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.

«Oldest ‹Older 4801 – 4915 of 4915@Taia: Sorry for what? Sometimes my brain just need a bit more time to understand things :P
@Zaf: I feel your pain. Go next doors and tell them: That's why they invented earphones!
Sister? You're still there? Did I say something wrong?
They did stop :D and I am watching Nascar so its hard to drown it out
@Zaf: xD
@Mith: :P I could probably learn to phrase things better, though. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Nah... I'm quite sure that it was my brain :P
DYNAMITE!!!!!
Um... okay Zaffy... are you going to explode us or..?
I got a horse Build a Bear, named him Leonce Pontellier, and gave him a Yoda costume. I also got some hot shoes and AGGHHHH this is so much fun!!
@Mith: At one I point I got confused while I was TYPING it, and had to go back and review it, so I wouldn't rule my error out of it completely. :P
It could've a combination of the two, I suppose?
@Zaf: Gelignite? :P
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, it's your birthday, isn't it?
*hugs tightly*
Happy birthday!!! :)
*explodes England*
I'm still here sister.
Happy birthday Adra.
Happy birthday Adra
@Taia: I have to do that almost every time I post a comment on here, just to check that I'm not telling nonsense. :P
And yeah... could be^^
@Chione: Okay... that's good!
ADRA! *megabirthdaysparklesfunwhee!tacklehugs* Happy birthday! :) :)
*laughs* Sounds greta! I'm glad you're having fun! C: ^^
#ChaseForBook9
Hey you speak pretty good English to comment and talk to us
*great
(Damnit, I keep doing that. WHO IS GRETA? D: )
@Mith: I think that I usually just let it be nonsense. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Heh. Thanks Zaffy :) But still, I've got to check and I always am afraid that I could - by accident - say something that doesn't mean what I wanted to say and that you guys are angry with me then.
@Taia: Greta is Argeddion's girlfriend. :P
And sometimes nonsense is great!
Today, I drove a car for the first time in my life. It was a harrowing experience, though it consisted merely of doing slow circles around a vacant parking lot. It was, however, an achievement for me, as I have a rather severe fear of driving.
Oh, hullo, by the way.
Happy birthday, Adrasdos!
*hugs Adrasdos*
May you have many more. Both birthdays, and hugs.
Hey Annika! *waves*
Hullo, Mithria.
*waves*
Hai Anni, I can get my permit when i want i just havent gone to the DMV
Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! *hugs, and hands out skulcakes*
So sorry, can't stay, must go, must fly,
like a summer leaf on an autumn wind.
Like a springtime bud in the winter snow,
remember me when I'm gone,
and now
I go.
@Mith: You know, if I didn't know you were German, I wouldn't be able to tell. You speak English better than a lot of British kids do. :) ^^
ANd, I don't think I'd get angry at you, if that's any consolation?
(Plus, I typo/transpose enough that I risk saying the wrong things anyhow. :P)
Also: *doesn't know who Argeddion is, but, good for him/her?* :P
Hi Annika! :)
Hey, well done! *cheers* C:
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Awwww, thank you so much! *is all smiles*
Yes, that IS a consolation^^
Argh, you haven't read book 7, have you? Anyway, never mind :P
Oooh Argeddion! I remember him
*hugs Adraly back, and noms skulcake.* C:
Bye, Annika! (I think?) *waves*
@Mith: C:
Nope. *laughs* But when I DO, and I come across Argeddion, I'll have the joy of going "Ah! So THAT is what Mithria was talking about..!", and then internally smiling. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: *laughs* Yeah, exactly :D
*looks at skulcake* N-no thanks Adra ;-;
*cuddles dynamite*
Hey, seriously, what's wrong, Chi?
We can e-mail, if you want but please... I'm worried.
