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.

Hi Taia. :-) [hugs]
*looks
Hey Zaf! :) *hugs*
How are ye?
My hamster used to do that. :3
Since the cage was in a couple of different sections, I used to clean one at a time, so he'd be able to sort out the clean part while I took the other part away to clean. I felt that was most time-effective for the little guy, y'know? Then he wouldn't have the whole cage to sort out at once. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Ah this is just one giant section so I put the two in the gerbil balls and clean and they spend a few hours cleaning and then they're happy. I gave them tubes to chew and a paper towel they'll be happy. I like to wqtch them run around
Hello.
@Zaf: Awh. :3
If I did the whole thing at once, he'd go into the hamster-ball. Which I don't think he ever used to its full extent. He'd usually just kind of sit there, like, "What're you expecting me to DO in this thing?", rather than dashing about and exploring like a normal hamster would. :P
Then I'd put him back into the cage afterwards, and he'd spend about ten minutes charging around it at high speed like "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?" and "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY COLLECTION OF OLD FFFFOOOOODDDDDDD...?", "WAAAAHHHHHH, IT'S SO CLEAN..!" x3
#ChaseForBook9
One gerbil will run in the ball happily and the other sits so confused. They usually sniff every corner trying to figure out what I did then they immediatly bury food and then clean out their hut. And they spend an hour running on the wheel to figure out what to do.
Hi Dragona! :)
@Zaf: C:
#ChaseFrBook9
Gotta go.
*hugs all*
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
Hi/Bye Taia!
Bye Taia [hugs]
Sorry for distance...
How is everyone?
Good I recorded Doctor Who so i'm watching it
It is so beautiful outside, and I have nothing to do...
Probably not here, just... Why must I ruin such a beautiful day by feeling so bored...
I mean, I only have, like, two hours of uninterrupted time to kill this whole weekend, but I just don't want to spend it all being bored...
#ChaseForBook9
I'm alright.
:-/ Well, I hope you find something worth your time soon, Aretha.
Its okay Ari
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6AQyBEN5fM
I just put this up here...
(And for those who see the title, don't be offended, just hear it out. It's about sexual orientation equality and uses the Bible to back it up)
Just
maaaaaaaan
I love this poetry Slam!!
And.. Yeah, it was just too great to share.
*I'll
Darn spelling mistakes.. *facepalms*
"Some Christians would go as far as to call
God's creations abominations
Heretics calling themselves faithful
When their faith is full of belief that only God may pass judgment
Matthew 7:1 Judge and you too shall be judged
Luke 6: 37 Condemn not and you shall not be condemned
Fred Phelps 2006: You're going to hell! God hates fags!
A history lesson: A faggot is a bundle of sticks
Originally used as kindling for fires that engulfed gays
When they were burned at the stake, people were firewood
But Moses came across wood on fire and saw God in it,
What is a burning bush but bundles of branches
On fire, isn't it funny how faggots and God can look the same sometimes?
Keep in mind Jesus had two dads and turned out just fine"
Again, it isn't meant to be offensive, and I apologize if it does end up offending anyone, though I honestly don't see where it could be offensive, but I'm just putting that there. *nods*
Yeah.
Eeer ok? Not everyone needs the stupid relgion rant
Please, Zaf. Stop. I was only sharing something that, if you had read close enough, was about how homosexuals are people.
Furthermore, religion is not stupid. I myself do not follow a religion more of a philosophy, but the core beliefs of every religion are rooted and goodness, and finding goodness in others is not stupid.
Whatver. I'm pretty sure anyone who has any common sense and a heart would eventually realize
Realization and contact with the goodness in one's self needs help. I was only sharing that because of the inspiration. It doesn't hurt to speak one's opinion.
I agree with both.
I agree with Zaf because I don't think religion is necessary for anyone to be good. And in several cases, it actually makes people bad.
BUT I agree with Adra for the message of the rant.
