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.

That's okay. Writing is an arduous process on occasion
Likewise.
*Crimson walked into the bar, Trip was considering a drink, although after she told him 'the news' he hadn't felt so thirsty. This was a very paraphrased flashback, he had o admit, but it was much less painful, so he didn't mind.*
#ChaseForBook9
XD Best. Writing. Ever. Fabi, you are amazing.
You better run baby run,
Outrun mah bullet
#ChaseForBook9
News?
What news?
Tell me now, gosh diddly darn it.
*Bludgeons him upside the head with a feather*
(You know, soul crushing new that would cause Trip to retreat to a dark earthy place?)
*"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" He'd screamed. The flashback was in greater detail now. Joy. "Nothing! I extended an olive branch, which she saw a sharpened stick!" "That is the weirdest metaphor." "I know."*
#ChaseForBook9
I back
That is a weird metaphor.
I've got my eye on you, Castalan.
Bludgeoning with a feather? Only you adra, only you...
Hello.
It was fitting, Snow.
Hello Sparky. How are you?
*He'd gone downstairs after that point. It all went a bit blurry then. Could have been tears, could be a bad memory, he couldn't remember.*
#ChaseForBook9
You know that feeling when you've heard a geeky parody of a song a lot because your mom loves it, and then you hear the actual song, and your brain automatically knows all the lyrics to the geeky parody, and you're singing that to yourself, and then the lyrics between the parody and the actual song differ, and you're like "Wha--"?
Yeah.
[Facepalm]
GOD DAMMIT TRIP I JUST *muffled shouts*
*Muffle*
*muffle muffles*
I'm not really here, I don't think...
I mean, I might be, but my headache has subsided, so I'm cheerfully doing a million things at once.
I do that a lot fab. But not because my mum likes the parody... because I do...
I'm alright, Trip. It's been a while since I last saw you.
(What's happening)
Yes Adra. I completely agree with whatever you just said.
(Flashback joke interval! When I was very little, my father attacked me with cameras. I still have flashbacks.)
#ChaseForBook9
Idek sparky.
(I know that well, Fabi :P)
*She turns her phone around in her hands, side to side- she had had pains in her belly today- it was worrying her, but from past experience, it ought to be nothing*
*She forgot to eat twice today, so she's sat on her bed, eating some chicken soup and bread, to satiate the child, although she would normally have been sick without the kid*
*She missed him*
*A part of her both loathed and sympathized with Crimson*
*It hurt*
Okay Fabs :) *hugs*
Uhhh I'm not sure Sparks, because Trip is being an evasive hoor and won't say anything.
Except make terrible jokes
*sighs*
*frowns* why did that post twice
So there's a restaurant in America called "Little Caesar's".
On the Ides of March, I'm going to go in there and buy myself a Caesar salad.
Then I'm going to stab that salad thirty-five times.
Irony at it's finest.
2 hour delay! Yay!
*suddenly a painful bright light filled the storage container, and the silhouette of a woman with long, well cared for hair appeared in the light. For a moment, Trip thought it might be Adra, then he realised she was a about a foot too tall to be Adra.*
#ChaseForBook9
Well screw you too, Trip :P
Wbd, tablet being odd
*Crimson entered the metal box, and was instantly hit by the distinctive smell of dirt and generic plants, although she knew, from looking around, that this thing was filled with scourgeweed.*
#ChaseForBook9
Ms. Dark, sadly that is not irony.
I know it isn't irony, Sir. I couldn't think of the word, so I had to fill it in.
Hello, though.
It's true. I didn't want to speak up, I'm not sure why, but s
Sir is a man to rally behind!
#ChaseForBook9
*fiddles with biw tie*
Hi Sir!
Well, Ms. Dark, you could have called it history repeating itself.
Greetings, Blogland.
I'll keep that in mind next time I tell that joke to someone, then.
I've been out of it all day, so I might as well take this opportunity to forewarn you all that there is a chance I might fumble my words again.
Crimson: Are you are all right? *She asked, already knowing the answer.*
Trip: Fine, tip top condition.
Crimson: *sits by the poor guy, putting her arm around him* Now, that's just the scourgeweed talking.
Trip: I'll have you call it by it's proper name, Kingsfoil!
Crimson: Trip, that's from Lord Of The Rings.
#ChaseForBook9
Quite.
It is entirely understandable, Ms. Dark, I may do so myself, as my author is currently in the bathtub and calculating the momentum of two flying pieces of clay.
