Die Horribly Winner! (And finishing a book)

I have just pressed SEND.

By pressing SEND, I have emailed off the completed book to my agent and editor. It will now be sent to the copyeditor who, amongst other things, will be checking for grammar and spelling mistakes that I've missed but, more importantly, will be ensuring that everything I've written makes sense.

She will be checking facts and figures and timelines, scouring her notes on the other books to make sure I haven't contradicted myself... A good copyeditor in invaluable, and I have a great one.

It's done. I wrote the two Scapegrace chapters that I'd left until last. Oh, and I ALSO included the winner of the Die Horribly competition...



It took me until last night to pick a winner. I was sent 30 finalists out of everyone who entered. Of those 30, I quickly whittled it down to 15. Then, not so quickly, down to 10. Then it took me ages to narrow it down to 5. Then 3.

There were some great entries. Lots of funny reasons why people reckoned they should be the reader I pick to kill horribly in the book. But I needed something specific. I needed something that would fit in with what I'd written. And there was only one reader who fit PERFECTLY.

So congratulations to Lewis Holmes, from the UK. You shall have the distinct honour of being Horribly Killed in The Dying of the Light.



Lewis' death was the last thing I had to write. Now it's all over. Sure, I'll be sent the copyeditor's notes to approve, and there'll be a little more fiddling around between now and printing time, but...

... but it's over. I have finished writing Skulduggery Pleasant.

I think I need to lie down now.

Hello. How are you Star?

Mary Contrary said...

I can see that you and me
Live our lives in the pouring rain
And the raindrops beat out of time to our refrain

And you and me will win, you'll see
People die in their living rooms
But they do not need this God Almighty gloom

There's something warm about the rain
There's something warm, there's something warm
There's something warm in everything

I know there's something good
There's something good about you, about you, about you
I know there's something warm
There's something warm, there's something warm
Good about you


:) :) :)

Hello!


*tilts head*

I keep realizing that Book 9 is done, and that there's not much point in tagging any more.
BUt then I immediately forget and tag anyway. *facepalms* :P

I hope the hashtagging worked, anyway. ^^

Luciana said...

Morning:3

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Taia! Hey Lucifer! How are you both?

Chione Asahina said...

I'm fine, just you know... playing slender.

Hey Mushroom . . . :)

@Silente: Not really. But I don't have a sore throat. And I'm happy, so it's all good. :)
How are you? :)

@Taia: Maybe. :P

Mary Contrary said...

I'm good, thanks Silente! :)
Ill, and cold, but I have The Jesus and Mary Chain playing, and I'm successfully remembering the revision I did yesterday, and it's nice. :)

Morning, Luci! *hugs* :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: The lyrics make it seem so . . . :) *hugs*

Never played Slender either, but I never play anything, so . . . :P

Chione Asahina said...

One slender was really good and gave me the fright of my life... oh god.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Slender man
Slender man
Just want someone to hold my hand
Sick and tired of being on my own!
Every time
I drop by
Pewdipie starts to scream and cry
Can't they see that I just want a friend!

Just cause I don't have a face doesn't mean
I should feel so out of place when I'm seen
I don't mean harm I want love
To open up
But NO!
They see me standing and they run!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Are you any good at the Slender Man Chi?

Chione Asahina said...

I'm good at finding pages. Not as the slender man.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Ah okay. I forgot you can play the Slender as well as the survivors.
11 days Chi..

Hunter: There would be no point in asking, seeing as how you're clearly not going to be fine in a moment. *grins*
How do these things start?

Chione Asahina said...

I fell asleep at about 2:40am and when I woke up he was watching a movie so he couldn't call so I said I was going back to sleep and switched off my computer...

this morning I checked Skype and he had got his laptop and tried to call me, leaving the film and his family then got angry because when I go to watch a movie I don't come back or stay and talk to him...

but I get forced to watch a movie because I'm always on the computer talking to him and if I don't go then I might get my computer taken off of me because I spend too much time on it...

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: I'm sure whichever you choose, it'll look great.
Because, y'know. :)


--Sorry. Internet went off.

I think I'm gonna go. My head's getting spinny and computer screen & whatnot.

Chione, I don't know what advice I've to give, because I don't know what happened/what is happening. But whatever it is, you're perfect, and whatever comes from it, you're still perfect.
And, I don't know. But, good luck, alright? ^^

Bye, all!

It was about 4:15 when I woke back up and was still really tired... it was only 11pm over there...

Hiya Blogland!

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: @Emerald: Haven't we?
Sorry. Star's brain has poor records, you know.
Which DOESN'T mean she's pathetic.
Hi.

I know he will forgive me but I try my best to stay up and talk to him...I really do... The time differences are killing me.

Star Inkbright said...

