It's not easy writing a book.
I mean, it's easier than mining coal. It's easier than most factory work. It's probably easier than a lot of office jobs as well.
But STARTING to write a book... those first few inches you have to push that boulder till it hits the edge and starts to roll downhill... THAT'S the hard part.
Not as hard as teaching, granted. Or working on a farm. Or being a doctor or a nurse or a cop or a fireman. I doubt it's as hard as construction, either, or carpentry, or plumbing, or engineering.
But STILL...

Mwahahahaha!
Gem: Yeah, I sort of got that... Still, I enjoy going "Should I stop? Probably. Am I /going/ to? *laughs*

Con: I have mortal money if that's what you two need ? If you need somewhere I believe I could build something of adequate size out of shadow. it'd be fancy)
MrBBWolf: how's the flying?
She's been great *smiles*
Lilith: *flutters wings and hovers in the ar*
Kieron: What? How are you wrong?!? *violently shakes by shoulders *

@Dugglyn as a double agent: Do it. :)
@Andviolet: xD
@K: :/ ?
(Distantttt)
(I was wrong about me. *Takes her hands and places them by her side.* shh, it'll be fine.

Con: Okay then... Still what but I'm gunna pretend I understand... *nods and smile* Ah, yeah, totally! ;)
I dedicate this page to trees.
Trees are amazing! They are our perfect companions. We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide and they Breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. They offer us shade on hot days and fruit and nuts. And they are extremely fun to climb!
*hugs trees*
(Hear hear!)
Hear hear!
MrBBWolf: *smiles* Adorable.
(Hear hear!)
(Con: Chris and BBWolf are getting married... I asked if they would need my assistance.
People are. It's fine now. )
Chris: *smiles* she is, isn't she?
*smiles* shall I make tea?
MrBBWolf: I can h-help?
(Sorry con! That would be well appreciated)
(also hear hear Dug.)
Nah, you two can have some alone time if you want
*leaves *
Con: Oooh, ookie :3
K: Looks at him suspiciously...if you say so... You're SURE you're okay?
MrBBWolf: *smiles as she walks off*
Ben: *runs I to wolfs legs*
Lilith: brother!!!
(I'm sure that I won't say it here at least. :P
THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN YOU DISLOCATE YOUR ELBOW MID TYPE OWWWWWW! OMG ! *cracks it back into place* that hurt. )
MrBBWolf: *laughs, looking down at Ben*
Hey there.
*picks him up*
*look of pouting defeat, exhales* Fine.
Ooh, that stinks. Is at least your elbow okay?
(it's back in place if that's what you mean :/ it'll sting for a while brb going to take ibuprofen for it.)
" I have one last birthday wish.. Can I kiss you?"
"No"
"Come on, please?"
"No"
"Please???"
He put his arms around me and was going to kiss me, despite how many times I was saying no- I managed to swat him away, but he kept using his body as a shield to block the way to my door.
"Please, Noelle?"
I told him I was going to slap him if he didn't move. He did a little, and I rushed past.
...
Had I not moved, he would have kissed me and I would not have liked it and it would have been so inappropriate
It was scary... He's blocked my way to safety a few times, and I'm afraid of him. He won't leave me alone until he gets what he wants. And he will physically stop me from leaving him.
Carter helped me out though.. Still
...
And the dehydration made me almost faint- I'm about brown right now in color of discharge, and my throat feels like it is being scraped by a knife... Not to mention the horrible headache.
Second worst day. The first being Dani making everyone hate me... Nearly jumped off the boat.
Just
I want it to be over
(Noelle... you should eat more.
And get this guy done for sexual harassment?)
@Andviolet: *laughs* I got distracted with research, and now I'm not sure what was funny, either. :P
You're just naturally comedic, I guess. ;)
(Side-note that comedic may not actually be a word. :P)
@Dugglyn: Hear, Hear! :) :) :)
@Keiron: *winces* Sounds painful. :(
Ben : *smiles* heWwo!
Chris: *smiles* someone has a new friend
Lilith: beeeeen!
MrBBWolf: H-hello Ben..
Sorry, mini poof, got a sandwich
Taia: Yes it is, and duuh, I already knew that *hair flip and insanely creepy smile*
(I would've punched him !)
Ben: *smiles* wedding?
Tegan: walks over pouting* upsies. *to chris*
Chris: okay, teg *lifts her up with one arm$
MrBBWolf: Y-yep.. is where two p-people who love each other are l-legally bond-ded..
*laughs slightly at Chris holding two babies*
Chris: whaaaat! +bounces them up and they giggle *
Ben: wolf loves chris!
(I have a high pain threshold. so mildly discomforting with a side of omg! don't let that happen again plez.
get a drink, drink until no longer thirsty/ dehydrated keep filling ect then throw one in his face.)
MrBBWolf Y-you..
*blushes*
Y-yes I do..
Ben: *giggles*
Chris: I love you too
MrBBWolf: *tickles Ben gently, smiling*
Oh gosh, that's awful Noelle! Is there anyone you feel comfortable telling on the trip? :/
Drink water! Really, you'd feel so much better!
Mom's card got frozen so we couldn't get Euros... And I skipped breakfast- so I didn't have those... And dinner was pizza >.<
so I didn't have a meal...
Angela said we couldn't bring our backpacks today so I didn't have water
I just
I'm about to jump out this window and just get myself some relief. This has been terrible
Ben: *riggles and squeals*
Chris: be careful *laughs*
Noelle. :( :( :(
That's awful. :/ :/ Echoing what Jai and Elleni said, is there somebody you can tell, to try and sort that out? You shouldn't have to put up with anything like that. :/
