Under Pressure... Moi?

Glancing back at old Blog entries, I happened to notice that on December 23rd of 2012 I had 13,320 words of LSODM written. This was a good thing to notice. It means that, with 18,504 words of Book 9 already spewed forth onto the page/screen, I am well ahead of where I was last year — and I finished LSODM in PLENTY of time, did I not?

Well, actually, no, I didn't. It was pretty much down to the wire, as they say. I couldn't afford to make ANY mistakes with LSODM, because I had no time to do anything resembling a significant rewrite. But at least I know it can be done. At least I know I can do it. Now all I have to do is hope I DO do it.

Pressure pressure pressure... It's everywhere. I don't actually mind pressure. It's a handy tool to make you sit down and write, after all. And I have no one to blame for these onrushing deadlines but me, because I'm the one who agreed to them in the first place. I'm the one who said "Hey, let's collect all the short stories, and I'll write a few more brand new ones, and we can publish in the summer before the final book!" And what a wonderful idea that was. What a magical, wonderful idea, to schedule the writing of short stories at the same time as I've scheduled the writing of a book. How clever that was.

I had wanted to include ten new stories in the collection. I STILL want to do ten — but the fact is, I might not be able to. I may only be able to do five. I want to tell a tale of the Dead Men during the war. I want to tell the tale of Billy-Ray Sanguine and what he did when he was recovering from the sword-wound that Valkyrie inflicted on him in The Faceless Ones. I want to show you how Val met Caelan for the first time. But most of all, I want to go back to Skulduggery and Valkyrie, back before the screaming and the killing and the darkness. I want to see them having fun again, before the death and the destruction and the heartache and the loss. The collection will be out mere months before the final book, after all... I want you to enter into Book 9, fully aware of how good it used to be between them.

And then I want to shatter what remains of your souls.

Oh. Well, I hope he's ok.

Hey, do you know of any shunters?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Not without feeling really guilty about it...

Ari! [hugs] I haven't seen you in ages! How've you been?

((Should probably mention that I'm not here in RP. I don't know how much you read back in the comments, but I have a really interesting plot of my own going.))

Hi Adra. [hugs]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

No I don't... Need one?

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

I can shunt probably ((back until 5pm then ill be going home)

Noelle said...

Hi Fabru *huggles*

Well... I'm not sure I'll be here to help, I appear to be going on a short field trip to Estonia soon...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hey Moss! *hugs back* I've been ok. I only read back to through the last page, and I read a few older ones, but not too many- I don't think I've read your plot , sorry. Is it on Nameless?

Well, yes, sort of. I need to talk to some people in another dimension, but I can't find any available shunters.

#ChaseForBook9

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

If what Niccolò did to take us to the para universe was shunting or the demon one, then i can do it, Ari

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Um... Actually, that'd be great, Zaf, thanks. Could you just drop me off on the parallel dimension? You know, the one that tried to take our world a while back.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that, Aretha. I hope you find what you're seeking.

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

Well i'm not 'dropping' you im staying with you. No offense but i dont trust them. I wanna know how Niccolò is alive.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh! What's happening in Estonia?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hi Zaf.

No, it isn't. I've bern going back and writing it up, but since it's not over, that might take a while. It's okay, you don't have to read it. I juat wanted to make sure you knew why i wasn't really participating in your plot or Adra's plot of Zaf's plot...

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zaf, Mevolent is here. You're a Grand Mage and I'm an Elder. We can't afford to just both disappear.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'd like to read it, Moss. The beginning sounded interesting.

#ChaseForBook9

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

I can't afford you disappearing. How will you get back here? I don't think you can text me to get you, and I'm not a Sensitive.

Noelle said...

Nothing in particular really...

*nods to Fabi*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I have friends there; they can get me back.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Alright then, if you say so... Hey, how has Trip been?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Aretha,...why didn't you ask Niccolò? He's more then capable. He visited us a few weeks ago.

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

((Uhm i may not have wifi at home....i may not have power once i leave so if im not on by quarter to 6 assume that))

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

((I'll let you know when I post it, then.))

((Nods to Adra))

((Fades to distance, since y'all are busy, and technically so am I.))

Hello? Could someone help us get these off?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*goes pale* What? *says it as a statement, not a question* He... Came here? And talked to you? Just like that?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Er, good, I suppose?