((Hunter: Might be going a bit nore distant now, because Star wants to continue drawing . . .
She's such a rubbish scribe, I swear.
And she knows she is, but she can't be bothered to be better. *sighs*))

Who likes my new dp? Corvo drew it for me, she's ace at art

Don't worry about it . . . if you're trying your best, which you are, you don't need to feel bad about it . . .

I'm ill but good, Rhydian. :)
You?
Hunter: . . . I'm okay. *nods*
You?

Mary Contrary said...

*shuffles back in*


Chi, it sounds like that's probably down to just spur-of-the-moment kind of misunderstanding.
Have you tried just explaining your situation calmly? Perhaps you could just discuss that and try to reach an understanding, or a point where you both can work out time comfortably where you're able to
talk.

Difficulties with timezones suck, and it's hard to get around them some times.

But I would suggest that it is probably not so healthy to keep yourself up so late every night, because if that's gonna take energy and/or general livelihood out of you, then you probably can't keep it up for long, and realistically, maybe it's not fair to have to compromise your health suchlike?

So, I'm not saying don't ever stay up, but perhaps not every night?

Maybe that will mean that the time you get together is less, but I think that the time together would be much better spent if you're not tired and all of the negative things that come with that loss of sleep.

I hope you can work it out alright between you. :)
*hugs* Again, good luck. :) ^^


*gone, now. :P*

Chione Asahina said...

Thank you Taia.

Star Inkbright said...

Star: Fours, Taia. :)

*in a dark, dusty bar*
*not half as nice as Trip’s bar*
*the sort of bar where no one is likely to ask questions*
*and where everyone is likely to knife you in the face if you look at them wrong*
*a man is sitting at the bar*

*he is drab*
*and cold*
*his clothes have surpassed filthy to become truly deplorable*
*he sits stiffly, and hunched over*
*his hair, once white, is now brown with crusted mud and filth*

*a barman stands behind the counter, slowly polishing a dirty glass with a dirtier rag, as all seedy barmen are wont to do*

Barman: Bad day in the universe, eh?

Hassle: . . . You could say that.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Hey Clara! That's fine Star))

Noelle said...

LOL

I READ barman as batman

Yeah


I'm still DYINg of last nights feels

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Greeting, Silente, Chione, and Star.)

Hassle: *sways on the stool*
Can I have another of those . . . things? Those things?
*gestures vaguely at a blue bottle behind the barman*

Barman: *glances at the bottle*
*raises an eyebrow*
You sure?

Hassle: Yeah.

Barman: *shrugs*
It’s your funeral.
*pours him a cup*

Hassle: *downs it in one swallow*
I . . . *hiccup*

Barman: Take your time.

Hassle: I . . . I’m not a bad guy, you know.

Barman: I’m sure you’re not.
*rolls eyes*
Whose fault is it?

Hassle: Not mine . . .

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Hey Adra! I did that too XD))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*frowns*
You had last night feels about Batman?)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Personally, I would go to more bars if all the barmen were Batman.)

Hassle: I . . . I’m not the bad guy.
I had a good life, y’know, good life.
I was rich,
well,
not really. I had enough to get by.
I had a brother, too. And a sister. And they were great.
Loved them.
*sways on the stool*
Loved them both. My little brother and big sister. Hell . . .
*cough*
Dead now, though. She . . . ah . . .
*slowly leans on the counter, as if checking to ensure it’s still there*
*rubs his temples, trying to calm his splitting headache*

Barman: Whoa now, take it easy.

Hassle: I like . . . I like drinking.
*feels drunkenly around the counter for his glass*
It . . . calms me down.
I talk a bit c-l-e-a-r-e-r,
and I
I
I’m not all garbled.
SSSSnot my fault, though! Not!
Can barely see, breath, think.
Can barely talk.
Not my problem!
Not my circus, not my monkey!
*his hand finds the glass*
*he slowly slurps it*

Barman: . . . Yeah, man, alright.

Hassle: Fire.

Barman: What?

Hassle: Sissy died in a fire.

Noelle said...

No, I had feels last night about Aladra and Tadra.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Ah. That makes rather more sense.)

Hassle: Me brother and I got stuck with the niece.
Wretched little girl, she was,
and we did what we could. Brought her to the Lockswitchs.
Nice family, nice. Mad old mother who weren’t around much, a bawling baby, a little idiot boy, and a teen hard on the road to being a lawyer.
*long, deep drink*
Perfect . . . perfect . . .

Barman: And what happened to the girl then?

