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.

( I know this is out of no where but the 1st paragraph of this is from The Shining. Awesome Derek. XD )
[Watches Annika's roleplay with interest]
[waves] Bye, Kes!
*sighs heavily*
*pulls out his iPhone*
*the one with the bedazzled cover*
*and dials up Precocious*
. . .
. . .
. . .
Hullo, Precocious?
Precocious: Finish?
He's not in New York.
*silence on the other end of the line*
*then a sound like a vase smashing*
Precocious: . . . And the notebook?
Shredded into a pulp.
*looks down at the pulp in his hands*
Precocious: *breathing heavily*
Alright. Fine. Good. Thank you.
Word from Gary?
Precocious: Nothing. He's still not back from Russia.
*sounds anguished*
What's taking him so long?
I don't know, but you need to keep calm.
Now, the most important thing is that you don't run off to Hollow Falls before I get back.
Precocious: I steadfastly refuse.
Doctor!
*a moment of shocked silence*
. . . Doctor, you are not going alone. Not in your condition.
Precocious: I can . . .
You can what!? You couldn't fight a kitten without magic.
Precocious: . . . Alright.
Alright, I'll wait for you.
Good.
*hangs up on her*
Precocious: *snaps her phone shut*
As if.
*picks up her already-packed suitcase*
*and exits the Midnight Hotel*
THE END
*Chase steps into the doorway of the room. His breath catches as he sees his wife and child helpless as this monster that was once his friend. Drew stops and turns around. He smiles as he looks Chase up and down.*
Drew: Well look who it is. The cripple. Come to get involved in the blood bath.
*Chase slowly unsheathes his sword and takes a stance, pointing it at Drew.*
Chase: the only blood that will be spilled from now on is yours.
*Drew smiles as he unsheathes his other sword and takes a stance as well.*
Drew: I look forward to it.
[Watching Em's roleplay as well]
*hangs in tree*
Alexis: *is watching Mom while holding Christopher who is biting a teething ring

Juat watched Frozen with my brother and we laughed at all the wrong moments. XD
Hai Snow I can't sleep actually I keep tossing

[May contain spoilers for Frozen]