Ello people, what's new? Anyone start a fight without me?
Let me know when she leaves. Her very name is making me shake with rage.
And thanks Dragona. I mean I may be Catholic but y'know i dont see religion as helping some people
I'm back. Sorry guys.
No, I wasn't saying that religion is necessary for someone to be good, just that the root of religions are usually in goodness. It's mankind who twists the words to make them bad.
(Like Islam, for example. The radical Islamics will kill others in the name of their religion, but Islam is rooted in the same ideals as Christianity)
Zaf. That comment was not necessary.
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf, seriously. Stop being so passive aggressive, please. I haven't said anything to warrant this behavior, nor do I wish to participate in it. You are only wasting your time with fueling your anger and your hatred towards me and others.
Now, I'm going to go before this breaks out into an all out war.
Feel free to email me, anyone.
Fek off Kor. No one wants to here ;)
Hello, Korupted, Chione.
Still probably not here, but meh.
*sigh* Can we just not...
Sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
I won't fight Ari. Unless Kor goes on a rampage, let's Erebus out and hurts one of my best friends again.
Hey Kor, Ari, Chione.
Oh? It wasn't necessary? I thought I made it obvious I'm not forgiving her anytime too soon. She wants me to be nice then she can earn respect.
That wasn't entirely my fault...
Zaf, may I ask what she has done for you to not respect her?
That was your fault. You hit a caged vampire who you knew would get out. What the hell did you think was going to happen? if you had let me handle it she wouldn't have almost died. I may have injured her, but not as much as Erebus. He almost killed her. I let you fight her. That was my mistake and I won't let it happen again.
I'll try what she tried...
Silente
Silente
Silente
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*pushes glasses up on nose*
Technically speaking, she said Frozen three times to summon you, not your name. Maybe you have to use her favorite movie? I'm not sure. What does Silente like to watch?
Dragona- enough to make me furious.
I don't know Annika...I'm trying to think. She hasn't came on since Kor beat her up... I kinda miss my little vampire.
By-the-by, I really like your Goddess of Snow profile picture.
Erebus beat you guys up, I was fighting in my own head trying to force him back down
Oh my, sorry, got to dash. The pizza delivery man is here.
Kor its understandable. Don't fret
You can't blame Korupted for that. You really can't. I'm very impressed that he regained control of himself in the end.
#ChaseForBook9
-I walk through again, shifting with the shadows, silently walking up to the treehouse I began to loot the day prior-
((Hello Dimitri, I don't believe we have met.))
((Hello, Annika.))
*appears in the shadows* Hello, Mr. Grimm.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks down seeing people* Aw hell. Who wants me now?
((Hullo everyone it's kor, just decided to renovate my profile))
*whistles*
Lookin' good, Kor / Blake Soul.
*Bows*
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all day if anyone wants an autograph.
*stands down gracefully*
I wouldn't want to keep you from your legions of fangirls. I shall gracefully decline.
Enough reasons to make you furious?
Is it worth it then, the way you disrupt the peace every time she comes on?
Is it worth it that you've driven her and others out of what was once a sanctuary?
Is it worth it that you've turned from someone I used to like, even respect, into a hurricane of hatred and bitterness?
Is it worth it, that power you have to make me feel like I'm drowning, even though your words are directed at others?
Is it really so hard to rise above your dislike of her?
I'm not asking you to apologize, I know you'll never do that, but can't you at least ignore her, or yell at her via a more private method of communication instead of shoving your opinion in everyone else's faces?
Zafira Kerias, as long as you continue to act selfishly and bitterly and hurt everyone your respect means absolutely nothing.
Go ahead then. I dare you.
Antagonize me, just like you do when anyone disagrees with you.
I'm somewhere beyond caring now.
*laughs*
If only
Cool Kor so is that your taken name?
Moss, Zaf. I don't say this very often but... stop the fighting. For everyone's sake.
