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.

Hey Lantern. :)
I keep almost calling you Moss. I'm pretty sure I did, once or twice. :P
It wouldn't be bad if I did, I guess.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yup! Very very very snowy
@Zaf: O_O
It was snowy one day here, and it was really big flakes as well, couple of inches wide, and it was settling, but then it turned to sleet and bye-bye snow. -_-
Other than that, we've had none, and the weekend has been beautifully sunny. :P
#ChaseForbookNien
[hugs Maralily]
@Mara: . . .
I think that is the most chilling, brilliant and effective way of getting that message out. Well done.
*hugs*
(And the message itself is rather chilling.)
And that's a kind of review-y kind of response.
Because I'm not really sure how to respond directly to the meaning.
You can only really respond with long-term actions.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah now I'm in the 8-12in range for tomorrow night storm...ha! Lovely.
Mara....ok?
@Zaf: Well, I hope you survive the storm. :P
. . . I mean, the literal storm.
Like I said, no comment on the metaphorical storm.
Words are an inadequate response.
#ChaseForbookNine
This is gonna be interesting it has been snowing still....Damn. And Dad is still shoveling his way in
Zaf, that was basically aimed at you. Don't act as if it isn't. >.<
Ok? You realize you just brought down the mood. Nobody else mentioned last night until you brought it up.
I am rather struggling on how to respond here . . .
If I start saying a load of stuff, I generally regret it, so . . .
My mood is fine, though. I'm still thinking about it, and also my moods have decided not to behave for the past like hour and I'm happy rn.
#ChaseForBookNine
Mara, we love you. [hugs]
Spent four hours writing that out. Trying to make a change. A difference.
I know I'm shit at songwriting. I know I'm shit at everything. But I tried.
Thanks for making me feel like a failure, Zaf. Really appreciated.
We do. :)
Love Mara, that is.
Just in case anyone's brains had a continuity error.
I'm not trying to insult your brains, it's just I'm not really sure how they work, seeing as how I don't have one . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mara: *nods*
A change probably needs to be made because we're going in circles and dizzy's all it makes us, but then again, the world has to suck to be awesome, so idk.
And, I don't think you're shit at songwiritng at all. Or at everything. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
You're not a failure it just really wasn't the time. Last might it was agreed to keep conflict out you could have emailed me if that was directly aimed to me. And you'd have to have if I had school as I never read back through old comments and also I'd be in chorus where I could not have read
If she's trying to make a change to Blogland, then . . . *shrugs*
Things should be directly applied.
But I take your point, Zaf. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
"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."
@Lantern: *nodsnodsnods*
#ChaseForBookNine
I looked through all the comments and i could not find one that said you agreed to not talk about it. I may be mistaken but I really don't think I am.
And it was not aimed at just you. It was aimed at everyone.
Ugh nvm I'll just go on instagram it's better than fighting with you. Because when it comes to you, everyone but you is wrong.
*hugs Star and Fabi* Sorry, I'll delete that song now.
Tbh, it was bound to come up again.
Don't delete it, Mara, please... [hugs]
@Mara: No! :O It was a(n) . . . not 'awesome', because the word sounds disrespectful to the meaning, but something with the same positive meaning . . . song!
And, I know how you feel. I got home and started emailing myself because I could talk better there than here and then I was like WOAH WHAT.
(But adressing myself never really works anyway because when no one will read it I don't see the point in including details and then nothing really gets written and it's like um.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh...
Well...
Typical. Brilliant. Thank you so very much for making my day Mara! When nobody brings something up for pbvious social reasons why do you bring it up?!
...would it be rude of me to repost it?
If maybe I was saving it in my pile of things to quote?
Or would that be disrespectful (not sure that's the word) to Mara?
[Sighs]
Don't make this Mara's fault, please. She feels bad enough already.
@Lantern: I don't know . . .
@Zaf: Maybe because she disagreed with our methods.
And seeing as how nobody's methods are apparently working, I can't blame her. :)
I have brung it up. Just not here. :)
'Brung' isn't a word? :( Aw.
