gibber.
Work is progressing. December and most of January was taken up with short stories. I still have to edit them. I'll have to do that soon, over the next few days... But I'm also back on the book. Writing away. Skipping chunks and writing important bits. I'm on the final confrontation now, making sure everything fits together. Even though there is a lot more writing to do, loads of gaps to fill in and storylines to link up, I am TECHNICALLY writing the end of the book at the moment. Will I finally get to find out how it ends? Or will I leave that blank also, to be finished off when everything else is complete?
I don't know. I really don't.
I have, maybe, another month of writing ahead of me before the first draft is done. Every morning I wake up, lie in bed for an hour (yes, it is good to be a writer) and think about the sequence I need to write that day. Then I'm up and writing. There is very little time to think about other things, such as writing blogs or tweeting, and I know you understand that, but I do want to thank you all for your patience. I don't like being silent for this long — but soon, I won't have to be.
Soon.

#ChaseForBook9
Herrow Em.
#ChaseForBook9
Just in general
Hai Em
Multiple things, really. The list goes on and on and on, and saying it here will most certainly bring the mood down, so I'm going to not go into it. It is, however, part of all the gunk I have to sort and move through, and I have my mom to help me out.
Soooo yeah :)
Hello, Em.
@zaynmalik1d
zaynmalik: Ask me if I give a motherfuck ?!!
ooooo fuck shit is about to go doooooownnnn
hello everyoneee *hugs*
i think tomorrow i'm going to go to my school councillor (idk how to spell it) and talk to her about my anxiety bc it's really getting out of hand:/
so yeah. that's all the news in Mara's world.
Oh, we'll then, er, have fun I guess.
#ChaseForBook9
Loads.
I think that was a good decision, Mara. Hello, by the way.
Herrow Mara. Too few people seek help for stuff.
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs]
[Can actually type with medical tape on my finger]
[Good to know]
Hai Mara
Hmm...
You know- Trip, if you would like, I'm all up for finishing the conversation. However, I hesitate to offer this to you, because if you have a headache, it might be too much strenuous thought or just plain boring
-So that's just a suggestion-
-eep-
-slink to the shadows-
Guys I need to roleplay, I've been writing fucking Deacon and bad guys all day.
I'm in the mood for roleplay.
Okay. Who do you want?
Em, I believe we had a thing going.
Same with you Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
Wait, so you wish to finish it?
Oh gosh, do I need to go back and post what Adra said again?
Don't care Zaf.
I just want roleplaying.
Adra, I want to rp with you too.
I'm on a roll bitches. Lets go!
Em- Adra has a thing already going on...with Trip.
Alexis: *walks around the lake* Lorcan!!
No, let's see...
...*sits down on the floor, his voice becomes a hoarse whisper* Are you messing with me? Because if you are, this is a very cruel joke.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, people can multitask.
#ChaseForBook9
Bitch isn't a nice thing to call someone... Meanie :P
-
*Huffs, getting to her feet and moving to sit across from him*
*Looks him dead in the eye* Trip, I wouldn't lie to you.
I know but dont stress the pregnant one
But you'd leave me.
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan hears Lexi calling him from the lake. He looks at his dad. Chase smiles.*
Chase: Go on will you, sick of the sight of you. I'll shout through the window if I need you.
*Lorcan smiles and runs out of the house towards the lake. He sees Lexi and his smile gets wider.*
*Her mouth tilts slightly downward* Trip...
I just explained this to you.
I-
I love you so much. With everything I have- it's yours, you have it all. But I can't simply disregard her, because she feels the exact same, and there was a time when you did too.
But the needs of the many must outweigh the needs of the few, and there seem to be more of us than of her.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Lorcan! Oh my god! Thank god something good has happened! *for once Alexis looks exhausted and appears to have been up all night*
*She would have smiled*
What about your other mind, Trip? What if, one day, you got your memories back? I'm getting the split personality vibe here..
*Lorcan runs straight for her and hugs her tightly. He holds her face gently as he really looks at her*
Lorcan: Are you okay Lexi? You don't look so well.
(Any other roleplay offers going??)