Hassle: Well, she went blinkin’ mad, didn’t she!
Cracked!
Split! Went crazy!
*eyes wide and bloodshot*
And she went rampaging and burning cities. First she started with the mother what neglected the family, then the baby what kept them up at night, then the teen who made her do disgusting things for his pleasure, and they all BURNED. All of ‘em, dead!
And she killed my brother too!
*jerks away from the bar*
*wobbling back and forth across the floor on rickety legs*
He killed him! Killed him!
He was so soft, so soft! Didn’t want to hurt her, a little girl gone mad with the power of her Taken Name!
So I had to. I had to!
But it was her who killed him! Her! HER!
*slams his fists repeatedly on the wall*
*the barman hears brittle bones snapping, but Hassle doesn’t even notice*
I love my brother!
I love him, and she killed him dead!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Oh Chi......))
((Did you poof again?))

The Grave of a Coward said...

Barman: And what . . .
*swallows*
What . . .

Hassle: *whips around to stare at him*
What do you think I did?
I chased her down, ran her off her feet!
Said a few fancy incantations, and ripped her Taken Name from her body, along with half her memories!
And what’d I get for my trouble? What’d I get?
*violent trembling*
The void. The void!
Nothing. Nothing but the dark, and the monsters that live in it.
For five-hundred years I hung, hung, hung there! Forgot how to talk proper, forgot how to walk proper, spent so long without breathing that my lungs forgot how to swell. I was dead! As good as dead! But still, still I’m alive! A dead man walking! Ah!
*slumps over the counter*
*begins drumming his fingers on the bar top*
They’re looking for me, you know.
Looking, looking, looking.
*violent coughing*
*blood and mucus dribbles down his chin, onto his shirt*
They’ll find me. They will. They’re powerful, and I scared him.
*giggle*
I scared big bad Oscar Neurotic, and now he’s got his dogs after my scent. They’ll find me. They will. I had my revenge, but it wasn’t good enough. Her child will be a mutilated wreck, but the pain doesn’t hurt quite as much as I’d like.
Damn niece, damn bitch of a niece won’t call off her husband and let me walk free.
I’ll call him off for her, then.
*reaches for the blue bottle and swigs half of it down*
I . . . *cough*
I’ve been running for long enough. I’m dying, you know.
I think . . .

*outside, helicopter blades are whirring*

I think it’s time to turn myself in.
*giggling intensifies*
I’m gonna kill him.
I’m gonna kill Oscar Neurotic, and see her pretty little face when that wicked boy is smeared all over the walls of his perfectly clean little penthouse.

Barman: *weakly* That’ll be twenty-four dollars for the drinks . . .

The Grave of a Coward said...


Hassle: *doesn’t listen*
Of course . . . of course . . .
It’s all so simple!
You . . .
*mad grin*
You really know how to talk a man around!
Ha!
*tries to spring up from his seat, but only stands awkwardly*
Thank you!
*grips the barman’s hand and shakes it*
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
*grabs him*
*kisses him on the lips*
You’re a life saver! A jewel!
I’ll kill Oscar . . . teach him . . . teach her . . . oh, la!
Thank you!
*drags himself to the door, the bottle in one hand*

Barman: *flummoxed* Hey, wait!

Hassle: *walks out into the middle of the street*

*up above, black helicopters with white stripes on the tail fins are circling, their spotlights sweeping the streets, looking for him*

Hassle: *raises his arms*
Here I am!

Barman: *rushes out into the street*
*just in time to see a chopper spotlight train on Hassle*
*white symbols begin to flash and flicker around him*
*and he vanishes*

*the blue bottle falls to the ground and shatters*

*clutches her stomach*
*grinning*
*licks her again in the same place*
*right over her vein*
*hugs her and keeps licking her*

Chione Asahina said...

*forces the water to pull silente off of her*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*is pulled off*
*laughs*
*quickly swims up for air*
*swims back down*
*tickles Chi*
*licks her again*

Chione Asahina said...

*locks her in a bubble of water and freezes it*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*is frozen*
*glares*
*starts wiggling around slightly to make the ice around her crack and loosen*
*grins ignoring the fact she can't great*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

**breath

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

**breathe

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((*waits for Chi to come back from her poof*))

Chione Asahina said...

*swims up to the surface*

(sorry)

Mémoire Perdue said...

(You know those times you're overly concerned about someone who you feel like they shouldn't matter? But they do? Or perhaps you had a small relationship with them and they won't respond to your emails even though you know that they don't reply within the same week?

Well, yeah. I'm having one of those moments...))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Its okay. Are you planning to leave me down here?))

*struggles more against the ice*
*starting to go slightly red*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Hey Blue. Don't worry. Its not nessicarily a bad thing to have one of those moments. They can show you so much about yourself.))

Mémoire Perdue said...

(I'm aware, but still, I do continue to worry...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((I know. You will. But it can help you if you tred carefully enough :) ))

Chione Asahina said...

((Yes, I'm planning to leave you down there.))