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't think you should try and make something not someone's fault because they feel bad about it. I do, however, think you should try and make something not someone's fault because it isn't their fault.
(Plus I also believe that things are never entirely a single person's fault. And I will tell them that if they feel bad about it. Along with other things that justify it beings partially their fault. Sorry, I just felt that first sentence needed to be justified. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
Brought?
@Lantern: Ah, yes. :)
I was wondering what the word was. I knew it wasn't 'brang', because that isn't a word either . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
[Shrugs]
To make something not implies that it is and you are changing it so it isn't.
To not make something implies that it isn't and you're making sure it stays that way.
I guess it all depends on perspective, though.
I'm in too cloudy a mood to blame anyone, really. I'm just trying to calm things down.
And it isn't working.
Maybe I'd better just go.
"I brung"
"You brang"
"He/she brang"
"They brang"
"We brang"
That's the verb conjugations for 'to bring' in the past tense in a local accent. :P
@Lantern: Well said. :) And very true.
And - don't go if you don't want to. :/ If you do, however, you can. Free country, like Zaf said yesterday. :)
I'm in a good mood for no particular reason. I'm just sort of . . . stating my opinions in a supportive fashion whilst trying not to stir things up too badly, I guess.
#ChaseForBookNine
*local dialect
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, wait a sec . . .
No, it's "I brang"
"You brung"
I think.
I brang, you brung . . .
Dammit.
"I brang"
"You brung"
"He/she brang"
"They brung"
"We brang"
#ChaseForBookNine
No, possibly "They brang" . . .
Sorry. My brains gets confused. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
No, you can say "You brang" as well . . .
You brang it to the table . . .
Okay, if it's "---- brang it to the table", it's always "brang", I think.
I'm not sure when "brung" can be used.
I think it's probably interchangeable with 'brang'.
I'm not sure.
. . .
Yes, interchangeable with 'brang.'
*facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
...Hello?
I just use brought, I think.
Why don't I think about things like word usage more often?
Hi Lucy [hugs]
Hey beautiful. *hugs*
I'm sorry, I have to go.
My head is getting fuzzy again, and the computer screen isn't helping.
Hopefully see you soon. [hugs]
Bye.
Bye, I guess. *hugs*
Hi Mushroom, Dragona! :)
Fours, Lantern! :) *hugs* :)
Haha, I didn't think about it until it got underlined. :P
How are you two? :) And anyone else still here.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Star. :)
*waves to Mushroom* :)
#ChaseForbookNine
Hello Star and Luciana!
@Mushroom: Haha -
Brother: *points to luminous yellow shape on mirror* Is that a grave?
Me: Yeah.
Brother: For what?
Me: A sticker.
Him: A STICKER?
Me: Yes. *giggles*
#ChaseForBookNine
(You know, that's your mushroom sticker you gave me at Leeds and I lost. :O)
#ChaseForBookNine
...
Oh my God, Star
ily
@Msuhroom: Thanks. :) I love you too. And I loved that sticker. But it fell off my hands when I was running for the train. :(
I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT ON MY FACE DAMMIT.
But I love you more than I loved the sticker, obviously. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, if you have time there's a part of my ME story that's a old-ish that I don't think you've read. Before a random post of Skyrim screenshots full of dragons.
*hand
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm sure I have more stickers, Star. I'll have to find them for you. :P
@Dragona: Okay. *nods*
*points at German* *points at watch* *moves finger slowly around the watch*
My Ipswich friend has this Time-Turner watched and it's so ace. O_O You can flip the thingy around like a Time Turner but it's an actual watch as well.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mushroom: Ah, it's 'kay. :) *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
*watch
#ChaseForBookNine
Time Turner... that thing from Harry Potter, right?
I HAVE A TIMETURNER KEYRING C:
@Dragona: Yup. :) She's mad about Harry Potter.
@Mushroom: THAT'S ACE. O_O O_O O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
If I'm right, there was something I never understood about the Time Turner. It showed them stood there and everyone moving around them. That would mean, by default, they were there all that time, and would have appeared to be going VERY slowly. And when they first went back, in reverse.
Suuup.
I got it from WWOHP.