Oi, Em- check yer facebook, woman
Alexis: *hugs back tightly* I'm okay...Rough night. We found my brother attacked last night by the lunatic from another dimension. I was with him all last night.
((I could bring in Effie if you want...))
((I'm not sure I'll be able to stay much longer, though...))
*hugs Fabi* The Tardis looks great, btw
Awesome Fabi, the Tardis
Thank you. :-)
If this were a split personality thing, I would've figured that out by now.
But Adra, if we live our lives fearing former me's return, we'll never enjoy the present, nor the future.
I need you, Adra. As the body is to the soul, you are to me. Without you there, I'm just a weak force. A flick, not a ballistic missile.
#ChaseForBook9
Lorcan: Jesus Alexis, is he okay? Like really? Do you need to go and be with him now?
Any news on my mam by the way?
*She remains silent*
*Slowly nods, then* Alright..
Crimson: I can't help but notice, Mr.O'connor, but all we have done is sit in this cave and do nothing for a few days.
#ChaseForBook9
I don't really know what I'm trying to achieve here.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: No I'm able to come home. He's fine...Mom went over. And not that I heard of...I know we may ask Aro to help with possibly retrieving memories if Mom's method doesn't work.
Drew: In case you haven't noticed, I almost lost an arm. Excuse me if I need time to heal.
I can give you the necessary tools to get your love back and you just need to help me get mine. It's like a wife swap. Almost.
-
Lorcan: That sounds like a plan at least. Dad is okay, he just has to lay up for a while.
*Rubs her side slightly*
I don't know either..
But, I know you're right...
*She crawls over, sitting right next to him*
*Glances down*
Alexis: good. Thank god things are getting better. Finaly we can have some peace.
Crimson: Very well. What needs to be done?
#ChaseForBook9
Drew: She lost her memories the poor dear and thinks she doesn't love me. And I'm worried that the other man that's vying for her, that once he kisses her, she'll be so confused that she'll think that she loves him.
We need to get rid of him.
*his hand slides into Adra's, squeezing*
#ChaseForBook9
god, now I've got a massive headache! I think I'll go lie down for a bit
#ChaseForBookNine
Herrow.
Crimson: And what makes the man who invaded my cave the right man for this woman?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Rueben! How are you?
-
*She grips his hand tightly, afraid to let go*
*Leans her head on his shoulder*
Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
Drew: Because she is a light in my darkness. A beacon for our kind. The Eve to my Adam. She gives me a purpose and I gave her a second chance.
I'm sorry, Rueben! *hugs*
-
*Lifts her head slightly, looking up* Hmm?
And I see you're married?
#ChaseForBook9
(Still here....
Drew: Yes the woman is the mother of my children. But she understands the cause and why I've fallen in love with her. She doesn't fight or argue. She understands.
Crimson: And how do you intend to help me?
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan holds onto Alexis hand as they sit down on the grass beside the lake. He sighs as he lets Alexis lie her head down into his chest*
Lorcan: Lexi, I think I'm the only one of my kind. That's a slightly frightening thought...
I'm sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
*She glances down at her belly, feeling the tiny human moving around, and a sharp pain in her side from where she broke one of her ribs*
*Winces, patting her tummy* Cool it, kid..
Alexis: *glances up at him* That just makes you ten times more special.
*Sighs, reaching up flicking his nose* You moron. You haven't a thing to be sorry for, that's my job.
*Reaches up, pulling him down towards her, since she obviously can't make herself taller to kiss him when she's sitting*
*Drew unfurls his fist slowly and shows a black ball of moving shadows, some hissing slightly.*
Drew: This is a memory bomb. You fill it with every or any kind of memory you want. When you're done, you crumble it and blow it towards him. His present memories will be caged away and the memories you fill this with, will inhabit him.
But it is temporary so you will have to work to make the memories permanent.
-
*Lorcan shrugs slightly, staring out onto the water*
Lorcan: Yeah I suppose but that means that we don't know how massive my powers can be. Their limits.
All to explore.
(I'm going to kill you both)
*leans in further, and kisses Adra, albeit quite weakly.
