Working Hard...

Well then.

As you  know, I've been writing. Writing, writing, writing. You don't get to do an awful lot of other things when you're writing. Well, sometimes you do, but not when you have deadlines like these. The short stories I'm writing, all of them, need to be delivered by Wednesday. The first draft of Book Nine needs to be delivered by the middle of next month.

To say I am a tad busy would be something of an understatement.

Of course, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and why would Jack want to be a dull boy? I've been doing things. Reading things. Watching things.

Take this evening, for instance. This evening I watched the last Sherlock of the current season. The first episode of the season was oddly character-driven, at the expense of the central mystery, but I didn't mind that in the least. The second episode, the wedding episode, was hilariously sublime. And the final episode, having Sherlock face off against a truly unique villain... well. It was just wonderful stuff.

And I've been reading. Stephen King, mostly. Going over his early works. His classics. When I was a kid, I went straight from The Three Investigators and the Hardy Boys to Stephen King and these wonderfully violent and detailed Gold Eagle books like The Executioner and Able Team and Phoenix Force, books that gave you diagrams of the weapons they used at the back of the book. Basically, I graduated from kids books to horror and action. And after a few Stephen King books like Cujo (the first King book I can remember reading) I went on to James Herbert and Shaun Hutson — overtly violent and brilliantly horrific.

And now, after all this time, I'm going back to Stephen King, and loving it all.

Recommendations? Read The Stand. Then read It. Two MASSIVE books. You won't be sorry.

So these things have been my break from the writing. Christmas, for me, was mostly about the short stories. But there was one story...

It started off fine. Exactly as I planned. It would be a new kind of story, something I hadn't really tried before. It would probably end up as one of the longer stories of the collection, though, but not by much.

I thought.

I have just finished it. Half an hour ago, I finished it. At the moment, before edits, it is over 20,000 words long. That's twice as long as The End of the World. So you'll be reading through Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!), and hopefully enjoying the stories, and then you'll get to this brand new novella, a good, solid chunky story, and I think this story alone will make the collection worth the money.

I think. I hope. Right now I'm far too tired to form a coherent opinion. All I know is, I've been working hard. And it's not over yet.

I feel like I stayed up too late last night trying to finish a poem. You?

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: Aw. :(

I'm meh in a good way, I think. :)

(Which means I'm not quite good, but there's no reason so I shouldn't be, so I probably AM good but FEEL meh.)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

HELPFUL SPY TIP OF THE DAY:

If you want to get up two or three hours later from when you go to sleep without waking anybody else, drink a LOT of water right before you sleep. You'll wake up.

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

because my grandma almost found out about me waking up at midnight/1 am/occasionally 3 am, and my mom makes me sleep with my ROOM DOOR OPEN, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to wake up tonight, but NOPE!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Seriously, though, I drank six full cups of water in a few minutes, and I wanted to VOMIT.

Star Inkbright said...

@Ember: Um. Yay? :P *hugs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

*hugs* How are you?

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

EEK.

Seriously.

EEK.

Congrats, Ember!?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

You got a letter from a college?

Did it say I HAVE YOUR FAMILY, GIVE US A MILLION DOLLARS?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

ANOTHER NOTE ABOUT WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT: Store food. I'm hungry as HELL.

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

No, it said

"Dear [insert name here],

Congratulations! You're off to a great start on the path to college, and your impressive work has already caught our attention."

And then a bunch of stuff about opening doors to a bright future.

I don't think falling asleep on the second math section counts as impressive, but whatever.

Star Inkbright said...

@Ember: I'll save your tips in my brain. :)

*smiles at them both*

*noms on the potato*

Congratulations, Favis! College is kinda daunting, though, isn't it? All I really know about it is you sit and listen to stuff (or not) and you get drunk (or not) and you take tests.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Which is totally NOT what college is.

Star Inkbright said...

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

It's really, really scary.

I'm going to this program in a community college next year and the year after before I go to college for real. (If that makes sense) So hopefully I'll be used to it?

My knowledge of colleges:

They have a lot of vending machines.

Okay, I probably know more than that, but still.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

*adds the vending machine knowledge to my list of things I know about college*

I think college is supposed to be fun, so...

Star, do you like white, milk, or dark chocolate?

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

Fun and educational. My Mom's always focused on the educational. Because she's Mom.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

My English assignment:

While looking for employment, you have seen a newspaper advertisement by Programs Plus, a computer software company seeking to hire a regional sales representative. The ad states that a qualified candidate should have related past experience with both software and sales, well-developed personal skills, and preferably a college degree.

(I have to write a business letter to this companY)

YEAH BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WHO DO COMPUTER SOFTWARE DO

Dear people,

I went to college. They have lots of vending machines. I can turn my computer on without assistance, unless the stupid thing crashes, then I can't.

Love,

______ _______

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Sounds like moms.