WHICH I AM PROBABLY GOING BACK TO NEXT SUMMERRR
WOOOOOOOOOOO XD
Hey Sparky! How are you?
My dad's reading HP to my brother rn actually. O_O
The Order of the Phoenix.
@Dragona: Not in the book. :P
I don't think so, anyway.
#ChaseForBookNine
SPAARKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY *attacklehugs*
I wish you lived in the UK so we could go see Frozen because I feel crap and because you're fucking awesome. c:
Hey Sparky! :)
@Mushroom; Yaaaaaay! :) :) :)
Have fun. :) :)
Me and my Ipswich friends were saying there should be rooms there that only let you in if you could answer questions like "Who is Peeves?" :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Today in Medieval History we learned how Christians on the First Crusade went into villages and killed people and ate them, not only that but they also stuck children on sticks and roasted them over a fire and ate them.
Then again, all we've learned about for weeks is how Christians tortured loads of people - even Eastern Christians.
@Dragona: People are stupid. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
tbh calling someone famous shit is like calling a certain type of medicine shit. just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it can't save lives.
...
Mara is that a quote from somewhere
Or can I steal it & buy you loads of Skittles or something beCAUSE THAT'S THE BEST THING I'VE EVER READ I LOVE IT
Hey Lu. Yeah, I'd totally take you.
Btw, what are the chances of you getting to go to the British Museum sometime in April?
And Pine and Ink.
Salutations.
It's in London, isn't it?
If so, 394% likely I'll not get to go.
I think I have intense revision in April too... My exams begin in May, after all. So we'll be going Mock crazy... :/
Hello? How are you all?
Today was too much :(
I made it up aha
I had to take medicine earlier bc stuff and I just kind of thought to myself and yeah
*hugs Luci*
Thanks(:
going now byeee
*huggles Mara* Can I use it in Imperfect, please? Because you're a genius and I love you. :P
Seriously though, it's genius!
Damnnnn...
*frowns*
So I guess I'll be meeting no one when I'm in Europe.
Dammit.
Bye then Mara...!
@Sparky: Not strong chances. D: Sorry.
@Rhydian: :( *hugs* Aw. :/ I hope stuff improves for you soon . . .
@Mara: Like Mushroom said, it's awesome. :) :) *stores in head to say next time people insult famous people*
#ChaseForBooknine
Sorry, Sparx. :(
Hi Sparky, Star, Luce and anybody else here! *hugs*
I'm too far north to get to London for just a day, especially during term time. :(
It IS genius. :) :)
@Sparky: :/
Sorry . . .
@Mushroom: Of course she's a genius. :P *failing to be surprised by it*
It would fit well in Imperfect with all the awesome things you say. :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Luci - Sure *hugs* I love you tooo
Thanks, aha.
I've created my own graphic to put at the end of my blog posts. :)
@Dragona: Yay. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh gtg now...very quick visit lol but I want to watch something. So bye I I guess!
It's VERY Mass Effect themed, since it's for my Mass Effect blog, but yeah. It has the SPECTRE logo, the N7 logo, the Migrant Fleet logo, then it says "UK" and a picture of the flag then "EUROPEAN FLEET".
Because yeah, I'm in a fleet.
@Dragona: Yay! :)
Fours, Rhydian! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
And, Star, I think you're the only one on here who has a chance of figuring out what it all means lol.
I'm in the States so I'll never get to a signing :/
Zaf, your picture is cool.
Eleven days until my blogversary. c:
Happy Blogversary in 11 days then Luciana.
@Mushroom: Yay. :)
@Zaf: Never give up hope. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I have to go now. Bye!
Hehehe
Fours, Dragona! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
I am going to murder my brother before this day is over.
all holidays, we've been fine. We've been able to avoid and ignore each other. But now that my mum has dragged us to her work with her and we're in a confined space, he is driving me nuts.
@Snow: D:
Hi!
#ChaseForBookNine
It's a bit quiet, sorry. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey, again.
Oh no but I
I will survive
for as long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive.
I just burst out singing that when my brother annoyed me.