I do that all the time. I wait for the moment when I drop my phone in the water.
*heh*
Curious about that, though. Clay pigeons.
-
Trip you're killing me
That is just odd Sir
Merely normal pieces of clay, Ms. Dark.
My author is an odd person, Ms. Kerias. A bit too far so, in my opinion.
*She pulls out her phone, and, purely for the sake of having something to do, begins to fiddle with and reset her voicemail*
*Waits for the beep*
*It beeps*
Hello, you're trying to reach Adrasdos Dark. If you've gone to my voicemail it means that I've seen it, and I'm choosing to ignore you. If it's an emergency, then, text me, and I'll see what I can do. However, although I am currently in Peru, if any of you try to break into my lab, I can be there in seconds and kill you. Cheers!
*She ends it*
*Cracks a smile, then it fades*
And like the herb from the epic, scourgeweed is seen as a weed, when really, it's a blessing against evil.
Crimson: No, it just numbs down /your/ emotions. No one else's.
Other channelers!
Crimson: Of whom there are a few hundred.
#ChaseForBook9
It depends on the size, shape, and velocity of the clay, I suppose.
And the weight.
Hmm...
I am sitting in a car at an all boys school, occasionally walking into the canteen and asking my mum for free food. And people keep walking by to get their uniforms and books for tomorrow. Fun
Actually, Ms. Dark, ignoring air resistance, momentum merely relies upon the mass and velocity of the objects. And as it was an inelastic collision, the clay was essentially one lump by the end, thus simplifying the search for multiple final velocities.
Hrm.
Heh. Weird you Aussies going back to school :P
Aye..
Wet clay or dry? Probably one that was more damp, considering your current climate, and how it would have stuck...
hm.
(Sorry, sleep beckons.)
Crimson: *looks him in the eye* Trip, you need to leave, you have a life, a job.
No, you see, I've been keeping up with all my work! *holds up a laptop*
Crimson: And how will you charge it?
I am a charger! *electrical energy crackles up and down his arm*
Crimson: Please don't do that while you're high. *shudders*
#ChaseForBook9
You are going, Trip? :/ *hugs*
And that is the one superpower I would ever need.
Good night, Mr. Castalan. Sleep well.
Hmm... This Irving story is becoming quite tedious to get through.
Since it is quiet...
*Hums*
"“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
I really love this play.
Ha. Silence
"It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours.
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore,
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)"
Alright, if it's like this for the rest of the night, I might head off, but probably ghost unless it picks up.
Goodnight! Sleep well! Or have a good day, depending on your habitat.
Well I'm here I wanna write
((Ari: Hello everyone! I only have a few minutes, but Niccolò really wanted to be here. Is anyone still here, for that matter?))
#ChaseForBook9
ARI!!!!
Hello Aretha, Niccolo how are you?
((Ari: We're alright, thanks. How are both of you? *hugs both*
Niccolò: Hello Adra, Zafira. Would either of you be willing to engage in a trifle of roleplay? There is a matter for which I wish to seek multiple opinions.))
#ChaseForBook9
(Sure Nic
Of course, Niccolo, I would love to. However, I might have to decline, for the sake of retaining the peace.
And I am still out of it, but doing better. I got on my medicine Saturday, so I'm not really sure- everything is just a little dulled..
(Regards to Ari- me I am fine, just concerned for my niece. She fractured her arm and has walling pnuemia As well.....*nods*
((Ari: Actually, on second thought, I think we have to go now- sorry! We'll most likely be back tomorrow.
I'm really glad you're doing better, Adra, and I really hope the medicine works out for you.
Night, all!))
#ChaseForBook9
(Alright Ari and Nic! I'll be on after 5
See you then! *hugs*
*sits in treehouse with Christopher playing and Olivia coloring*
Olivia: Momma! Lorcan's silver angel is in my room.
*smiles* See now you can stop fighting Lexi over Coco bear, you have your own special object.
Olivia: *goes back to coloring*
*sighs continuing the paperwork*
Olivia: Where is Daddy?
Christopher: Daddy?
Daddy is working Christopher...and Olivia same.
Olivia: you always say that
It is true darling.
Olivia: *goes over to and lays head in lap*
Hey there...*plays with her hair*
Olivia: *yawns and falls asleep*
*gently picks her up and places her in her room*
Javier: *goes inside the treehouse*
*jumps* Javier....
Javier: Hey Zaf.
What do I owe the pleasure?
Javier: I wanted to see you.
