Mystery Project One

A few weeks ago, I outlined my writing schedule for the next year or so. Included in this outline were Mystery Project numbers two, three and four. I never mentioned Mystery Project One, because that had already been completed. Today, I am finally allowed to talk about it...

This year is the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. To celebrate, Puffin Books asked eleven different authors to take a Doctor and write a story. When I was asked, I said I'd only do it if I could write for the tenth or eleventh incarnation. Puffin gave me Ten. I was a happy bunny.

It was such a joy to write this character. As you all know, I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid, and David Tennant holds joint top-spot with Matt Smith as my favourite Doctor. In my opinion, it was Tennant's era when the Doctor's love of dialogue really came out— that quick-fire patter that he does so well — and it was an absolute pleasure to channel that.

The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage will be released as an e-book on October 23rd (my birthday! Skulduggery's deathday!) and then it, along with the other stories, will be collected into a PHYSICAL book which will be out near the end of November.

There will be a video released in a week or two where I talk more about it, but in the meantime, here's a link to a snippet (which explains where the somewhat old-fashioned title comes from...)

As Derek's daughter (Twitter-daughter) I declare tomorrow October 4th National Dolly Day! Holly has accepted that our god the one and only Derek Landy has hopelessly fallen in love with her.

Jophiel said...

Poor Holly...

I dreamed that it was my birthday and everyone refused to gives presents... Unless being pushes in front of a train and being cut in half is considered a present...))

I had a dream that a plane crashed at my school, flew up (as if the drivers still had control) and it happened a few times...

I actually think I experienced two dreams similar to that, but they were spaced apart by a few other dreams, but those escape my memory at the moment...

((I literally only have about 30 seconds to write this, but, idea!! A fanfic challenge where you have to write a chapter where the dialogue is all song lyrics (thoughts count too), and you try to make it natural and stuff. And we could do songs by all of our favorite artists, and also silly songs like Call Me Maybe. Must leave now bye))

Good evening, Blogland.

Hi Sir! *hugs*

Noelle said...

Sir said...

I apologize for disappearing in such a crass fashion, yet matters I was forced to pay attention to suddenly lumbered out of the gloom.

Noelle said...

*nods* I understand. *gestures to a chair* Take a seat, stay a while. We have cocoa and s'mores.

Sir said...

I believe I shall abstain from eating or drinking.

Noelle said...

Ah- right, that isn't your gist. Well in the least, you could sit down?

Sir said...

Of course, Adrasdos.
*proceeds to do so*
So then, how do you fare upon this hour?

Noelle said...

Ah, if I told you, I believe it would ruin everything. Yourself? Although I suppose with my response you shouldn't feel to indulge in my question as well..

Sir said...

Well, Adrasdos, you have certainly raised my concern, now. Pray, explain the aspects of your situation which you believe prudent to divulge.

Noelle said...

No, it's just- to not go into a lot of detail and stuff, because honestly I don't feel like being more depressed, I just don't feel all that good for multiple reasons.

But I digress

Sir said...

*sigh*

Truly, it can feel as if one has the weight of the world on one's shoulder, at times.

Yet fear not, for at least here we are at the calm of the storm.

Noelle said...

*pauses*

I think the only reason I understood that was because I just read a ton of Dickinson...

Sir said...

Ah, Dickinson. A very interesting author.

Noelle said...

She was... I felt a Funeral in my Brain- I don't recall ever being so terrified of a poem before. For multiple reasons- most of them not being the actual words, rather, the structure

Sir said...

Indeed. Though I shall admit to not being the greatest connoisseur of poetry, some of her work resonates with me.

Snow said...

(( hi...))

Sir said...

Greetings, Snow.

Snow said...

(( just had to come on to tell adra something: in my sub-plot thingy i may charge at you and Trip randomly, shooting a gun. this is because i have finally revealed who the "man" was. said "man" was dusk. and he has asked me to kill you. i will probably elaborate on that some other time, but i thought you should know.))