Noelle said...

Or apparently not.

Trip, what have you done

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

I dedicate this page to the people in the Philippines, may they recover from that typhoon. I also ded to the opening of one of the World Trade Center towers, it's open and back. Haha terrorists.

Noelle said...

... not sure about that last bit, but otherwise *raises glass* Hear hear

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Trip! Hi! Oh yeah, sure! Hold still. *draws knife from pocket* ((Is it ordinary metal, or enchanted? Because I have a knife that'll cut through most metals.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

Yes he did. No idea how but it was him. I kept pestering him to make a bloody link

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

Ooh msd! I think i gtg be back 15-30min my dad is exteemely slow

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

Oh you know how these things go, we were wandering through the woods, minding our own business, which just /happened/ to be investigating a potential genocide committer, when we get ambushed in the woods! Next thing you know we wake up, chai ed to each other, about to be eaten alive!

Ginger man: Rather rude really.

Hypsin: Quite.

*backs against a tree and slumps to the ground* I can't believe he didn't tell me...

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

Ginger man: You'd be amazed how many people try and eat you these days.

So many.

Hypsin: Mostly the ones who fail.

Interesting pattern really.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

... Yeah, he was here. *bites the inside of her cheek thoughtfully*

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

Thanks Ari.

Ginger man: Thank you, Ari.

Hypsin: Thanks.

I would love some tea.

#ChaseForBook9

Of course not... *is weirded out by their synchronicity*

Be back in a few...

*disappears into her lab and comes back a few minutes later with tea*

*they pick up the mugs gratefully, Trip turns to Ari*

So how is Niccolo?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Star Inkbright said...

I'm tired of Hunter being captured . . . I barely got to write about him being not captured before it happened.

Oh.

Hey.

Can I ask for some opinions?

Alright.

Yes.

Wellll . . . I know barely anyone reads my blog, and this isn't me nagging you to, I'm fine with you not reading it, but I'm going to ask your opinion anyway. Do you think I should involve flashbacks?
They would be good - flashbacks are always awesome.
Bad - I'm going to write various books and I could actually go back and write about then, rather than just flashback to it, and flashbacks would ruin that.
Good - it might be a little boring if I go and write the past all out so flashbacks might be better.
Bad - it would take so much time and I've barely moved even though I've written loads.
Good - it would make it more interesting, and add more emotions and sides to things.
Bad - if I do flashbacks now, then any following books will look strangely empty.
Good - I'm not sure I'll get a lot of points and opinions across unless I flash back.
Bad - it might be better if I developed these points and opinions over time.
Good - but first impressions always last.
Bad - I might not be able to write the flashbacks very well, like . . . it'll still be as empty as it was before so what's the point in that?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I know. But apparently he's back. Apparently he's been back for some time. And he didn't even tell me! I was still looking for ways to bring him back. I was going to negotiate with freaking demons! ... I don't know how he's even managing his names...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

((HI STAR!

Err... I'm not sure? I say you should do what you think is right.. I personally think flashbacks are awesome...))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Flashbacks are great, Star, just be sure to use them in moderation so they don't halt the progress of your story.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Damn you. :) *hugs*

And - flashbacks ARE awesome. :) Haha, we turned on Episode Six of Season One of The Walking Dead, and there were all these zombies and people in this corridor, whereas they'd just gone into a place which wouldn't have that, and my dad was like wait a second I think I've missed one, and we paused it to fill in the details, and then he was like no I watched the last one, and my mum thought she'd missed one and then she was like no I haven't, and then we were like, are we on the wrong episode, and we got all confused before we hit play and discovered it was a flashback. XD

. . . But if I flashback back I might ruin further books, sooo . . .
Idk, actually.
I think all that would be done better in flashbacks.
But idk.
Idk.

((Do what your heat tells you, failing that, do what your small intestine tells you.))

I haven't seen him for longer than you have. *gently runs her dhoulder* I miss him, I really do. No one presented such a challenge as he.

But you know what, wherever he is, I'm sure he has a plan, and a reason for not being here, with you.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Ari: Thanks. :)

Idk, still, but it looks like flashbacks are happening.

Yay . . .