*bursts from the water and puts a reasonably thick layer of ice over the lake*

*sits and waits*

Mémoire Perdue said...

(*She smiles half-heartedly at the ground but her eyes retain their worried expression*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Oh that's just great. Thanks a bunch! ;P))

*struggles more and finally manages to break the bubble*
*is now going slightly blueish*
*swims up and sees the ice layer*
*wonders how much energy she has*
*goes more blue*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((*pats blue on the shoulder*))

Chione Asahina said...

This came to mind there:

"Blue (Da Ba De)"


Yo listen up here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside
Blue is his house with a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and himself
And everybody around
'cause he ain't got nobody to listen to

I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

I have a blue house with a blue window.
Blue is the colour of all that I wear.
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too.
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue.
Blue are the people here that walk around,
Blue like my corvette, it's standing outside.
Blue are the words I say and what I think.
Blue are the feelings that live inside me.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Blue. Its a nice word blue. Bluuuuuuuuue. Very nice. *nods*))

*decides she better have enough energy or she's screwed*
*quickly taps her collarbones*
*her wings flare out making the water around her bubble and boil*
*face blue*
*lungs burning*
*eyes clouding*

Chione Asahina said...

*mutters to herself as she sees part of the ice starting to melt from the heat*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*blinks trying to clear the dots in front of her face*
*presses her wings directly against the ice causing it to melt quicker*
*is struggling to stay at the top now*
*starting to go purple as well*

Chione Asahina said...

*waits*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*eyes start bulging*
*beats against the ice*
*starting to get desperate*
*still hasn't melted through the ice*
*not enough energy*
*the wings start to dissolve*
*beats the ice one more time*
*passes out and stars sinking*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

**starts

Chione Asahina said...

*smirks*
*melts the ice and dives into the water*
*picks her up and places her on the shore*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*eyelid flutter*
*starts going back to a more normal pale colour*
*sits up straight and starts coughing up water*

Chione Asahina said...

*pats her back*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*stops coughing*
*blinks and focuses her eyes*
Ughh..
*shakes her head*
I really need to think more about how much energy I have. Using wings was a mistake?
*looks at Chi*
That was mean.

Chione Asahina said...

I know :3

I was just thinking how difficult it is to kill you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Its difficult to kill me for a reason. Even death don't want me!
*shoots her a cocky grin*
*tackles her and starts tickling her*

Chione Asahina said...

*the water grabs her and drags her to the bottom of the lake*

*runs away and hides in the forest*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*delighted smile*
I'm going through the Blogland Awards, voting for people, and just discovered that I was nominated for most proper since last time I checked the polls. How lovely! It's so nice to see that I've been nominated for things. I hope I win one.

*not really here*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*rolls her eyes and swims quickly to the surface*
Cheater!
*climbs out and looks around*
Chi. Think carefully. I've tasted your blood before, I can track you down whenever I need to.
*walks calmly towards her hiding place*
You can't hide!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Hey Clara! Its not voting time yet..we are probably exposing that part ,Monday..its still nomination phase..))

Chione Asahina said...

You haven't tasted my blood... have you...?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

When you woke me up. Remember.
*grins*
It was colder than most blood. Had an interesting taste.
*winks*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Just a reminder:

You're perfect. Lucy's definition of perfect.

You're perfectly you, and we love you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

The same goes to you Fabi.

Noelle said...

*Slithers in and curls up on a pillow*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Adra

Noelle said...

Hello.

I don't really know why I'm here.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hey Adra [hugs]

Hi Silente.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

To talk? To procrastinate? To have something to do? How are you?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Fabi you get to dedicate now! :-)

Noelle said...

No....

Not really any of those...

I dunno.

Alastair never came back >.<

Unknown said...

*Hey!*
*Hi!*
*How ya doin'?*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Aww. Maybe he's busy killing people or torturing people or..idk...wearing pretty pink bows in his hair and playing with a barbie doll.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*hello Samish nice to meet you!*

Unknown said...

*Wow, you picked up the asterisks thing fas-*
*How do you people keep knowing my name!?*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*I'm magic! No kidding. I'm just amazing like that*

Unknown said...

*oh*

*Okay, then!*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*how are you?*
*I'm Silente by the way*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Because habits are hard to break, and there are still remnants of memories left in your mind of times when you belonged here?

Unknown said...

*Uh*
*Well, I guess I'm good, or at least as good as I can be, cramped inside of some asterisks*

*Good to meetcha, Silente!*

Noelle said...

Erm...

Maybe not

Noelle said...

Maybe that, Fabu...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*do you want help getting out of these asterisks?*
*I mean surely theres a way out*

Unknown said...

*I mean*
*Maybe*
*I've sort of only been sentient for about a month now, so baby steps, baby steps*