#ChaseForBook9
Crimson: How temporary?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Still. This'll be interesting. The odds! I'm excited to see what you can do
*Reaches up, brushes his cheek with his hand, then pulls back, just enough so that she can look at him properly*
You probably need your rest... I don't know how long you've been down here doing... Whatever it is. But I should see what I can do to help.
Drew: About 3 weeks.
-
Lorcan: I could really hurt people. Wait, there is nothing like mage bounty hunters or something is there??
Alexis: No, only Cleavers. But they're for the Sanctuary. We often send Cleavers or Detectives to get mages breaking laws. But nobody just hunts us for fun. Nobody but other mages know we exsist, maybe a mortal but usually we send people like Scruntious in Ireland to convince them they didn't see us.
Did anyone see the Lego Movie?
Is it good? Or what? WHAT?
Adra, the best thing you can do right now is go. I don't know what's going to happen to me over the next few days, and I don't want you to see me like that.
(Guys, I'm gonna go and take a cold bath, because my head really hurts.)
#ChaseForBook9
hello Zaf, Adra, and anyone else who is on!
(Hai Rueben
I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard it's really good? Which isn't what I thought?
-
*Shakes her head furiously* No, no- Trip, I can't. It killed me to be away from you for so long- please don't tell me to go. You've just proved to me that we need to work together on big decisions. I mean, I can't go. I'm not going to leave you, whatever happens.
-
Okay, Trip! :/ Take your time
Trip, hope you get better soon! I have a headache as well
Adra, you don't have to hold onto me this time, because I will be staying
ok, Rueben!
Whoa...
Does anyone not have a headache?
has everybody left now?
#ChaseForBookNine
Apparently not, Fabu
I think our Irish friend is asleep
Apparently, Cthulhu is awakening.
Oh dear...
Hello sir Reingington! Do you have a nickname? Because
it would be easier to call you by that
Mr. O'Shea, you may call me whatever you wish. Hopefully, it shall be reasonable.
Mm.
Not here, sorry. I completely don't have this thing memorized... :-/
could I call you sir? That seems pretty reasonable
#ChaseForBookNine
That's okay, Fabi *hugs*
Rueben, the names for Sir get stranger and stranger as time goes by, really...
Hello Sir, by the way!
Of course, Mr. O'Shea.
It's rather cold up here...
And this study guide is literally all I have been doing educationally since I got home :/
I HAVE MORE WORK TO DO. *Kicks her computer*
*But not really, because it's fragile*
I despise research papers. I truly do.
I haven't done a research paper since I took biology. However, with forensics next semester, I would imagine that I may have one or two
Adra, you should probably finish your homework or whatever you're doing, the you could stay on blogland as long as you like
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm making a study guide for my English class. I've got Geometry and a bit of Latin...
Meh, you should really just ignore my ramblings about school. It's basically me getting pissy about it. It's no problem.
Every. Year. In English. Because I took Honors English its so worse. But its due Friday and I am finally free. Until next year. But now I can focus on Macbeth and whatever else we do in English.
I'm going to re-arrange my book shelf, so I'll be distant for a while
Awh, it appears Sir has gone.. *Waves to Sir*
Hardly, Ms. Dark. I simply find little to say.
Have you, um, ever considered starting a conversation with someone?
Certainly, Ms. Dark. But, once again, I do not often find much to say.
Likewise.
Obviously...
*Shrugs*
Preference, I suppose.
Quite.
You are rather different Sir
I suppose I should say thank you, Ms. Kerias.
*bows*
...
Indeed.
I don't blame you two- talking is quite tedious sometimes...
Perhaps it is simply that silence is a virtue that you two see better than others. In which case, kudos. Stagnancy and quiet is difficult to perceive in a world that never ceases to move.
That is a fair interpretation, Ms. Dark.
I believe so. I try my best to be poetic and express that through extravagant language.
That must be how you feel
For gods sake...*lays head in hands* this is gonna be fantastic! Thursday is an expected Nor'Easter fucks sake
Honestly, Ms. Dark, my author merely relies upon a key bank of specific phrases that seem "proper" enough.
just finished re-arranging my book shelf, and I must say, it looks great! even though I only have 50 odd books
Congratulations, Mr. O'Shea.