@Mith: I'll look forward to that, then. Thanks. :) ^^
*hums*
#ChaseForBook9
WHY NOT CHI??? 0.o
Only in Vegas....the guy who says 'Drivers start your engines' had two stripper ladies next to him. They were dressed like strippers. Totally only in Vegas
*goes distant cause no one's really talking*
1: my bf left me. Again. I went out with my friend Collette and we ate so much fucking food. I feel fat an don't want to eat anything else tonight ;-;
*hugs Chione tightly*
I'm sorry...
I have a dartboard in my room. Would it help, perchance, if I threw darts at it and pretended it was your boyfriend's face?
I dont like when boys do that.
We've been going out for 3 weeks tomorrow. I haven't seen him out of school once.
The first weekend he went to Dumfries, last weekend he was busy doing homework and stuff, both days.
Yesterday he went to the doctors and today I went all the way to his house to wake him up, at 11:45am. He went up for a shower and told me that he wasn't allowed to come out because his dad wouldn't let him. I sat crying yesterday and last Saturday because of it.
My parents are telling me to not waste my time and to dump him...
Shit. God, I'm so sorry.
I know this doesn't make it any better. But I never know what to say in situations like this. And I hate myself for not being able to help. I don't want to judge cause I don't know him but if he is making you cry, there is something wrong.
(*sighs* Okay, I definately should shut up. I have a feeling like I'm making it worse. I think I'll leave now.
Chi, if you want to talk, please e-mail me but as I said, I'm bad at giving advice. But perhaps listening also does help... *shrugs*
See you all!)
See ya Mith!
@Chi: How much do you like him?
But I should warn you, I'm terrible at advice, because I've never had a boyfriend . . . :P
Also - there is nothing wrong with being fat, until it is dangerous to your health. Same with being thin.
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't even know anymore Star because it's seriously hurting me that I'm planning what to do together and he's not really caring...it's also his dad that's saying he cant come out. I'm so fucking fed up and it's only been 3 weeks *sigh*
*nods*
Well, I think it depends how much you care.
If it will hurt less to just give up with him, do so.
If it will hurt more to do that, don't do it.
And if you don't know . . . um . . . *shrugs helplessly*
#ChaseForBookNine
Thanks for trying. :)
It's not like I did much.
But either way . . . good luck with it. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Dynamite?
Hai
Hey Zaffy, Dragona.
Hello Chione and Zafira!
Star, I don't know if you're on or yet still but there's a new part of my ME fanfic up.
Sorry playing with gerbils
Is everybody dead?
Im here
Someone is alive! hello Zafira.
Hi and yes i am alive
Damn my gerbil is running the wheel
Hello...?
Hi Snowy
Where is everyone...?
I ate them all. Sowwe
I got distracted by food
Herrow, mortals?
*hums a jolly tune*
Hello Trip
Hello Zaf, how are you?
I'm good. Just disoriented from the Daylight Savings Time
Hehe, clocks.
As thengerbils? Not dead in one horrible foot related accident?
Hey guys, I'm trying to draw my own horribly drawn version of Blogland. What buildings are in it?
#ChaseForBook9
The gerbils are alive!
Oh Ari- the bar, lab, treehouss, Chester, lake, volcano...Hyde/Jekyll's lab somewhere in the dynamite forest
I drew blogland once, and it came out better than I expected. From what I remember, the 1D house is by the lake and then up the hill from the lake is the bar, and then all around that clearing there is a forest of varying (including dynamite) trees in which you have a research cabin, Adra a lab, Zaf a treehouse and Em has a house on the treeline. Not to mention Nix's volcano. There's probably more that my terrible memory simply can't reclaim from the past, but I hope I helped.
Jolly good Zaf.
DYNAMITE FOREST :D
Actually, my cabin is in Iowa, not Blogland, but that was very helpful. Thank you. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Ari I just had a moment- I was calling my gerbil and I accidently called Coco gerbil Niccolò
Alexis:*sits at the lake with Aro*
Aro: Alexis?
Alexis: I'm fine. I promise.
Aro: Are you sure?
Hai Trip, hai Ari
