Look what arrived a few days ago...
Ohhh, all those lovely Doctor Who stories, all in one place! And look what ELSE arrived in the same box...
Toys! Wonderful, wonderful TOYS!
I was indeed a happy writer.
So what else have I been up to lately? Well, I've been writing, amazingly enough. I have taken two weeks off Book Nine to focus on coming up with new stories for Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!) which'll be out next summer.
As a sample of what the new stories will feature, we're talking the Dead Men in the Wild West, the story of how Valkyrie met Caelan, a Billy-Ray Sanguine solo adventure, and Skulduggery Pleasant and Gordon Edgley at a horror-themed masquerade ball, set 25 years ago.
Time is tight, deadlines are onrushing, but I'm having FUN, so none of it seems quite like work. And hopefully it never will.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4944 Newer› Newest»I love astronomy too :) I love all physics. When I was on choir camp, I spent most of the time discussing multistring theory and the probability of M-theory with my roommate.
Hey Nev, how old are you?
*Softly boogies Kal*
Ahem
Payback
Brb! Gotta take a moment to finish this thought I was writing!
Actually... These are my first glasses. I had successfully stayed at the point where I could probably use them but didn't need them for years, and now I officially need them past the point where stubbornness will get me out of it, so... Yeah.

Adra that's hilarious that there are so many chapters- is it nsfw or does it stay somewhat classy?
Then again it's hagridxhedgewig, i reckon the classiness level has already dropped somewhat :P
Sanspoke
I CANNNOT HAGQIGE

Hellboy; Honestly? I think you're safer without... (Although Jackyrie is now Snow's ultimate OTP)