Hey sparky
@Snow: Good method. :P
Hi Sparky! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hits head on wall*
You know what isn't fun? Moving drinks from one fridge to another.
I'm fucking done.
Mom wants a railroad for a property I was trying to get and so she complains she paid 260 for it. I told her she didn't need to buy it as you knew I'd want it and I have the others and I have nothing you want. So you wasted noney and so then as I'm trading the damn rail road she turns around and wants the slum i have. I don't think she needs te entire board as i litterally own all the red spaces and 2/3 yellow. So i told her no she has the entire board practically and she can have the rail road and she tries to say she prgibally said the slum
*nods like I know whats going on*
Zaf, it's Monopoly.
The game is built for making family members angry at each other.
What were you expecting?
Hey guys! How's your day!
Sorry just irritated by how annoying she is.
*sits in tree* oooh its so peaceful here! Without the trouble maker
Hai Amethyst!
Hello! How are you today?
*mutters* my arms are so sore and its only 9:15 am.... never let yourself be draggee to help in a school canteen.
Good! So happy now!
Eeww Snow that must hurt
Ouch...hope your arm feels better soon :)
Oh joy of joys, I now have to make cheese rolls. Wbd
*grunts from the hammock I'm lying in*
You know, referring to her with 'trouble-maker' probably isn't going to help anything.
Though I fear I'll wish to retract that statement soon.
well...nothing much happening on here...anything interesting going on?
hm...I think I'll leave now. Good bye everyone! Have a wonderful day! :)
Not really.
I'm in double English right now.
We're studying Othello.
When this book comes out my life will be over. Thanks a lot.
I blame Derek and Moffat for all of life's problems. They cause all of the pain in the world.
Same. Ugh now I'm dealing with my god damned parents if I am never in the kitchen when dinner is made why would i know where the rice is hidden
*chuckles*
This is funny.
"Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them."
Holy damn.
Shakespeare is legend.

He is incredible. Rather, whoever he is
You'll be alright, Fabi, don't you worry
*sighs* so what can I do?
*yelps*
Hiya, Ads!
*shunts her off*
Sup?
4810272, apparently...
I certainly hope so.
Msd.
*frowns slightly*
*sits in dynamite forest* Don't worry I won't write Zavel. Needn't upset some people
*hugs Fab if she goes*
And- I just got out of my tutoring lesson, so dreading the homework that I have yet, yourself?
Oh, I get it...
The converter has a character limit. Pity.
I'msorryIknowthisprobaboymakessensetonooneI'msorry.
Don't you think it would be better not to mention anything at all, Zaf?
And no I'm not over what she said. I won't be for a while and I plan to make her know it. I hope irritates her how much I say it. I do because she deserves it
No. Not right now. Not until its known and I get an apology for the unessesary comment
Sparky, please- *Hugs her* *Whispers* Shhh it's okay babe *Cuddles*
And- you mean words to numbers? I was wondering what that was earlier. I thought it was a telephone number :)
Ewww its supposed to freeze over tonight
Goodbye. Not sure when I'll be back.
[hugs anyone who would like a hug]
Words to binary to decimal. Yeah.
Still cool, though. *Hugs Fabi* See ya
Bai Moss
*sighs* Its been rater quiet
If I'm honest Zaf, from what I gleaned, your mother actually displayed an exemplary piece of monopoly playing.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey there Trip!
Deliberately buying tiles that you want/need so that your business empire is damaged, while she at the same time gains assets, not to mention winning the game through it's truest form of victory: aggravation.
#ChaseForBook9
Herrow.
What's the Adra situation? I'm somewhat behind. :P
#ChaseForBook9
She's still in Peru, if you were wondering.
Monopoly- I have never finished a game. We've played for days
Very good. I shall begin operation 'Trip gets slightly hooked on drugs' immediately.
#ChaseForBook9
You're kidding.
Oh dear. Well, she's there if you need.
Sorry, poofed to work. *le sigh*
She freakin has the entire board....
Oh yeah I still don't know what to do I want to rp but I can't really do much because I fear more angry words from someone
Hey Snow! Wb
It's called a codename, genius. :P
Just kidding. It's a fairly accurate codename.