And yes Zaf, it is
You know I'm beyond caring what a lot of people think of me, you tell me to state my opinion private? You ought to as well.
SO BLAKE!
*claps an arms around Blake's shoulders*
How've you been?
Nice name :) and don't worry I'm not going to sit and argue over something stupid. I'm not like that anymore.
@Blake: Ok I may have grown to the name but it'll be strange for me...I've been calling you kor for almost 2 years...
Hullo, Sir.
Heh, I know Chione. How do you think I felt when I had to stop calling you kl?
I don't think I changed my name besides to add my title to it
Greetings, Ms. Barnosky, Ms. Asahina, possibly Ms. Cryptic, Mr. Soul, and Ms. Kerias.
I created Doctor Precocious as a character, not really as myself with a Taken Name.
. . .
. . . I haven't really given my Taken Name much thought. Perhaps I should.
Hello to you as well sir. Wonderful picture might I add, quite classy.
And your's Blake, is demonic.
Hey Sir.
*pokes Blake* you were very strong to regain control from your name
Mine is rather dull, all things considered. But it looks like Precocious, and that's the main thing.
Thank you, Mr. Soul.
Ms. Barnosky, your profile picture is perfectly practical.
Mine is awesome. A mix between an anime character and Chione.
*nods in agreement*
Um, thanks Zaf... I wish I could have stopped him sooner. Also Chione we necromancers are often taken as demonic and evil, I quite like it.
I totally agree on that one Blake! We are often thought to be evil, but not all of us are
*nods*
*nods*
*nods*
*shakes head* Sorry I just had to stop that before it got out of control.
*nods*
You killed the bit, Blake.
I believe it was dead upon arrival, Ms. Barnosky.
The bit was going to drive me even further insane than I already am Annika.
*clutches chest*
Ouch. You wound me with your harsh words.
My, harsh words are rather inaccurate, considering the fact that they were not even aimed at you, Ms. Barnosky.
When you insult my bits, you insult me, good Sir.
*snorts in contempt*
The past is in the past and I must agree with Mr. Reingington, I meant to offence to you Akkika.
*blinks twice*
. . . My name has been spelled and pronounced in many creative ways,
but three Ks is a new one.
I do believe that you are made of bits, Ms. Barnosky, but also that the sum of the parts does not equal the whole. Thus, if one of your bits is insulted, only a portion of you can be insulted.
Nah. Necromancers aren't evil. Not if you can't control them. I can completely control Hecate. I can bring her out and put her back. I get on quite well with her because you know, we have a lot in common. She's me. :3
Not if you can control them*
Messed that up
. . .
*adjusts glasses*
. . . Quite.
My bad Annika, my fingers have yet to wake up. Chione are you suggesting that the only good necromancer is a controlled one?
...
Quite.
Oi! I'm a Necromancer!
(Oops)
Hello, all.
Can anyone direct me to "Chester"?
Undoubte-
Oh no.
No no no.
*shakes a disapproving finger at Sir*
You're not drawing me into another thesaurus duel.
Is anyone going to tell me where Chester is?
-I wait impatiently-
Greetings, Mr. Grimm. Sadly, no.
Of course not, Ms. Barnosky.
-I shift my attention to Sir-
And, why is that?
No. Nobody knows where it is, and even if they did they know Sparky would kill them for telling you
*tilts head* No. Sheet I forgot you didn't read the other books. I can't explain just yet Blake.
I'm afraid I do not know any persons, places, or trees named Chester.
Well, in my case, it is because I have absolutely no idea of whom you speak of.
I was so close to telling you one of the main spoilers in the series *wipes head* Phew...
Ah, I see.
Well, I came here in search of a place "impregnable". It cannot be entered without explicit permission of the owner. All that will soon change. -I smile-
If books 4 and up would just come out on kindle already I'd have them done in a week, not my fault.
Chester is a place, Sir.
Sparky owns it.
Well, I've been to many impregnable places, though none of them were called Chester.