Bye zaffffffff
[hugs all]
[floats around]
[hasn't seen Frozen but has heard a lot of good things about it]
Lots of fireworks and screaming neighbors.
I take it the Hawks won. :-P
It was good. But my brother didn't know it was a musical, so every time a song came on he would wince and hide his face. It was so funny.
I'll be honest, if someone did that loudly in ANY of the showings I saw, I probably would've thrown my drink at you.
Yeah... what was even going on?
I didnt do it loudly. I was just whispering to my brother. Except for the laughing. That was loud.
Super Bowl.
American Football.
Sport I don't understand.
Seattle won.
Yeah, I generally don't appreciate other people's commentary on movies. My family drives me insane when they do that.
XD I, try not to do it, (comantary) but I could resist those three times.
[Shrugs]
MY NEIGHBORS ARE PYROMANIACS
I'm sorry, I have to go now.
Mm...
...
Ah.
That probably sounded startlingly calm in comparison of the comment above.
Sorry...
I just remembered why I hate fireworks.
Hmm
We understand, Derek :3 I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
SAPHY
SNOW
*flyingtackleglomps*
*Takes a wary step back* You don't want to throw me off a building, do you?
Something very weird happened today, which I am typing up now but I'll post this comment first to let you know I'm here...
No. Ominous Voice is not allowed to throw people off today.
*Snorts* You have the strangest and most effective methods of making me laugh...
Um, anyway. The weird thing that happened today. There's going to be a school dance in a few weeks, and I really, honestly hate dances. So my friends and I were discussing the best ways to liven it up- water pistols, speaking only in foreign languages all evening- and one of them goes, 'We should crossdress!'
Then she whirls to me and announces, 'I'm going as a boy. You're going to be my girlfriend.'
Me; Sure... If you get me flowers and a box of chocolates.
Her; Deal.
And there we have it...
XD that would so be me. I have to meet this friend. I must.
I have already decided I'm wearing a suit to my grade ten leavers. And thata 2 years away.
Please send me a picture :3
Yes, you must! We'll kidnap you.
Also, she's going to flirt with the annoying people until they realise she's a girl. And dance with me (If we get a countdown, I might just die of laughter.)
XD kidnap me to the new land of Zea
Hiiiiii
Hello Mossyy
Hello Snow [hugs]
I'm redoing the ceiling of my cathedral... It's going pretty well, actually. :-)
Sorry for disappearing, I was helping mum with the shopping.
Moss! *flyingsueezehugs* Hey sister :3
Do you mean an actual cathedral?
Mbd, making a new profile picture and listening to music :) I love this song (Hey There Delilah)
Saphy-fish! [hugs] Hiiiiii
It's made of cardboard. :-P
Moss-pear; I thought it might be a drawing or something :P
*treeeee*
Snow-tree, Saphy-fish and Moss-pear.
This sounds like a crack fanfiction.
XD omg it does...
Nah. I do have a couple of drawings, but this one is three-dimensional.
XD
Hey saph, look on the quotes blog. XD
Oh my God, Snow, I just did... *tries not to cry* *hugs you, because everything on there's so perfect*
Did you see the newest one..? :)
Uh huh XD
[Laughs her head off]
XD goooooddd
Btw, I'll be doing that a lot. So, you might want to get some stuff I've said incase we decided to have a quote war.
((Oh, I'm doing that already Snowy dear ;) I'm well prepared.))
*Sapphy-the-fish blobs around in her pool underneath Snow-the-tree* *Blub-fish-sighs* I wish I could be like Moss-pear, princess of the forest. Maybe then I could get out of this pond.
*Swims up to the surface to talk to her friend Snow-the-tree*
((Don't ask where the hell this came from. I had a sudden need for crack.))
Omg, saph, you need to write this up. You mussstttt
I would, but I'm incredibly lazy and I have so many abandoned stories atm it isn't funny :L
[Mossy-pear sighs, knowing that someday she will fall out of the tree and be squashed against the ground, the undefeatable opponent]
[hugs Saph]
I still think we are the terrific trio. The conversations we have...
*Starts laughing so much my family are frowning at me* XD
Maybe we should make a completely crack collab of this
Yes. Omg yes. We must.
*Sapphy-the-fish wriggles to the surface and gurgles at Snow in fish language, which Snow somehow translates even though she's a tree*
Saphishy; Snowy, how far can you see with your tree-height? Is the rest of the world exciting?
*Snow-tree looks at rhe little fish and smiles in amusement*
*she replies to saphishy in rough fish talk* I can see rather far. It's amazing. And slightly nauseating. I think I may be afraid of hights
[Mossy-pear looks down, down, down]
[Maybe if she falls the right way, she'll be able to end up in the water and not die]
((Moss, my parents just started talking about Superbowl.
WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR AMERICA. WE'RE NOT AMERICAN. WE DON'T WATCH SUPERBOWL. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD???!!!))