#ChaseForBook9
Herrow Snow.
Is that not the aim of Monopoly? To have the monopoly?
#ChaseForBook9
*Look of condemnation to Trip*
By god
He's not going to get out of this easily
im so happy rn, i just found out that cher lloyd (one of my fave artists k) is releasing another album eeEEE! and i just convinsed this girl that was cutting and depressed and had been bullied for 5 years to go tell someone at her school.. thats a really big step for somebody, and i am so happy that i made someone choose to do that. she said i was strong and i gave her hope, and she even changed her name from something about bullies killing her to something about having hope in herself. idk, im just happy that someone feels so much better about themselves bc of a little person like me. :') ||| i just wanna say tho while im on the subject - you, yes, YOU, you reading this - you are a beautiful, wonderful person, okay? you're perfect. you may not think it, but you are. someone out there loves you, is afraid to loose you. never give up hope, theres light at the end of the tunnel i promise. things will get better. ily. ♡ ill probably do a biiigg post on all of this stuff, so look out for that. if you ever need someone to talk to - hi :) im here. always. i wont judge and tbh if someones being mean to you over ig just let me at em... ok that changed tone quickly oops. ILY ALL NANITE STAY STRONG YOUR ALL PRECIOUS LITTLE GEMS ||| { #LittleMix #JadeThirlwall }
this is why i love izzy.
my heart is divided into itty-bitty pieces, but one big part is my love for her.
tbh she made me feel better about myself when nobody else could :')
hopefully, if she likes, i can convince her to come onto the blog. if that's okay with everyone.
i should really be asleep sigh
I have a plan for what slea's been up to btw. *evil smile* your gonna be alllll :0

Does anyone want to see what crazy other Zaffy is up to?
Wbd, watching very important yogscast youtube videos. *nods*
You're more than welcome to write.
(That's joyous Mara. And it better not be a baby Snow, 'cause we already did that one.)
*Trip sits in a dark, earthy smelling room, perfectly content, slightly elated even, meditating, trying to avoid the flashbacks. Those bastards. Always throwing him from his perfect serenity. Perfect serenity? More like complete contentedness! He thinks his mind may be a little distorted. Of course it was, silly! Better to keep meditating, than keep thinking.*
#ChaseForBook9
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come."
I just
It's beautiful
Lol god no. Slea is not having a baby. Snow is sooooo not a mum.
AWH bae
*Or in fact, was it better to keep thinking? SHUT UPPP!*
#ChaseForBook9
Zaffy is able and loves her three kids
Bae :3
*Adra is still in Peru*
I actually don't know what she's doing. What is there to do is Cusco. IDEK
*A flashback seemed inevitable at this point, as he was already too thrown to prevent it.*
*No it wasn't! It was perfectly evitable! What are you on about, ya moron?*
*No, it was inevitable.*
*Evitable.*
*We're not getting into this.*
#ChaseForBook9
Trip, are you... sane?
Omg best first comment everrrrrr.
I dedicate to the bloglandian quotes blog.
please keep emailing me with bloglandian quotes, whether the be funny or serious
*Raises glass* Aye.
Hmm... *Watches Trip*
No.
For more reasons than I talk to myself. That being the primary one though, the others are only really there in a more figurative sense.
#ChaseForBook9
Brb food
Bae.
Creys a lot
Yeah, adra... wth did that say?
I said
"Bae
Creys a lot"
*His mind slipped back to a couple of days ago, to a time, more oblivious to his problems now. A time when he was closer to his wi- girlfriend, and his daughter. Maybe, ignorance truly was bliss.
Wait what? What was he on about? Ignorance, bliss, those two words should never be said in the same sentence, out of respect for the word bliss. Truly, the scourgeweed was messing with his head*
#ChaseForBook9
Your gonna make me cry. I DONT UNDERSTAND THESE WORDS
Awh
Actually, you don't even know how many times I've almost written "husband" but then had to tell myself 'no, not yet'.
Dam u hi son
Neither do I, Snow.
Ioux was not faster than a speeding bullet.
And that's literally all I've written since Thursday.