Nor Easters are the best :)
And that has long been a theory of mine. I've entertained the idea that your author keeps a list on his/her desk
(Sorry about that last part- I often forget who
is who, and who is where, et cetera..)
Thank you Sir!
Derek would probably be up right now, so how about we all keep on asking him if he could come on!
I need a second shelf. With my SP books HP books and Warriors books I took so much room. But Mom want to put it in a dorner thats too smushed and then I cant wake up to see Saracen Rue in the morning, which is freakin amazing to wake up to
Eer Rueben....its 1:20am by him, and uh he often never comments. Like ever.
Zaf, you read the warriors books as well? I only have the second series, and I will need a second book shelf soon, as well
Last part, Ms. Dark?
Mr. O'Shea, Mr. Landy is quite the busy man. Though you are free to attempt to ask him to come on-line, I believe it to be an exercise in futility.
True, I have only seen him comment once, and that was a few months ago
"His/her"
You usually refer to your author by the neutral, so I am not sure which pronoun to use.
It broke the flow of my words
Worry not, Ms. Dark. My author would rather be known as little as possible. Though they delight in all things meta and recursive, they still wish to remain in the background.
Now one of my stupid cats is meowing, and she won't stop, so I'll be back when I can get her to shut up
As I have suspected. To their credit, it does help bring your character more to life in doing so.
Neither can live while the other survives.
Sort of
Possibly, Ms. Dark.
You and your author are like Harry and Voldemort, Paul and Industrialism, Sydney Carton and the French Revolution, Tom Walker and the Devil (etc)
Again, Ms. Dark, a fair interpretation. Though it is hardly as black-and-white as that.
Of course.
Perhaps it is more like, in the world of Dickens, Sydney and Darnay and Blogland is like Lucie.
But yes- very often do book story lines parallel real life
Ah. I own all the Warriors books
Perhaps. But some times, real life parallels fiction.
I own souls
Well, I can see what you mean by that.
Hmm...
That was certainly good for thought.
I like blood oranges. They're cool.
Indeed, Ms. Cryptic.
Do with it what you will, Ms. Dark.
I believe that will be going on my quote wall in my bedroom.
Hello, Fabi.
I'm back! I have been back for a while, but then my stupid laptop died, in the middle of a comment! so I had get the charger

Hiiii [waves]
I probably should have put more time into this four-page monologue sooner.
It's just not going to be memorized in time...
So I'm supposed to get a foot of snow. Wednesday night into Thursday. Haha i give up
Wb, Rueben
And ay- sometimes you gotta make do
Mmph.
Okay, no Blogland until you can at least fumble your way through it, Fabi.
G'bye for now, all [hugs]
Goodbye, Fabi *hugs* And good luck
Good luck Fabi
Oh gosh my monolouge last year for Romeo and Juliet. I think for Drama Camp I may do it. I know it by heart...
Goodbye Fabi. *puts hand on her shoulder* *narrows eyes* *looks off into the sunset*
And good luck.
Heh, you remind me of the script I wrote parodying a Midsummer Night Dream a long time ago. And that reminds me of the one I wrote for the Merchant of Venice. Ah those were fun.
Aww my friend's kitty is dying :/
...
*long, drawn out sigh*
Something's just come up.
I have to go now. Goodbye.
Farewell, Lady Adrasdos, go in peace.
*lays by the fire in treehouse watching stars through the see through roof*
Javier: Hey, may I join you?
Go for it.
Javier: *lays next to* how are you?
Fine...I'm just stressed.
Javier: All you Elders are. You work too hard.
Ok Adra
Good night
Zaf, I'm an elder of Australia, so we should be waring against each-other!
Well, sort of a step in elder
I think nobody else is on, so I'll just go
#ChaseForBookNine, Mr Landy
*flollops in* hello...?
Really? I mean, really??
Hello snow!