((BTW, i am now gone))

Noelle said...

Hi Snow

*nods*
*sips her drink*

Sir said...

Still, I do believe that she, as with all authors, poets, and playwrights, is not infallible. I do believe many of her works are quite over-analyzed, though that may merely be my own opinion, and some of her poems simply are do not resonate nearly as well as others. Then again, I suppose poetry can be largely considered subjective.

Noelle said...

Poetry is a gray area where interpretation lies...

*shrugs*
Hmm...

*almost wants to turn on music*

Sir said...

Feel free, Adrasdos. I doubt that you shall pick any songs that I would dislike, and even if you did, I could quite easily tune it out.

Noelle said...

Since you have a human body, do you think you'll finally dance with me?

Sir said...

I honestly do not understand why you insist upon a dance.

Noelle said...

*grins* Because I've danced with most everyone in blogland- save you

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Because my last thingy was really unclear, and now I've better formulated the idea- I'm thinking of a blog where you can challenge people to write songfics. But that's a really bad description. Basically, I could challenge Adra to write a fic with the characters Adra and Darla and the song Call Me Maybe, and then Adra would have to write a piece with the characters Adra and Darla, and it would be just like a normal chapter except that Adra would somehow have to fit every line of Call Me Maybe into it. Thoughts?))

Sir said...

Well, I suppose you shall have to wait a while longer- Unless you are dead-set, that is.

Noelle said...

Why waiiiit?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Cool! Thanks! I'll work on setting that up.))

Noelle said...

Sir said...

Because, Adrasdos, I... Well, I suppose I cannot give a reason, yet I simply can't, right now. Perhaps when my attention is less divided.

I just realised I haven't eaten anything all day... I'm not hungry though... Food is overrated..

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

Hello Rose :)

Jophiel said...

Sup Zaffikins?

Sir said...

Good morning, afternoon, or indeed evening, Blogland.

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

Not much im going to bio soon but omfg the halls.....

Jophiel said...

Sorry... I'm very distant...

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

Its ok Rose

Jophiel said...

*Smiles and hugs Zaf* I'm different. I haven't ate anything since... The day before yesterday. I'm not hungry...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Am I alone? How unfortunate. Or perhaps someone is lurking in the shadows, planning exactly how to rear their head.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

No, it seems that I truly am alone, and not just in the figurative sense.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Shall I continue to spam the general vicinity? I think so.

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

Im here i think

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Greetings, Miss Kerias! How are you feeling today?

Jophiel said...

Guys, I'm actually quite concerned... I haven't are anything in the past 48 hours and I'm not hungry...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Miss September has done the same before, Miss Rose.

I have a quick question so I (or rather she) can diagnose you more effectively: Is this the first time this has happened?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Another question: Does looking at food make you feel sick?

Jophiel said...

Yes. It's the very first time. I tried to force myself to eat but I've lost my appetite. I had to spit the food back out. My folks don't know about it though...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Okay. I need to know the answer to my second question, though.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂That needed umbrellas.☂

Jophiel said...

Yes. Food is disgusting. Even bacon didn't make me hungry...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂I think I know what's happening.☂

Have you had a lot of anxiety recently, or are you around something you associate with angst?

Jophiel said...

No... Not really... A few weeks ago I was stressed out of my mind but I'm fine now... Probably not sleeping enough...

Jophiel said...

I've been erring about 3 hours of sleep every night for the past week... I just can't sleep...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂I actually think if you were tired you would be more hungry, but I'm not sure.☂

☂Hm.☂

☂See, there used to be this thing a while ago that caused me a lot of stress. And at one point, I didn't eat for three days because looking at food made me sick. So what happened was I just waited it out, got the thing that gave me stress over with and put it out of my life, and my appetite returned.☂

☂But now, whenever I get even slightly panicky, my brain subconsciously remembers that I lost my appetite the first time, so if I'm worried I can't eat.☂

☂That doesn't sound like what you have, unless anxiety runs in your family.☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂But I think yours is stress of some sort. It really sounds like building anxiety.☂

Jophiel said...