@Blake
Every book is available on Kindle..
Blake, are you an Ameriminion, perchance?
Dear Blogland--
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the mess you've inherited. I'm glad that you've not yet gotten to the point where you've been broken by it the way I have, and I'm sorry that when you think back and remember me, you'll probably hate me. In retrospect, I guess I don't blame you.
I'm sorry that there's so much bitterness here, and I'm sorry that "stop fighting" has been tried over and over again and really doesn't work anymore, no matter how many new people try. Go ahead, though. Try it more. I don't want to be the one to crush anyone's hopes.
I'm not sorry for what I said to Zaf, though. It's been building inside me for months, and now that I've said it, I feel as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am, however, sorry that the rest of you had to hear it. This isn't your problem, and I don't want it to be.
I'm sorry I can't be as lighthearted as this place seems to be now. I remember when I could. I remember when it was my sanctuary. But it isn't any more. So instead of weighing it down with older troubles, I'm going to let it be yours.
Take care of this place while I'm gone, okay?
Much love,
~Fabi
@Dimitri
That must've happened yesterday because that's the last time I checked
Well, that killed the mood a bit.
*adjusts glasses*
You will be sorely missed.
Yes Annika, I am. Probly why they aren't out yet for me
Fabi, I can tell you, you're probably the kindest, most lovable person here on Blogland, and I'm not just saying that. You truly are a treasure, and we will all miss you.
Ah, that would likely be it. I own all the books, but was forced to order them from abroad.
Ah, missed first by a split instant.
*smiles smugly*
Same here, first time in three straight days I haven't had to ded
I am currently listening to a song where a woman is shouting that if more people played the ukulele instead of killing each other, the world would be a better place. How true, Amanda, how true.
I haven't had to ded in a while
Me neither Zafira.
*sigh* So that's Fabi and Adra and Mara gone...
Nor have I.
God I wanna cry now.
I wonder how my gerbils are
"Everyone leaves."
- The Doctor
((Not here, but- Holy cats, that was so deserving of first comment. Well done, Grimm. And thanks. I agree wholly.^^))
((*huggles Fabi*))
((*still not here*))
#ChaseForBook9
*Hugs Chione*
It'll be alright, I didn't know either of them very well but I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted us to be sad because of them
*Rolls eyes* Well you lot are a tad dramatic there.
It wasn't leaving, those two. It was ejection.
*Shrugs*
Don't cry, Chione. I can't speak for the other gals, but I'm certainly a little over this place... Of course, my friends are here to visit with on occasion. But...
I dunno.
*sighs* No they wouldn't
Wow, I completely screwed that comment by forgetting where I was going.
Six more hours, though.
I miss you and Trip RPing Adra... I miss Mara and her hyperness and her harry RP. She was the one who got me into 1D.
It's not like we've dropped off the edge of the earth.
I can email you if you want to still read, of course. Stories that Trip and I might collab on...? And you can always ask Mara to write something :)
There's a large black van outside my house, with a satellite on top. The side reads:
Flowers
By
Irene.
I must go.
*goes*
Well that was a rather sudden exit...
Someone's been watching the Simpsons.
Goodbye, Annika *waves farewell*
@Chione: You know, in order for positive things to happen, negatives things have to happen.
And sometimes by leaving, people are doing a positive thing, and the negative of that is the missing of them and the fact they miss us.
Mara said once that she wished 1D were never formed, because then her boys wouldn't have to deal with all of this shit and they'd be happier, and even if it meant that she'd never know them, and even though that hurt, she would still rather they were happy. And that is one of the most loving things I ever heard anyone say, and one of the most sacrificial, and one of the most beautiful, and one of the most sad, and it isn't really any of those words, but when you link them together to create a new word . . . it's that word.
And if my friends are going to be happier away from here
then I would rather they left
even if I miss them
because if Mara can say something like THAT, then I can say something as little as that, and by 'say', I don't mean just say it, I mean say it and mean it.