After trying to get me killed and sacked? No, I suggest getting out before I arrest you again.
Javier: Zaf, please...I owe you.
You owe me a hell lot, get on with it.
Javier: I'm...sorry for doing that. You are a strong leader and I was wrong to try to get you. I'm a horrible father to my daughters...I am never there. And I want to change it.
*glares* I'm married, moron
Javier: Maybe you shouldn't have left me.
If you're here to beg then go. I'm happily married and do not need you.
Javier: Zaf....*takes her hand* Look at me, I'm the same boy you met when training. Who was there with you the day your dad died and the day you had the Surge. I am the same person.
*silent for a few moments*
Javier: I am. I swear.
*walks over to and hugs him*
Javier: thank you *hugs back*
I spy with my little eye another fucking loss for my house.
Let your life be your dreams, integrity honesty its too late for me dont look back until you're free to chase the morning- Blind Mag

Hi...?
MOSSS
Heya :)
SNOWWWWW
SAPHHHHHH
I passed my belt-test. :-)
YAY *hugs Mossy*
I dont know what that is... but YAY
I have so much extra nervous energy still, though...
Moss; I get like that after exams. It's the only time I act hyper :3
Have the Superbowl celebrations calmed down at all?
SNOW *tackleglomps* It's a martial arts thing. I think.
Ohhhh. *nods* I know now. Yeah... I'm green belt in karate. Though that was... when I was 10...
Hi guys!
*huggles Sapphy* Thank you for reviewing my storyy
I've found this awesome playlist on Youtube I'm listening to on repeat :)
NARVI *flyingtackleglomps* *Pokes* thank you for sharing the pure goodness of the Mycroft bunny :P
BRB
WHY OS YOUR NAME NARVI??
Oops. Caps lock
*thinks Snow's pic is almost as awesome as her*
*Adores Plain White T's*
*pokes saph's nose* shush you.
Well, there are no more fireworks, but there are still 12th man signs everywhere.
Yes, I take Hapkido. I'm a yellow-belt-white-stripe. :-P
[Waves to Ember]
Sorry I'm distant. :-/
*Eats Snow's nose*
'Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away,
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all...'
Snow, you're brilliant and awesome and amazing. :-)
BACK!
*flicks moss's forehead* nuuu
EMBERRRRRRR
*high-fives Favis* Congratulations on getting your new belt!
MY NAME IS NARVI BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY A TRIBUTE TO A FICTIONAL CHARACTER
Saph: The Mycroftbunny IS very fabulous ;D
Moss; Hapkido? Remind me never to fight you irl ;) Or at all, really.
Narvi; I feel I should know this reference.
I am being amazing. Stand back and watch
*Stands back and watches*
I don't THIIIINK you do, Sapphy... but I could be wrong! And it's both the first and last names that are part of the reference.
*rolls back and closes eyes*
XD. You can't actually see what I'm doing yet. BUT YOU WILL
*consults the magic cue ball*
...Nope. I dunno.
Snow; You're being you. That's enough. *Eats her ear*
Narvi; Maybe not, then :)
[Raises an eyebrow]
[hugs everyone]
Should be a bit less distant...
I think I'm going to officially start calling you Moss. *nods*
Narvi and Dione are both moons of Saturn.
...
That's completely irrelevant, isn't it?
Oops.
*cuddlehugs Moss back*
Moooooons
YES
That's why I remembered them! I love astronomy.
TA DA
and there will be moreeee... just wait
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
And yes, Sapphy, exactly! :D
Okay.
Technically, Fabi or Favis or whatever is fine, too, I just haven't changed my name back because people usually just call me Fabi anyway. :-P
But Moss suits me better.
So yeah, either is fine. And I should probably put both in my name...
Moss. I think Moss.

#ChaseForBookNine
You know when you just CANNOT be bothered to do something?
#ChaseForBookNine
And then sometimes you just sit there thinking about how pointless doing it is, and how little it will benefit you in life. And then you realise you're wasting time thinking about it. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
And then you realise you're on a blog typing all this up and therefore NOT DOING IT.
#ChaseForBookNine
I suppose it's like many things, though. Like when I say things that I find interesting and no one cares because it's totally irrelevant to their lives.
And maybe this will not benefit me in life
but maybe i'll gain something from thinking about it
BUT THEN AGAIN I'M STILL SITTING HERE NOT DOING IT.
#CHaseForBookNine
Sorry i poofed....in history now
Greetings my strange compadres