Hia Rueben. *glares at the first comment* wbd while I type up a dedication
Actually, I might just do this as a ded:
There are a lot of bloglandians I admire for so many different reasons. I adore you all and you make life so fun. But, for now, I'm goung to focus on four.
These four are amazing. Truly amazing. I look up to them all and hope they get everywhere they drea they will.
ADRA:
You are...brilliant. You work so hard at everything you do and your writing, or what I've read of it at least, is amazing. I always enjoy your RP plots and you always seem to be around. I know, that may not be good for you, but it's one huge blessing for the rest of us.
ANNI:
You are a paragon. I marval at how amazing your RP plots and twists are and I can't believe your name isn't know world wide by now. Your ability to fantasticate things is cataplectic to my brain. Never, ever change.
SAPH:
What can't I say about you? You... you blow mind mind every time I talk to you. I love you like a sister and quite frankly, you astound me. You always know the right thing to say and I swear at times you're psychic. Every time I talk to you, I walk away smiling like I'm insane. Perfect.
FABI:
You know the old saying "save the best til last"... though I'm not really sure there is a best out of you four. Fabi, you are a truly amazing person. I adore everything about you. And I know you've been going through tough times lately away from the blog, but you are still the best blogsister I could ask for. You care so much and all your projects are monumental. You changed my life for the better when I met you.
All of you four are extraordinary. I know my life would be so different if I never met you, and I admire you for everything you do. Please know that in my eyes, you are, and always will be, perfect. Your my sisters and inspiration and I truly adore you. Never, ever, ever change. Okay?
I might end up doing more of these for other people, but for now, I'm done. *hugs everyone*
Hi...
Hey moss
Sorry I poofed...
I like your picture.
Thanks...
I'm still figuring out what to do for the background. I have some black frit, and I was thinking of using irid green as well..
:) brb
And I'm back
Okay.
:-)
Wb already!
My iPad hates me. It keeps playing songs that always make me cry...
There are a lot of those...
I cry sort of a lot, I guess...
Heh...
*hugs* DONT CRY!!!! ITS GONNA BE OKAY
But I remember the dance I did to this song... It was amazing... And a bunch of the moms who saw if said later that it made them cry.
And that never happens with level II pieces.
Shouldn't have to think
Who am I supposed to be today?
This picture makes me think of you c:
It does?
OH IT DOES?
WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR IN YOUR FACE
...
Sorry. Got a little enthusiastic there.
XD
...
Let us freak the world out.
The world is actually an orange, apparently.
*nods*
Niiiight [hugs]
I don't know what those letters mean...
bye *hugs*
OH MY GOSH FASCINATING.
So when I usually take this ADD test, I get, at maximum, 44. 24 for the inattentive subscale, and 20 for the hyperactivity subscale. Sometimes it's a bit less.
I just took a child one which was identical except for different examples, and took it for how I was when I was little, and I got 29. That's 24 for the inattentive subscale, and 5 for the hyperactivity subscale.
I AM FASCINATED.
#ChaseForBookNine
*sits in corner and hums*
HEY SNOW! :)
Only here for another few minutes. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
STAR!!! *flollops over to star* HIA
HI! :)
(Although I was actually more inattentive when I was younger. I was so bad at remembering my dinner money (I had to bring it in every week) that my mum used to work it out for a whole term. :P)
(And I never remembered to change my reading book.)
(Now, I generally forget something a few times and then it goes into the ! part of my brain, and my brain gives me constant reminders all day, or when I get to a certain point, I always think about something, and then I remember it. Like, I think about my cello when I get to the bottom of the stairs. If the bottom of the stairs did not exist, I could easily forget my cello. :P)
How are you, Snow? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Good. *flollops about*
All by myselfffffffffffff don't wanna be, all by myselfffffffff anymoreeeeeeeeee
I'M SO FUCKED
I have a Science exam tomorrow and I didn't study for it

Herrow mortals?
#ChaseForBook9
Hai Trip! so long since I've seen you!
Likewise! I've been somewhat irregular in my visits lately. How are you?
#ChaseForBook9
Omg I'm so sorry I completely forgot. I'm good, you? I'm so sorry.