No, we don't have anxiety in my family... I've got a fair bit if homework to do within the next three days but I can do that easy. Maybe the pressure of my family (mum) trying to make me write a book? That's pretty stressful... But I don't know...

The scariest bit about it is, I have no fat/muscle on me. I can't gain either... And I've already lost two kilograms so now I'm back to 45kg. For a fifteen year old, that's not healthy.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Hm...☂

☂I think that it might be your mum's pressure...☂

☂Or maybe you're just feeling overwhelmed by EVERYTHING.☂

☂And about the no weight thing......☂

☂...I don't know. I can only say that anorexic women around the world would love to be you.☂

☂Do you eat a lot of food normally? Healthy or unhealthy food? Are you tall?☂

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

Roseyou ought to tell your oarents....try forcing something like a pretzel you need something. Try drinking water too, stay hydrated uhm msd

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂By the way, it's entirely possible that you're quite ill.☂

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

And Rose im 15 i weight 90lbs

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Zaf, I've had something like this too, you can't force yourself to eat. It's seriously impossible. But I agree with the water--drinks LOTS. Can you get smoothies down?☂

☂DID YOU GET A 1 OR 2 ON YOUR TEST????????☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Oh, and hi :p☂

Jophiel said...

I'm about 5'5, 5'6... I usually eat heaps of food because I have a super quick metabolism... I eat more than my dad... And everyone envies me because that food does nothing to me. But I hate it. I hate me.
I'm going to tell my parents tomorrow... They'll probably be angry at me but I tried to eat some bacon that my little brother cooked and had to spit it out... I was going to throw up otherwise... Ugh...

Jophiel said...

Nope. Not even smoothies. I brought a thick shake down the street and then put it in the big... All food is repulsive... Water tastes gross... I haven't drank any... All day.

Anonymous said...

@Ember: I got a 1!! Means, I got Sherlock! But I still can't watch it today because I'm here now. And you are more important than Sherlock. (Hope he didn't see that :P)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂It's anxiety. Do you have any ideas on how to get away from it? Because otherwise, if you let it, this thing will consume you and you will not be able to eat.☂

☂If you CANNOT escape it, no matter where you go, who you see, who you pretend to be, blah blah, then YOU WILL HAVE TO FORCE YOURSELF TO EAT.☂

☂Because this is mental. This is all in your head. A stupid chemical malfunction and you CAN beat this.☂

☂Don't bother telling your parents unless you know for a fact this has happened to them before. They'll just put extra pressure on you and it'll make it worse.☂

☂If keeping it a secret is making it worse, though, do tell.☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Aw, thank you Mith!☂

☂☂hugs Mith☂☂

☂AND GOOD JOB!☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Also, about the smoothies, I thought so.☂

☂Look. it's like my panic attacks and people with OCD. And maybe even depression, but you'd be a better one to think about that than me.☂

☂If you give importance to it, it destroys you. If you just treat it as "Oh look I'm sick. Never mind. Never mind." THEN it might be better.☂

☂Also, while you're eating, don't think about it. Watch television. Watch a movie. Read a book. If your parents won't let you, eat/drink something upstairs reading a book or watching TV when they're not looking.☂

☂You can break the association.☂

Anonymous said...

*reads back* Oh... I think I'll go quiet for some time... because I'm not good at saying things that could help... Sorry.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂By the way, I'm not saying it's going to be easy or that you'll be weak if you can't do it. It's fucking hard. Barely anybody can do it, myself included for a while. But I do know that it works, because that's the only way I ate after those three days.☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂It's okay, Mith! You can stay :)☂

Jophiel said...

I don't know what in anxious about though... I don't tend to get anxious... Not even when I go in front of the school to sing...

