark said...

We've got one more week of school before our hols : /

Duck said...

Haha, New Zealanders. When will they learn...

Mary Contrary said...

*does not
Or *doesn't
Whichever

@Duck: I do all of those things both when ill and not-ill. Except the latter. You can keep that one.

(Also, I just typoed your name twice before I got it right. They were both pretty unfortunate typoes. You didnt read them, but apologies anyway - Sorry. :P)

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

@Taia hahaha you can just look down at your keyboard, both pretty obvious :P

Duck said...

Oh, you typed it with an 'i' didn't you? If anyone does accidentally post a comment with an 'i' and not a 'u', please, IMMEDIATLEY DELETE IT!
IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, BUT NEVER AGAIN!

Mary Contrary said...

Oh, well, hey, happy holidays to the all of you, then. :)

*Resists the urge to steal a little slice of holiday*
I'm in school, and battling more controlled assessments than I have food to fuel me for. The weekends are too short, as well. :P

@Calidae: Ha, yup. It's my inability to type on an iPod - It seems I'm still not improving. :P

#ChaseForBook9

Zathract Mist said...

Posted!

God it feels nice to have material to post. I haven't posted in ages...

Anyway, you people seem to be conducting your own conversation now so I'll just lurk in the shadows silently...

Duck said...

YOU CAN'T STEAL A SLICE OF MY HOLIDAY! I intend to use up every single bit. Sorry, can't share...

Mary Contrary said...

@Duck: I didn't, actually. :P
Just to clarify, though, I think your name rules. Ducks rule too. I had a whole few-year-long duck (I just did it again. twice. :P) -obsession in primary school. You also rule, so yeah. I'm just not great at typing. *nods* :]
I typo a lot of words. There were a few in this sentence alone. I just don't point all of them out. :)

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

@Zath: Hooray for writing! :)

@Duck: Sure, I'll go holiday-less. No worries. Half-term in about a month-ish, so that's cool. :3
And half-term, I believe, also means Sound/No Sound. *mini-cheers for The Company We Keep*

#ChaseForBook9

Duck said...

Taia thinks I rule. *beams proudly*

DEATH

HI

Jophiel said...

...

I'm not even supposed to be here. I left. Again. And I need to stick to it this time.

...

I need to do something to make it up to Em... I'm a little shit...

(In other words, hi Zath...))

Zathract Mist said...

I don't know what's been happening recently, but if I take a general assumption here, I think Em would very much appreciate you making whatever you did up to Em by staying, Death.

No one wants you to leave.

Jophiel said...

I've left too many times already... No one minds too much anymore...

Oh, crap. Did you hear? About me... And the hospital... And the wrists...?

Jophiel said...

I dedicate this page to Emerald Melody.

Em, sister, I've done a lot of bad crap in my life but nothing even compares to what I did to you yesterday. I've stolen, I've lied, I've betrayed my friends but I have never, ever hurt a sister.
You're always there for me, you opened up to me and I recognised it, I saw, I felt terrible that I'm making such a big drama out of something so tiny in comparison to my beautiful, amazing Irish sister's troubles. I just didn't know what to say. I can't handle it when people call me beautiful. It's like a knee-jerk reaction.

I can see what Zaffy was talking about a few weeks ago... I'm a diva. There is a part of me that wants all the light and attention and another part that hates me for it. All this time I've been using Blogland as my attention centre, creating dramas to get your eyes to turn to me. I'm a princess. I try to be all high and mighty and take all the attention off those who need it.

Em, I'm so sorry that I've put you through so much crap. I'm so sorry that I've stolen the limelight when you needed it so much more. I'm so sorry that I've been that bratty little sister everyone shudders to think of. But most of all, I'm sorry for hurting you.

So this page is all for my brilliant big sister.

I mind. I care. I'm not here very often, but for the sake of Blogland as a whole, I mind, Death.

...No... I didn't... And even though I've got the highest amount of concern and care for you, Death, I'd rather not be in on the specifics. I can pretty much assume what happened from there.
I really hope you're alright...

Jophiel said...

Blogland lived without me for years, it can do it again. Blogland was great, it was happy, it was an amazing place but a little after I first came on, it started dying. I'm not the only one who noticed that...

And yeah, I'm fine. I'm always fine. I've been through worse. Not really but those are both my mottos put together and they make me feel slightly better.

Zathract Mist said...

It lived without you for years only because you weren't there. Should you leave, you would leave behind a large hole where your figure should be. And Blogland didn't die. It changed - and it didn't change because you arrived. It was changing anyway, like Blogland always does. You might have heard talk of the generations of Blogland. We call them generations because there have been so many.

You don't ever see people like Gepard or ATB or Lilith on these days. Hell, you don't see Robin or Lynxia or Gabriel on these days. Bloglandians come and go like they always do. But change only happens when the time is right, Death. Your time here isn't over yet and you shouldn't force yourself into it. You don't burden this place, you add to it, and to fully see how much you contribute to this place would take being someone else for a day entirely. You can't imagine.

Jophiel said...

This is why I love you Zath, I swear your older than me... You're so mature and just your way with words... Wow...

But they go, I've had my fair share of time here, it's wearing me down. It hurts to be on. Something pulls at me and I don't know what it is. My diva self wants all the attention and I can't have that. I can't let myself get everyone's attention while other people need it more.

Jophiel said...

Oh, I'm meeting Allan Moffat tomorrow. I need to get my diary signed by him...

Duck said...

Alan? ALAN?!? But what about STEVE?!?

Zathract Mist said...

The attention side of things? I know how that feels, I do. I've done my time in that field, and I know what that feels like. And if it hurts to be here because of that, then that's perfectly fair enough. But don't call what might be the best option leaving. Maybe you don't feel like the people here like you, or maybe you feel like they don't deserve you. Both of those things are false, but I understand feeling that way.

In which case, by all means, take a break. Distance yourself from this place if that's what's going to help you. It makes sense and it's what I did. Just make sure you come back.

But if you do take a break, I want you to promise me something. Find someone, or multiple someones, to help you. Because the people here keep you up. I've seen it, and it helps, and you've been stopped. And if you're not here to let them help you, I don't want to think about what could happen. You mentioned the wrists, and that's a perfect example. You need people, Death. Because you shine and you contribute, and you add to people's lives more than you know. And I realise that you don't see that some of the time, if not all of the time. But take my word for it, because it's true. If I'm saying it, it's true, and I don't let these phrases out lightly.

You need people to show you that that side of you not only exists, but radiates. You're not perfect - no one's perfect, but who the fuck wants perfect anyway? You are you, though. And you're brilliant. So please. If you take a break, find someone to show you that.

People don't generally like me... It's going to be hard... Last time I told someone, she told all my teachers and they look at me funny, still...

Jophiel said...

And Duck, Allan Moffat is better than Steven any day. We have a John Goss because my folks loved him so much. Allan Moffat is an Aussie racecar driver. Mum met him today. She was so happy. I'm going to get my arm signed. And my book, hopefully...