Saphishy; Oh no! A tree afraid of heights? That's terrible! I wish we could swap. I want to see the world too. Do you think I could become a tree too, Snow-the-treeeee?
Snowee (XD lol): I dont know, Saphishy. It would be nice to have a tree friend... all the other trees seem a bit intolerable. *sighs*
I have to go for dinner, bbl. Love you all *hugs*
((I have not been able to escape the Super Bowl.))
((Seattle won 43-8.))
Bye Saphy, hopefully see you soon! [hugs]
BYE SAPH-FISH LUV YA BLOGSIS COME BACK SOON IDONT KNOW WHAT PUNCTUATION IS LOL
[Mossy-pear tries to estimate how far the drop is]
[She turns to a nearby tree]
Excuse me, how tall do you think you are?
((Iam assuming I am the treeeeeeeeee?))
*snowee is startled mto hear someone other than saphishy talking to her* oh... I... I dont know... perhaps... 8 meters tall? I'm not too sure.
Oh dear.
[Looks down]
That'll be an awfully long way to fall.
[Realizes she forgot to thank Snow-tree]
Thank you...
[She glances worriedly at the ground again]
Fall? *feels a wave of nausea hit* oh dear. No no no. No falling... not even talking about falling... nonononono.
Derek watches Sherlock. That is all.
((HERRO PERSON))
Oh. Sorry...
[Glances nervously downward, but says nothing]
*the nausea subsides* I-it's fine... I'm just-t scared of h-hights
[She remembers something someone said once]
[Timidly] Normally, trees only fall in extreme weather and when lumberjacks are nearby. The weather is rather nice, and I don't see any lumberjacks, do you?
N-no... *breaths deeply* I-i think I'm fine now...
Good.
I'm terribly sorry for worrying you.
*wearily* who are you, bye the way?
I'm baaaaack! :) *hugs everyone*
((Saphisy suns herself close to the surface, enjoying the warmth on her blue-green tail. She hears voices and listens in surprise to Snowee and Moss-pear talking))
((Thats mosear, saph, mosear))
My name is Moss. I'm a pear...
((Wb Saph!))
((Uh, I don't really like Mosear...))
((XD I knew you wouldn't fab, I just new))
Moss? The pear? The Princess of the forest?
*tries not to die*
*my heart seems to think its a jackhammer. A reasonable mistake, I suppose, given the situation I'm in* omg... the ... you... I... I feel like an idiot...
Sorry, internet cut out again -_-
Snowy? Why do you feel like an idiot?
(And what about Crypear? XD Just kidding.)
[Blinks]
Oh.
[Wishes she hadn't mentioned her name]
((Snowee does. She just freaked out about hights in frint of the queen of the forest))
((Sorry, Princess of the forest. ))
I.. uh... why... why do you want to... f-fall...?
((That's even Creepier))
((Thanks though [hugs]))
I don't.
Sooner or later, though, every pear does. We can only stay on the tree for so long.
Hopefully I will fall on a windy day and blow into the water. Much softer of a landing, I imagine.
*nods* Saphishy would love that...
Saphisy? Who's that?
Saphishy... she's my friend. My only friend. She isa fish. *smiles* and she adores new people... and, aapparently, hights...
Heights are quite nice until you have to fall from them.
[Realizes she mentioned falling]
Oops...sorry!
No lumberjacks!
I would love to meet this Saphishy. I've never met a fish before.
She is fun.
Hmmm................ I wish you could meet saphishy but shes all the way down there... *points eight meters down without looking*
[Nods in thought]
What is it like to have a friend? People are not usually friendly to me. Often they are polite and distant, maybe because of my title.
Friends are... happifying. And yes, that is now a word. *nods* friends know how to make you smile and laugh. I like friends. :)
((Msd, sleep))
Friends sound marvelous indeed. [Sighs]
*thinks* you are now my friend. *nods*
Just...like that? [Sounds happy/shocked/nervous]
Yesh. *nods*
((HERROOOOOO PEEERRRSSSOOOOOONNNNN))
You lot were fighting earlier? Why?
blogland is amplace of happy fluffy bunny dream clouds, not fights.
I mean, I understand it. But... *hugs* you lot are too perfect to fight ovet something as pety as solo rp's or whatever the hell it was.
*hugs all to death* please dont ever foght again you marvelous people.
...
Please don't bring it up again, Snow.
I wont. I jsut saw and was like "how...?" And had to comment.
Now I feel I need to lighten the mood... *thinks*
Some people have strong wills.
When they clash with others, it can be hard to calm them down, and all your words and all anyone else's can flow in one ear and out the other like they're inconsequential, and in the end nothing will change.
There's a lot more I could probably say on the subject, but I won't.
The short fortuneteller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.
I'm going to sleep now.
Goodnight. [hugs]
The child that refused to nap was resisting a rest.
Bye fab. *hugs*
Yeah... bye *poofs*

My German teacher . . . well, this is the homework she put on the online site:
<<
Science
History
Art & Design
"questions 1-11 - write speaking prep answers
write your answers on paper on alternate lines please"
Oh my gosh. What happened to basic English grammar? Shouldn't you know your OWN language before you go trying to teach other peoples'?
(And, yes, her grammar is always that bad.)
(What the fuck.)
#ChaseForBookNine