My parents probably won't have any idea but they will notice how thin I am. I'm beyond flat now. I can see all my rib cage... It's kinda gross...

And I don't think I can force myself to eat. I tried to and almost threw up. I haven't thrown up in years... Ick...

I think I will try and get some sleep, ok? The lack of sleep probably isn't helping myself...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂What I really need to do is set up a system with Adra/Anni.☂

☂Because I was thinking WE (you and I, Mith) could come up with where THEIR time machine went, and either one of them could come with where OUR time machine went, and then we could give each other a list of options and we'd have to find ours before they found theirs and so on.☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Maybe.☂

☂But the truth is that you won't actually throw up.☂

☂Say that to yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and say "I dare you to throw up. I dare you."☂

☂You can retch for a while. Stand in front of the toilet.☂

☂But you won't throw up.☂

☂(And if you do you will hopefully earn instant support from everybody, so you win either way)☂

☂Shut up.☂

*sighs*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂:p☂

☂I am going to ded first, and then you can do the second half, okay?☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂I dedicate to fear.☂

☂Fear is something really useful and something we can't live without, but at the same time it can be something that tears us apart and that kills us.☂

☂The important thing is learning how to manage your fear, because at the end of the day, it's there to help you. It may be a stupid troublemaker half the time, but it truly loves you.☂

☂Sometimes our fears hold us back from doing the right thing or from doing something we love for no reason, and that's not good. But fear doesn't know that. So you have to discipline it. Tell it you don't want it sometimes. Star, if you're reading this, thank you. I dedicate this page to you as well.☂

☂But fear, like I said, can be amazing. It can motivate people to do incredible things. A world without fear is a world without excitement, a world without joy, a world without love, a world where we can never truly have accomplished anything.☂

☂And sometimes, fear can consume you. And it can be difficult to overcome. But it's always worth it.☂

☂If you ever feel overwhelmed by fear, remember this: fear is your tool. You have control over your emotions. You can change your habits. And never fear the fear. Challenge it. Tell it that you dare it to hold you back, dare it to make you scared. Make your fear as bad as it possibly can be and THEN it will decline. Go all out. Show it who the fuck is boss.☂

☂You are.☂

☂I also dedicate this page to Mycroft Holmes, his new wife, and his umbrella.☂

☂And to all of you who've ever helped me, whether you know it or not, including Deathy for cheering me up and for making me want to be a regular in the first place back in December, Ari for letting me talk to her that day when I was worrying about my violin, Adra for telling me (and showing me!) to just roll with it because things turn out well in the end, Star for letting me rant a little about my panic attacks, Fabi for just listening to my VARIOUS VARIOUS RANTS and for being an amazing Blogsister, Mith for being the best Blogwife a Mycroft could ever ask for and for making me feel less alone, and other people who I'm forgetting because I'm a little scatterbrained.☂

☂LOVE YOU GUYS.☂

☂And Zaf, now you can do the other half of the ded!☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂OH AND I DED TO SAPPHY FOR BEING A BIG SUPPORTER OF MY FANFICS AND FOR BEING AN AWESOME WRITER!☂

Amazing ded, Ember!
Um... Cake is done, I'm back! And it is a good cake! I'm happy! :D

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Good job, Mithria!

☂And thanks <3☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Well, Sherlock, would you like a nice frilly dress? With a corset to show off your slim waist?

*laughs again*

*grins and hands Mycroft a piece of cake* I saved this for you. Eat it and let me find a suit for your brother, agreed?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

*looks absolutely delighted*

I agree with this proposal!

*happily noms cake*

☂Smooth, Mith! XD☂

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

Here's MY HALF: I dedicate this page to love. Love is a powerful emotion. It just....is. In Harry Potter Harry was protected by love. Yes it drives us to do stupid things I admit, look at myself. But yet its because of love we're here today. To go on with it, I dedicate to Dolly, the ship of epicness. I love it and ship it. And so to end I ded to my school winning the bucket game because we're EPIC.
