First Draft Done!

I... I think I've just sent in the first draft of the new book...

It's rough around the edges, with some bits missing, some chapters blank... I don't mind this at all, because when my agent and me editor look at a first draft like this, they're focussing on the big picture, things like;

Does the story make sense?

Does the story work?

Are the characters consistent?

Is it as tense as it needs to be?

Does it have enough pace?

Is the book any GOOD?

These are all things I don't know, because when your head is down and you're working away, you can't look up and step back far enough to see how everything slots together. I hope they don't have any major issues with it. I hope they like it. I hope they think it's GOOD.

As I explained in a previous post, I scrapped most of what I'd written for this book at the end of December and started again. In the last month, I've had to average about twice my usual daily word amount to reach the deadline. It has been as HELLISH as it has been rewarding. I've barely been able to take any breaks, not even for twitter. The work isn't over, of course it's not, there's still a lot to do — and if my editor or agent find any major flaws in the book, that work will double.

But I managed it. I got the first draft done by writing twice as much per day as usual, and the only way I could do that was by having ridiculous amounts of fun. I wish I could tell you about it — I wish I could tell you the title that spun it off in this brand new direction — but all these things are yet to come.

Right now, though, we are gearing up to release the Armageddon Outta Here paperback in two days. As usual, I found myself in a Catch-22 position. I had a paperback coming out of a book most of you already bought in hardback (or trade paperback — the hardback-sized paperbacks), and I know a lot of you would want every edition available — because you're uber-geeks, just like me. So I wanted to give you an extra story or two (or three, as it turned out) to make it worthwhile. Of course, by including new stories, it kinda also makes people who were NOT intending to buy the paperback want to buy it, cuz they want the new stuff.

I don't like making my readers buy multiple copies of my books. If you want to, hey, go right ahead, I won't stop you, but I've never wanted anyone to feel left out if they don't buy every edition. There are some things, unfortunately, that I can't win no matter what I do. So apologies, for those who feel like they ARE missing out. That was not my intention.

But what ARE these new stories? Well, for those Billy-Ray fans out there, two of these stories are about him. They were sequences that just wouldn't fit in the last few books. Death and Texas throws our favourite hit man deluxe into a Texas Chainsaw Massacre situation, with a notable twist. Eye of the Beholder, meanwhile, explores some of his history — including how and why he lost his eyes.

And then there's Theatre of Shadows. The original version of this was written in an afternoon, behind the scenes at the roleplaying event in Dublin last year. It was at this time that I learned one very important lesson about writing — don't try to write and publish a story in the same day.

The original was flawed. This new version is radically different, and it takes the original's place in canon. So that story that was sent to everyone who took part is now a one-off, never to be reprinted.

There are some other, minor changes to one or two other stories in the collection. For instance, I noticed a mistake too late in Across a Dark Plain, which made a mess of where the story sits in continuity. This mistake is now fixed, as will be a corresponding mistake in one of the books. Remember when the Dead Men were talking about the war, and Shudder's birthday? There was a pretty significant typo that I hadn't spotted, which basically set that story a hundred years after I had meant it to take place. All that is now changed, and once again the stories make sense.

I think.

The paperback is out on Thursday, and right now I'm going to go shopping. The cupboards are bare. I won't be able to poke my head up for too long, though — I got work to do.

Good thing I love it.

Bethany: *she closes her eyes* I will regenerate blood within seconds. It isn't possible for you to drain me dry.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

Ignore my brain. It's kinda hot and sick.

Nothing wrong with that, Duggy.)

(Hey Adam)

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

Annabelle: *darts past the crack, howling still, panting, muscles quivering*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: With what, Ember as the chef?

Bethany: Cooking children is horrible...

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

Annabelle: *whines and snuffles at the crack*
*scrabbles slightly at it before squeezing through*
*pads over to Jesa and lays beside her, ignoring the cold, damp conditions*

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

Joking Beth..I'd never cook a kid..

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello. I have a headache. I feel ill. I feel like puking. I took some random pill from the medicine cabinet, hopefully antibiotic or something.

Anyways, it's 9 pm and I'm in bed, on my phone. Hello.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Tia.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Good evening, Sophia. How has your day been?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Somewhat boring. Your own?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Boring as well.)

Two stories about Billy-Ray Sanguine!?

Ah, it's Christmas!

XD
hey Clara.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Clara. Hello, Dugglyn.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hey Sophia.


How are all yey'all?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am depressed, yourself?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Clara and Duggy.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Sick and bored.
Hey Tia, how are you?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will be back soon.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I'm okay, probably. And distant. *hugs Duggy*

*looks around*

Hey... you got- you got any more of that purple?)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*hugs back*
Huh?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sighs*

-Zaf

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hey Zaf, how are you?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Zaffy!*huggles*

How are you?)