@Ari: I would do. :) I mean . . . I think I'll only flashback when I want to make a point. Like, if I'd read a book, and I was telling someone what happened in the book, and I wandered off onto a different part of the book and my mum's like "Only tell us what we want to hear" . . . I would have wandered off because I would have wanted to point out that the affect of the part I want to say is this and this because of this background information which is this. And when I think background information is required and my reader isn't getting that, I can show my reader it. *nods*

Thank you.

Garret: *lowly* Don't mess this up, Adrasdos.

*finds herself in a long hallway, recognizing it*

*pauses* When is the first round?

Garret: *checks his watch* Five. *he opens a door and she walks through, setting her things down*

Adra: Let it be known that I hate this, and I absolutely despise you for making me do this.

Garret: *laughs*

Adra: *discards her jacket* Oh right. *points to the bruises and dark spots that cover most of her body* You gonna fix that?

*Garret gently touches her hand, and most of the bruises disappear*

Adra: *smiles tightly* Cute.

Garret: This way... *he leads her back down the hallway*

*takes a deep breath* Garret, please don't do thi-
*a forearm to her throat cuts her off as she's pushed against a wall.

Garret: *gives her a stern glare* Adrasdos, you will go through with this. This was your deal, remember? I let you not kill that bartender, and instead threaten to hurt others.
*laughs* I mean, good God, it's like he isn't that important...
Now go.
*he pushes her lightly through a door, backing away towards the seats*

*he shouts* MY MONEY"S ON YOU!

*Adra backs away, then stops where she is, taking a few steadying breaths. glancing at the rink*

Adra: *sputters* I don't want to hurt you so stay still
*the other girl growls and scratches her cheek, managing to grab at Adra's hair, somehow sneaking around her and kicking Adra in the back*

*Adra hisses, reaching back and elbowing the other girl in the face* *the throws the girl off of her, her breathing labored and hits her in the face*

Gentlemen, I do understand that. I really do. But I believe the cure for magic is much more important than a few years in jail.

Adra: 400 years does that to you, Garret. *her eyes narrow* And I'm not fighting again. Not in that... Foul excuse of entertainment. Not for you, nor anything.

Noelle said...

(*pokes Fabroooooo*))

(Wait, ye still here, Trip? 0.0)

Noelle said...

((Okay Fabi *nods nods nods*))
((*pokes her*))
((*is certain that Trip left*))

Garret: *leans close to her* *he hisses* I don't think you have the luxury to do that, Adrasdos. I still have that threat hanging above you... Who knows what could happen? Last time, it was the fox... This time- what if it's one of your Elders?

Adra: I trust they can handle themselves, then. But you, Garret. You are not going to be continuing in this business for much longer.

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

((Pokes Adra back))

((Is running out of words...))

Hello.

Noelle said...

((HI!!! *hugs*))

*she and Garret tumble to the ground, and he pins her there, hissing*
*she kicks him between his legs, using the break to push him off of her, gasping for breath* *coughs, stumbling to her feet and feels herself pushed against the wall, her arm twisted behind her*
*she hits his mouth with the back of her head but his grip only tightens on her*
*she feels him try to get an arm around her throat and tucks her chin in, but he wrenches at her jaw, and hooks an arm around her neck, squeezing*

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

*tacklehugs* What's up?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

You know, people always say it 'a a small world, but it isn't. It's huge. It's so insanely enormous. It. Is. HUGE. And sometimes I feel like I could just drown in the sheer vastness of possibilities and things that exist in this world. It's like, everything is so utterly meaningless, but at the same time it's so, so important. I would make this into a rant, but on my phone that's really hard to do, so I'll save it.

AH I FORGOT I WAS HERE!

HAI! :P

Noelle said...

*she coughs, pulling at his arm and kicking as he swings her around, not letting go*
*she jumps up, throwing all of her weight forward, flipping the two over again*
*she lands hard on her stomach, the air rushing from her lungs, leaving her breathless*
*she elbows Garret in the stomach, grabbing his arm and pulling it into a lock, keeping it against the ground at the shoulder*
*she stomps on his shoulder, dislocating it*

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

Ari dear you have a phone? We are emailing each other our numbers *isgettingtheiPhone4stomorrow*

Noelle said...

((Yes, the world is huge, but it's also so, so small. Alarmingly small.

But the many possibilities mean that there are so many possible experiences. I find that that is what makes it so exciting. SO terrifying, and that living is sometimes one big rush..))