#ChaseForBook9
Hey Fabi
Question.
Seattle 2015?
I was definitely warned o.o alas, as Saph says, it shan't (shan't? Yes, i think that's right) be erased that easily D:
Of course not my dears-
Nothing can ever be erased!
EVER!
*dons her flower crown*
OT7: THE DEAD MEN
OT3 THRASHGRACEABELL
Tanolent (Tanith and mevolent..)
Bye Kali! *hugs* Sorry, wbd.
Hb; Aww. We could dig up a memory-erasing potion :P
Sorry, what do you mean by that?
Is there something I missed?
#ChaseForBook9
:/ nu Sapphy my child. Doth not be distant
Fabi-
I mean
If I can go to Seattle.
*whispers*
Will you meet up with Val and me?
OT7: THE DEAD MEN
OT3 THRASHGRACEABELL
Tanolent (Tanith and mevolent..)
Hello! ~waves~
I am still here!
Just writing! :]
I can certainly try. It took some really complicated plotting and stuff to be able to attend her Skulduggery party, but by 2015, I'll have hopefully convinced Mom to let me learn how to drive, which will deal with the "what, no, I hate traffic" problem.
#ChaseForBook9
What are we talking about?
[and of course by "we," I mean "y'all"]
Hello Skyril! [waves]
I'm still here, too. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Sky :J
We can pick you up if needed Fab.
Fair warning, you might want to run from the car. Val and I got pretty crazy
Excellent :D
Clever things
I is back, dearest Adra, so don't worry ;)
Nobody seems to live in San Fran :'(
Nobody lives in Louisiana either.
I empathize.
Well, I can't say for sure whether that'll be necessary, as 2015 is a while away! Like I said, though. I'll try.
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry guys. A lot of real world shit. Was fun to talk to you lot.
No one lives in North Carolina.
Not even I.
*Is not a Cincy gal*
Hm.
I do hope it can work, Fabi :)
And yay Star!
I want to have an SP party for Book 9, but at the moment the guest list would include about six people -_- unless Selena happens to live nearby.
Nyer
:/ You're going?
Awh... Bye HB *tacklecuddles* Until next time, my friend- *curtsies*
*now
*hugs Hellboy* It was really nice to meet you. Please come back!
*hugs Hellboy* It was really nice to meet you. Please come back!
Hey Sky, Imma pluviophile too! :D
Almost 1000
Nice talking to you, too. Even though I wasn't all the way here. [Waves]
[hugs Sapphy and Skyril] D:
#ChaseForBook9
Almost 1000 what?
TO ONETHKUSAND
Jdjddj
Wyaaay
OH
OI
1000,whoothe time says 3:35 on the blot,that's silly..
Stupid time zones...
Heh. Sapphy :)
And that sounds lovely, Fabi. Where I live, it is... Pollution. And it isn't very clean. I miss the old back roads and the beaches and trees :l
But I guess there's always beauty in the snow :)
Awesome, Saph!
I'm a pluviophile down to my bones xD
I love where I live. It's safe. Everyone knows everyone. It's only 15 minutes out of the city centre (which borders onto lovely beaches), but we have a little village with all the little village things. It's interesting. It's so GREEN. Even right in the middle of town, it's almost impossible to find a spot where you can't see trees and hills and NZ bush and pohutakawas. It's unique- almost everything in New Zealand doesn't exist anywhere else on earth. And it's breath-takingly beautiful. Just a short walk down the road and to the right, I'm in the middle of New Zealand bush with rare, colourful and native birds everywhere, and a quiet stream at my feet. I don't know anywhere else that's quite this beautiful.
Me too, Sky :)
Pohukatawanaha?
:-/
I s'pose. Snow is always really pretty. Maybe that's the bad thing about around here, though... If it's cold, the sky is completely blue and if it's precipitating, it's always rain.
#ChaseForBook9
Adra; Snow's the one thing I miss. But I think everywhere's beautiful in its own way.
Wow, Saph, that sounds wonderful. I'd like to visit you.
Ran can be beautiful too, Fabi. It nourishes life. I like to think of rain as nature's music. The way it patters across the roof and slides down the window, hitting
the pavement all make different frequencies of sound, and they're all instruments.
And from a religious perspective- rain could be like the sky opening up into the heavens and purging the world of evil
Which, even the non-religious me, is a nice thought :)
Oh, pohutakawas are gorgeous trees native to New Zealand. One minute, I'll put a picture as my profile image (sorry, Jadis.)
The name is Maori, that's why it sounds weird. The European name is 'New Zealand Christmas tree'.
It sounds beautiful, Saph.
I wish I remembered going to New Zealand... I traveled more when I was two than the rest of my life put together...
#ChaseForBook9
Saph it's okay. Snow is cold. Unless you're cold blooded as I am, you mightn't like the amount of snow I get
Adra; Nah, I used to live in England :) I like snow.
*hugs Fabi* Meh, that's annoying. You'll probably travel more when you grow up :)
Sky; I wish you could visit too XD And I think Adra might be a pluviophile too :P
Bbs, changing my profile pic.
Oh, I have nothing against rain. I actually really like going out in it, and how it smells and how it feels on my hair.
All I meant was that it's a million times more likely here than snow.
#ChaseForBook9
Where do you live, Adra? I've forgotten.
I couldn't describe all the things I love about rain. Let me put it this way. I have been listening to this the entire time.
http://www.rainymood.com/
Pulviophile?
And Cincinnati.
But on the Kentucky side.
And ah- I see, Fabi..
I might go in a few. It's getting late
Here! it's called New Zealand's Christmas tree because it flowers around now. Also, it looks very Christmassy :)
Pluviophile
One who finds joy and peace of mind on rainy days.
Ah, cool. I'm at some point moving to Tennessee.
A pluviophile means a lover of rain.
*likes what Fabi said* Join us in our pluviophileism! XD
It's lovely, Saph :)
And I am.
Greatly.
Okay, I ought to go...
Thank you all for being lovely- DFTBA
*tacklecuddlehugs* I love you dears :)
That link, Sky! *LOVES IT* I'm going to listen to this whenever I'm mad.
*cuddles Adra back* Aw :( Love you too!
*cuddles Adra back* Aw :( Love you too!
G'bye Adra [hugs]