(Sorry, talkative today.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Fours, Annika! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Very talkative, Star.... Very indeed...
I agree, I might recall something similar to that. It was great :)
*sighs* wonderful
@Adra: Very. *moans*
It was ace. :)
@Zaf: OF COURSE IT'S WONDERFUL, ZAF. THE WORLD IS FULL OF WONDER. LIKE ME. I AM WONDER INCARNATED IN BUBBLE FORM.
*nods*
And I'm scary. *giggles*
#ChaseForBookNine
Zafira what's the problem? Adra is just being happy and talking to her friends and you're sitting sighing at everything.
Anyone else feel we should switch to a more positive topic? Perhaps cats? I like cats.
You're the least scary thing, Star :)
Which is good.
You aren't meant to be scary.
You like me Blake? :D ~Nyaaaaa~
I love cats, Blake.
I have two of my own, they're adorable!
Its hard ti be happy when you're uncomfortable
So do I Adrasdos! And yes Chione *pats her head*
@Adra: *face crumples* But . . . but I'm SCARY!
I'm SCARY.
*sulks obstinately*
(*hugs Adra tightly* :) Thanks.)
I like cats better than I like dogs. I am really not fond of dogs. I'm not especially fond of cats, though. Or animals in general. I'm not really an animal person. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*Cuddles Star* :)
My kitties are adorable. Though, if I were to ever get a dog, it would have to be an italian greyhound
My cats are siblings, I once held them together and told them to bond and they hissed at each other xD
That's how I am when I'm placed in a room with my brothers.
OH I HAVE TO DED
I don't have cats I have gerbils
I dedicate this page to the great Fabienne, someone we will all cherish and remember. We love you, Fabi.
I was wondering when you were gonna get to that Dimitri, let's hear a good one now
YEAH YOU DO DYL
When is it ending?
Yah you do Dimitri
Oh, that.
*raises glass*
Ask and you shall receive I see, well done
OH I HAVE A DOG.
:>
*nods noddingfully at the ded* :) :) Hear, hear. :) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Dimitri, by the way- I love the Zack Fair profile pic!
Until something is fixed I fear if I am a bit uneasy there is one reason
I just thought, the episode of Doctor Who I'm watching where they are is like hell....all your fears haunting you chasing you and you're with these people....
I'm afraid I have to grace you all with my absence, I suppose I'll see most of you tomorrow if not later tonight. Farewell.
OH I HAVE A DOG.
:>
I'm not broken, so I don't need to be fixed.
ALSO
GUYS
SIX HOURSSS
Fours, Blake! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Bai Blake
Bye, Blake Soul! *waves*
It's not Zack Fair,
Zack looks nothing like that.
*hugs Blake*
Dimitri, you've said :P
Oh there is something that is wrong, and you know what? Nobody cared besides Star and Ari and a few others for my birthday, I take it not to care for yours
Appears I must now eat my words, nice to see how much everyone would miss me though xD
Yeah, doesn't he?
Granted, his hair is a tad poofier.
Hm, you're right. My mistake!!
Blake!!! *hugs tighter*
Zaf, you hate me. Why should I care that you don't care about my birthday, lol?
Ay, wb Blake!
*laughs* well hello again Blake
*Hugs Chione*
Calm down Chio, I'm staying ^-^
I may hate you but maybe things can change
*grins*
In any case, I have to go cook, so...
I'll be back tomorrow!! *hugs*
Whoa people, hate's a strong word. I say we try nicer ones like hugs and cuddles eh? :D
ADRA IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY.
I GOT A FUCKING DRONE
little cute cuddly blue-eyed pink perrie (◡‿◡✿)
@Mara: :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs dynamite close*
Mara!!!!!!!! *tacklehugs*
Thank you Ms. Charm, anyone else care to join in? Free hugs!*
Happy late birthday Dimitri