(Purple! The purple stuff... I need it. You got any?)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

What purple stuff?

Noelle said...

Clara, it is impertinent that you please check the comments of your new blog.

-Noelle

Star Inkbright said...

I don't think she's online atm, Noelle, and I don't think she reads back. :( :(

Star Inkbright said...

If everyone online tries to remember to tell her next time we see her, though, hopefully one of us'll remember to do it. :)
(Probably not me. I don't have an awful lot of faith in my memroy for things like this.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm bored.-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Do non-school things, Zaffy.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I have been. I've been home since the weekend I go back tomorrow and Thursday and am off Friday.

-Zaf

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

She'll probably get an email about it, so she'll know.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Watch a film? Browse Tales from Retail on reddit?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Huh?

-Zaf

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Soph.

It's interesting sometimes. Better than boredom.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Almost anything is better than boredom. In the same respect doing something, no matter what that something is, is better than doing nothing. Or feeling something, even if that thing is sadness, is better than feeling nothing at all.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

This Bloglandian archive thing seems a lot more sinister than when I first heard about it...

Noelle said...

Agreed.
It's all very presumptuous.

Like, I want Adra as my own- I have a desire to write a story about her and publish it one day, and if not, I am convinced that no one understands her and can award her with the same amount of depth as I.
.... She's my thought baby.

...this archive thing made me cry. I'm incredibly proud of my independence, and it felt like it was being taken away from me beneath my nose, surreptitiously.
I should go, before I bash the idea further, or cry further, or cut more, etc. this is making me very upset.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Noelle*

It's okay...)

Jophiel said...

*curls up*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hello, Rose.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*curls up with Danni*

(Good morning, Danni.)

(Hey, Zaffy!)

Jophiel said...

Hey Loki.

*snuggles up against Kas*

Hi.

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

(*jerks awake and checks the time*
*curses*
SORRY SOPH SORRY ARIA I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING A DRINK AND I CLOSED MY EYES FOR A MOMENT THINKING AND ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND SLEEP HAPPENED and now you'll have both left me anyway..)

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

(*sighs and dejectedly crawls back away, Aria definitely won't be here and Soph probably fell asleep*
*not one email..*
*whimpers and sleeps*)

Jophiel said...

Hey and bye Sil.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(You can get up earlier and talk then. Good night, Jai!)

(How are you feeling, Danni? What's the plan for today?)

Jophiel said...

I'm so tired... I was supposed to go to work, but my little brother kept wanting my mum in the middle of the night so I would have to go out and get her... Then I gave up and slept on the couch while mum slept on my bed. And I can barely concentrate with my foot... So I'm not working today...

Jophiel said...

How are you, Kas?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

That's why I actually can see you....

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Have you found anything to do?

Maybe getting more sleep?

:/)

Jophiel said...

*Takes Loki's hand and pulls him to the ground so she can lay her head on his lap*

What do you mean, Loki?

Jophiel said...

I woke up at 10:30... I shouldn't sleep in...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(But you're tired and there's not much to do :/

*ponders whether to rp with Danni and Zaffy*)

Jophiel said...

I've been sleeping in too much recently, Kas... And school starts Monday...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Afternoon nap?)

Jophiel said...

I've got to take care of Roh...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Early night?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Usually you never are on. *kisses her cheek*

Jophiel said...

We have dinner at 9pm... I don't see that happening...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(No rest then... still, I hope you have a good day.

...and you too Zaffy!)

Jophiel said...

I have my moments, love.

*smiles up and kisses his side*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

This is why I need you...You make me happy.

Jophiel said...

Thank you Kas. And I hope you have a good night and day tomorrow :)

Jophiel said...

And you make me happy too. You're my everything.

*Reaches up to take his face in her hands*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jophiel said...

*giggles and kisses him back*

John said...

(*Poofs in*
*Cuddles Rose*
*Poofs out*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey. Sorry, I was looking at heavy/tactical bombers. Weird shapes. Maybe not so weird. But different. All of them. Very different. I'm looking at the B-1, B-2, B-17, and XB-70 Valkyrie. I really am amazed at how some planes are expected to be used for about a hundred years.

And they're so pretty... I can't even decide if I like the B-1, B-2 or XB-70 the most.

But the B-2 is so beautiful though.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*attacklehugs J on his way out*)

Jophiel said...

I'm not a massive fan of planes... But, you should look up a Ford XB coupe from 1979. They are nice :)

Jophiel said...

*didnt even see J's comment*

*cuddles him tight and doesn't let him poof*

John said...

(*Frowns when something keeps him from poofing*
*Tugs at Rose a little*



*Gives up and continues to cuddle her*)

Jophiel said...

*smiles happily and cuddles J tighter*

We're you trying to leave me...?

John said...