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

A river flows across the potholes...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

((Whoa, Fabi... that was cool..))

*she quickly fuses Garret's arm into the concrete, locking it there, as she begins to draw binding symbols around him and an alchemical symbol cage*

*she puts her chalk down*

Not so nice being the one in the cage, eh Garret?

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

I:
A river flows across the potholes
Smooths them out as I
Paint the inside of my mind
In colors that no one can see
The next closest, then

II:
A river flows across the potholes
Carrying away the sticks and stones
I stand against the current, unmoving

III:
A river flows across the potholes
Carries mud and grit and dust
That whirls around you
Are you breathing?
The current sweeps you
Off your feet and into the hole
Are you breathing now?

IV:
The river flows across the potholes
Would it could carry me away from here
Where the songs are all the same
And all the tapestries are faded gray

V:
The river flows across the potholes
Smoothing what was a road
It bites at my frozen legs
Carries all the dirt and grime away
I wish it could do the same for my soul

*walks out with Ravel* Uh Adra you alright?

Snow said...

(( *huggles fab* beautiful.))

Noelle said...

((Oh! HI Snow! That sucks... I feel for ya))

((Ay Fabi that's really good)

I'm brilliant..

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

((I hate when that happens Snow))

*looks at* Mm yes who tried to kill you?

Ravel: don't talk Zaf you can't fight well at all. Whoever attacked her had to be skilled.

I...know I can't fight and I wish I knew where Niccolò was...I really need help now with Mevolent...

Snow said...

(( proformance poetry is fun...))

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

(( i'm proforming this with four other people and it's really fun... :

The day the dragon came to call,
she ate the gate, the playground wall
and, slate by slate, the roof and all,
the staffroom, gym, and entrance hall,
and every classroom, big or small.


So....
She's undeniably great.
She's absolutely cool,
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate our school.

Pupils panicked. Teachers ran.
She flew at them with wide wingspan.
She slew a few and then began
to chew through the lollipop man,
two parked cars and a transit van.

Wow....!
She's undeniably great.
She's absolutely cool,
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate our school.

She bit off the head of the head.
She said she was sad he was dead.
He bled and he bled and he bled.
And as she fed, her chin went red
and then she swallowed the cycle shed.

Oh....
She's undeniably great.
She's absolutely cool,
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate our school.

It's thanks to her that we've been freed.
We needn't write. We needn't read.
Me and my mates are all agreed,
we're very pleased with her indeed.
So clear the way, let her proceed.

Cos....
She's undeniably great.
She's absolutely cool,
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate our school.

There was some stuff she couldn't eat.
A monster forced to face defeat,
she spat it out along the street -
the dinner ladies' veg and meat
and that pink muck they serve for sweet.

But....
She's undeniably great.
She's absolutely cool,
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate
the dragon who ate our school

Ravel: *sees Smokey wander over* The cat got out...

Snow said...

Noelle said...

And he's doing fine, coming along well.

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

Fox mad?

Noelle said...

A little bit... *takes Dimitri from her and he calms a bit*

*laughs* I think you were holding him wrong..

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

How? I held kids before..

Noelle said...

True...

I dunno, he might just not like you?

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

I tried to kill him once before...

Ravel: May I hold him?

Noelle said...

Well then there's your answer.

Hang on, Ravel. *she bring Dimitri over as Dimitri sniffs at Ravel's hand*

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

Ravel: *watches the fox sniff hand* Hey little guy *moves hand so he can smell it easier*

*watches a little sad*

Noelle said...

*Dimitrie bites him and burrows his face into teh crook of Adra's arm*

*laughs at both of them* He likes me.

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

Ravel: *yelps and pulls hand away* Damn it excuse me *goes into the treehouse*

Olivia: *wanders over* Foxy! Hi Auntie Adra' *sits on floor and plays with snow*

Noelle said...

*chuckles, petting Dimitri*

I'm pretty sure I'm the only human being that he likes.

Hello, Olivia

(What I need from whoever is on are three things each that you want me to incorporate into my next fabulously weird solo RP.
I can't do it tonight, but I will do it next time the contributors are both on with me.
Hopefully.
If you're lucky.
Mwa ha ha.)

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

I think so for sure...damn he did have rabies shots?

Olivia: *giggles and pokes Ravel* Grand Mage!