Star Inkbright said...

@Ember: I like white best, but milk chocolate is really nice too, although I dislike dark chocolate. :)

Well, we went on a trip to Hull Uni once, and they had a Waterstones, and it had Gone in it, so um . . . Plus the nightclub was called Asylum.

IN ASYLUM
I LIVE A LIE
DON'T YOU KNOW I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU
AND I WASN'T READY
FOR ASYLUM
RELIVE A LIE
TO LET GO
NOW IT'S DRAGGING ME INTO YOUR GRAVE!
YOUR ASYLUM
FORGIVE THE LIE
OVERCOME BY THE FEELING THAT
I WON'T GET TO JOIN YOU IN TIME
AND THE LONLINESS IS KILLING ME!

@Ember: *laughs* XD

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Me too on the chocolate!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I'm going to poof for a bit, because I need to ninja-sneak to my room and ninja-retrieve my charger.

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

I like milk chocolate best, followed by dark, and I'm not that fond of white. :-P

Star Inkbright said...

@Ember: Really? Yay! :)
And, okay. :)

@Lantern: That's cool. :)

See, there's a giant NETWORK of buckets and towels blocking my door from closing, because my air-con is leaking, so I had to really silently reposition all my buckets and towels so that the door closed..

It is. :D

I'm pulling a semi all-nighter, because I slept from 10-12 and now I'm working.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Actually, Mith, we can probably roleplay now, if you're okay with that, because I have four goddamn hours of orchestra from 2-6 pm my time today.

I have no |\///\/||/|\|/|\/||\| idea.

I really want to do something with art or theater, but...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I think that'd you'd be good at theatre! YOU COULD BE A PLAYWRIGHT

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

You know what you should do? You should make a whole ton of those Python poems, and then make a little compilation of them to sell :D

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

[Laughs]

Tbh, I think I said pretty much everything I wanted to with my first one, and there isn't much left for any of the others to do...

Like, there are little ideas here in there, but they're not as EEEEEEEEEE.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Just keep collecting them, bit by bit. Not all the inspiration is going to come at once!

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

Being a playwright would be so cool, though.

Or director. I think I would very much like being director.

I'd be rubbish at the telling people what to do bit, though. :-P

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

I s'pose.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

You could be a playwright AND a director!

But technically, being a playwright, you're directing the director, so by DEFINITION you're a "director", and you don't actually have to do all the bossy stuff...

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

I guess you could look at it that way.

There's so much I want to do, though....!

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

You bought a rainbow paint bomb from the internet!!!<3

[falls over laughing]

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Do it all, then! You have a long time before you die.

*looks a bit confuzzled*

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

I'M SORRY.

So basically, all the characters were playing truth or dare and Effie dared Croatoan to end each sentence with three exclamation points and a heart.

And then later, Ari wrote one of her evil amazing and terrible roleplays (although it wasn't written like a roleplay, really) and now I'm imagining all the sentences ending with!!!<3

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

That sounds funny XD

What're you sorry for?

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

The fact that I'm still laughing a day later! XD

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

IT'S FUNNY!

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

Yeah, but you would think my brain would have found something new by now. :-P

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

The brain is a funny thing.

I've thought OPPA GODDAMN STYLE is hysterical for months.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Can you have an aversion for something?

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

I thought it was aversion to, but I don't know....

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

It is aversion to, but I was wondering if it could also be aversion for...

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

Well then, I have no idea.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I think I'm going to sleep now, since I did everything I wanted to do... Bye, Fabi! May you have much inspiration for the poems to come!

There is absolutely nothing with sugar in my house at the moment. It is very frustrating. I should check to see if we have lemons. Maybe I can make lemonade....

How is it to live in a place where it snows? Do you guys still have to go to school?

And if you're in Aus or NZ, I wouldn't expect so, Amethyst :)
I think it's mainly north-eastern United States that's getting it

Well, tomorrow's Saturday... So, no.

And if it is a heavy enough snowfall? No school.

Well it depends actually. If its really bad and all no we get off school, if its a flurry or something minor we do or we'll get some sort of delay. I mean if it isnt snowing you go even if there is snow on the ground like a dusting

Excellent dedication, Ms. Fabienne.

Noelle said...

Yeah, but California is a Fault state, so you get more earthquakes than we do, minor or no...

I think it was lovely, Fabi.

If it's a dusting, we don't get any kind of delay, unless the roads are icy, but more than an inch and Seattle can't handle it.

Unless the snow is really good for doing stuff with, I generally have to do school anyway, though.

I had one earthquake ever. It was the last week of summer and Mom had work so did Dad. I was home until Dad got home and was napping I sat in my dinning room on the laptop, and suddenly my laptop was shaking and so was my chair and myself and I hid in a doorway and it stopped, Dad had a news channel on but the Soap Opera was on but then it was breaking news tthat an earthquake hit so I text my mom and brother both down at the school and they all felt it and were safe. I kinda freaked and my friwnd was near the point it happened so she text me she was alright and yeah it was scary

Amethyst Temerity said...