(No... I was trying to go back to causing mass terror in Infamous...

*nuzzles her*)

Jophiel said...

Well, you're not doing that. I require J cuddles.

*giggles and pokes his cheek*

I missed you.

John said...

(Seems a fair trade...

*Pokes her cheek back*

I missed you too. You need to come on more.)

Jophiel said...

*Grins and scrunched up her nose*

I don't like coming on here... It hurts...

*nuzzles him back*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Aww, we miss you, Danni*

*hugs and runs away*)

Jophiel said...

*Hugs Kas before he leaves*

John said...

(Then email me...

*Smiles and cuddles her tightly*)

Jophiel said...

Why don't you email me? Why should I start the email chain?

*nuzzles him some more and cuddles back*

John said...

(*Grumbles totally intelligent excuses*

>.<)

Jophiel said...

*Giggles and bops his nose*

Gotcha!

John said...

(*Scrunches up his nose*

Yeah yeah...)

Jophiel said...

Naw, don't be unhappy that I jarred you.

*Cuddles tighter and beams up at him*

Ily!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am back.

John said...

(*Sighs*

Love you too...

*Cuddles tighter*)

Jophiel said...

Hi Loki!

Sassy didn't want me to take a selfie :)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Welcome back, Zaffy.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*dies of cuteness overload*)

Jophiel said...

Why did you sigh? Did I cuddle you too tight..?

*softens the cuddle*

Sorry...

Jophiel said...

Kas don't die... I have a cuter picture of Sassy :D

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

The dog is quite adorable.

John said...

(No, I sighed because you got me.

*Cuddles even tighter*)

(Hello, Noelle! Want to talk?)

John said...

(Hey Noelle.)

Jophiel said...

She is adorable :)

I got you J!

*giggles and nuzzles his neck*

Jophiel said...

Noelle?

Jophiel said...

And yes, that is what Australian grass looks like.

*hugs Noelle*

Jophiel said...

*beams and leans her head against J's shoulder*

What an odd idea, Clara...

Are you okay, Noelle?

Lavender Hope said...

WHOOHOO! Still on the first page, yes!

I KNEW DEREK WAS GOING TO MAKE A POST LAST NIGHT ARGH.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Damn it no okay I don't like Alastair back at all

Lavender Hope said...

...
*mumbles*
Maybe I should have- never mind.
*goes to actually read the post*

Jophiel said...

Oh, Clara's getting rid of the idea.
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the idea. It is creative - in a way - but I don't like the idea of my character's actions being used as a profit for another... :/

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs*
If only I didn't have to order the books... :/

Still, that sounds really interesting. And I guess I should be glad I held buying the books off for so long. Now I can be able to get the paperback without having more than one copy of the same book. Yay. ^.^

*hugs everyone because hugs are awesome and so are they*

Jophiel said...

*Goes off to find some food and to take Sassy out*

John said...

(*Pokes Rose*

meh.)

Jophiel said...

*was just about to go out...*

*drops to the ground, bring J, and cuddles*

Sleep.

(Good night, guys!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sighs*

John said...

(*Is dragged to the ground*
*Smiles and cuddles Rose*)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sits and holds the twins*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Thank you for that warm reception, Zafira.

Jophiel said...

Goodnight Kas!

*Curls into J's chest*

Hi Loki.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hey, Rose. Your twins want you.


Blah. Sorry Alice, but its just....I guess I miss Nic...you're...scary. Nic is a nice guy. Is there a chance he will be out again?

-Zaf

Noelle said...

49 in all

Angry red
Like an addict to cocaine they're in lines

Lavender Hope said...

...

Hi/bye it seems. I have to go anyway.
*poofs*

John said...

(*Holds her tight*

I missed this..)

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

Noelle, we love you, okay?

Jophiel said...

I will give them a cuddle soon, Loki.

*nuzzles J's chest and smiles*
Me too...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Good.

Leif: Cuddle! And Thor is king now....

Alastair Cruciatus said...

There is a chance, but it is slim. He was on borrowed time from the beginning.

*hugs Noelle tightly*

Jophiel said...

Thor is king...? When did that happen...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: Ah, borrowed time?

Yes. My brother believes me incapable of ruling.

((Hey seriously though, how much snow did you guys get, Alice?-Zaf))

Jophiel said...

I think your brother and I need a chat...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

To clarify, Zafira, I have said nothing so far in roleplay. I do not intend to appear in the roleplay again anytime soon, though that doesn't mean Niccolò will, either.
There is not as much snow here as was predicted.

John said...

(*pokes*

Why are you so cuddly?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sorry. Oops. And same here, Alice. It's just really windy I keep expecting the power to go out.-Zaf


Well he's off protecting Zafira, as per the instructions of Niccolò.

Jophiel said...

I don't know... I like cuddles...