There's not that many earthquakes here...

Noelle said...

What magnitude was it??

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

Ah. I'm not sure what to do...

*curls up in a ball*

Noelle said...

Ah, well, when my Mom and brothers lived there, they apparently had a bit more.

And a few is more than none :P

Something weird happened today.

Okay, they've changed the shop round at ROckcity, so now the skateboards are by the sofa opposite the counter (I take great pleasure in sitting on that sofa. I spent about two years (the duration of me being in the teenage session) without EVER sitting on it (unless I was waiting behind at the end of the session beacsue my mum was late) beacsue other people were always sitting there, but nowadays, they don't, and I can come in and sit in the sofa and I get great satisfaction form it), and anyway, I was looking at the skakeboards, as you do (the purple one with a skull on it that is kind of pretty and awesome that was there over two years ago when I used to sit by the steps with these girls who don't come rockclimbing anymore is STILL THERE. Not sold. I feel kind of bad for it. Also, if I had to choose which skateboard I wanted, which I wouldn't coz I don't skateboard, I would choose that skull one. I like it. There's this one that says "I DON'T LIKE SKATEBOARDING" or summat though and that's cool. :P), and there was this one sort of hidden behind a cabinet, and it said "KNOW YOUR" and then another word that was hidden to me, and I was thinking "Know your shit? Know your stuff?" and I leant over to see the hidden word, and it said "KNOW YOUR ROOTS", and then I looked at the tree symbol at the other end of the skateboard and I was oh yeah I remember seeing that one a few minutes ago and thinking "Trees. Roots. Ha."
But then I was like - "How did I see it when I can't see it from here?"

And like O_O.

The obvious explanation is that I saw it as I was sitting down or something (even though I'm pretty sure I turned the corner, thought SOFA, sat on it, though DRINK, and yeah, but stilllll . . .).
However, it's cooler to believe I have special powers and saw through the layers of reality. :P

Greetings, Ms. Inkbright.

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

There have been small earthquakes here. We're on the Pacific Ring of Fire, so...yeah. The only major one I've been in was back in 2001, so I don't really remember it.

You do have powers, Star
Hot damn everyone I have talked to is so fucking METAL

Star Inkbright said...

*waves to everyone* :)

Lantern, your ded was awesome. :)

I should probably email Luci and tell her how much I have gained from her. *nods*

Hi Star :-) [hugs]

Amethyst Temerity said...

i think I'm going to leave now. Nothing much is happening. Bye!

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

Sorry :/

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Temerity.

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: It was. :)

@Amethyst: What do you mean not much is happening? I arrived! That is an Event! Also, now I am here, things will always be happening! Things like my existence! Which is, of course, once of the most important things on the planet due to my very high levels of awesominity. *nods*
But you may go. You are dismissed, slave. :P Return back here in an hour to continue your worship.

Noelle said...

Ah... Goodbye, Amethyst!

Oh yeah.
Ahem.
*Pulls out paper*
"There once was a lass named Luci
Whose words were as perfect as gold
She wrote each day and night
But her presence never got old.
And though she might not be here
She's still lurking around
Because she's a fucking ninja
Yeah Lu is pretty badass and you cats don't even know.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: That poem is perfect. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Hang on.

There is so much more to come

Luciana said...

Here to post this because y'all should read it and appreciate Miss Perfect over there.

Can today be appreciate Adra day because she really doesn't get the appreciation that she deserves. I mean, she's so fucking perfect and she puts up with so much shit. She's so honest all of the time too - she's so blunt in the best possible way. She can make you feel better with just a few words. She's hilarious. She's intelligent and she's gorgeous. She's proof that you don't have to decide between beauty and brains; you can have both. She's so sincere, too. And she never seems to be capable of comprehending her own importance and sometimes I wonder if Adra knows she's a hero. I doubt it so damn much.
Anyway, Adra doesn't get the appreciation she deserves and I think Adra needs to be celebrated more, because she's the true meaning of awesome; the fact that she is herself fills me with awe. I'm so thankful that Adra exists and I'm even more thankful that she's in my life. I don't deserve a friend as wonderful as her and I doubt I would, even if I lived my life a billion times over and made all the right decisions. I'm sure I would never deserve her as a friend.

okaynowi'mgoingagainbye

Noelle said...

*Sends that off in the mail*
*Pulls out another card*
*Recites*
"There once was a girl named Zaffy,
Whose fangirlyness was well known
Who had been here all along
Who comes when we're alone.

And though we've had our fights
And disagreements galore,
She's still part of my family
For now and forevermore"

-Is going to make one for as many as she can-

Greetings, Ms. Pendragon.