Try to drink something. I hope something good happens for you, soon, and it's not too long before you can get back home.
Oh D:
Hope you get food and water soon :((
Please don't jump out the window...
(@Noelle just get something to drink, find something to eat if possible and lie down, get some rest.)
@Noelle: Oh. That's unfortunate. :(
Can you get water now?
Please, don't jump. :/
Yeah . . . what everyone else is saying.
Drink.
Food.
Report for sexual harassment.
*nods*
Or y'know, tell someone. Either way.
I'm sorry you're having a terrible time . . . :( *hugs*
MrBBWolf: I-I'm always careful.
*smiles*
Except for wh-when my wings pin me..
Chris: *rolls eyes and laughs*
+calls upstairs* tea is ready!
MrBBWolf: wh-what do we do with the babies?
Chris: shall we bring them downstairs ?
MrBBWolf: Okay..
*smiles, carrying Ben downstairs*
Lily? Try fly downstairs beside me?
(what would you guys think If I got blue hair? :P /any other colour? / I kinda want it and I am going to try out some edits on photoshop to see what I like :P)
(@Keiron: More you reminded me how nice you were and I was just there like "Eh. I'm too mean to people.)
Mmh. Congrats to Wolf and Chris, I guess. Sorry for my lack of an emotional reaction - I just don'don't much believe in marriage.
(Neither does Morgan, actually. I may need to make him stick around just for that reason.)
There's a really great rainbow here rn.)
Morgan: *nods, again*
So who are the gods and goddesses? Is a god or goddess just someone who has control over a realm?
@Keiron: It'd be cool. :P
(@Star I don't think marriage is too important but Wolfie was insistent.)
Lil: okay dada
*flaps wings and flies besides wolf*
Chri: come on teg teg
(awhh thanks :P I try :D )
(He added meeeeeeeeeeeeee
*screams into her pillow*
*now what does she do*
*what does she say*
*Eeeep*
Anyway i'm going to bed cause i was falling asleep playing minecraft with Brandon.
Night guys.)
MrBBWolf: G-good girl.
*smiles at her*
Maybe l-later we can try flying?
(Night gemmy. I'm glad he accepted.)
LUA IS HERRE OMLI I CANT WAIT TO SEE HER I MISSED HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!
;nos da gem)
Lil: *giggles* yessss!
MrBBWolf: *smiles at her and enters the kitchen*
Liliana: I presume we still don't have a last name?
Parasite: That is fine by me.
Bethany: Would you like to go to your old room and talk?
*hugs Andviolet, because she went quiet?*
... *hugs Elleni, too*
@Keiron: O_O photoshopping is a good idea :)
I did that when people were arguing about what colour to paint walls/doors. It worked rather well :P
If you like the blue, absolutely go for it. C:
@Star's rainbow: !!! :)
:) Night Gemma.
@Jai: Yeah. He seems like someone who would believe in marriage. :)
^Which I take absolutely zero issue with and don't think any worse or better of him for it.
@Taia: :) It's fading now, unfortunately, but yeah. :)
I have returned!
Kieron: Colored hair is cool! Every year I dye my hair purple(in streaks or dips or whatever though, I wouldn't look good with a full head) then my one friend bleaches some and dyes some or all, two more of my friends do tips and/or dye then another has natural bleach blone and does different streaks and one time my other friend did a streak, and we look awesome! I enjoy hair dye... I'm sure it would look great on you! I don't know exactly what you look like, but my point up there is that most people look cool...idk...sometimes I have a point, sometimes I don't, with my rambling...
I'm a rambler :3
Chris: follows
*tea is set up, with cake* viola
Taia: *hugs back* Naw, I didn't go quiet, I just had a sandwich :D
*hugs Gemma* :) !
Good luck!
Sleep well, Chi. ^^
@Star: Aw. :P
Onwa: No we don't.. Hmm.. that'll be strange..
James: *pours more Champaign*
Would you like the eyes?
No.. its fine.
(-------------> me just now *goes to add colour* )
Star: That sounds soo awesome!
If you guys haven't picked up on this yet, I like dyed hair, and rainbows, and colors, and more colors :)
MrBBWolf: Th-thanks Inky.
*sets Ben in a high chair*
IM SO HAPPY OMLI OMLI OMLI I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN A YEAR THIS IS SO APPLESAUCE
(yes I'd need to bleach first :P )
(yes I'd need to bleach first :P )
@Vi: Rambling is good. :)
But I also ramble so idk maybe I'm biased.
ANd- Oh, OK. :) Was it a good sandwich? :P
Chris: *seys Tegan in her chair*
There we go
*teg smiles*
*hugs Dugglyn* I'm glad that you're happy an d :) :) :) :) :) !!!!!
[leaves hugs for Noelle]
*hugs Taia!!!!*
:D :D :D :D
MrBBWolf: Lily, sit down.
Taia- yes, I enjoy rambling, but in real life I try to always put the disclaimer "If I start rambling(generally about Skulduggery Pleasant, but also just in general), feel free to shut me up, I will not get offended." XD XD
Also, I enjoy how you made it seem like you were talking to two different people by addressing one of your comments to @Vi and another to And. XD
I'm in a laugh-y/happy mood... That's a good thing :)
I personally like blue hair, but then again, I'm probably biased. [shrugs]
Lil: *lands I. Her chair and smiles*
Dig in everyone *smiles*
*has read through comments, smirking*
MrBBWolf: *smiles back at her*
*carefully gets some cake, nibbling at it*
Chris; *choosss chocolate cake and feeds some to liliyh*
MrBBWolf: *smiles*
*breaks some of his cake of, giving it to Ben*
©*leaps at Ward, a dagger in her hand*
*gives some to tegan*
Chris: *smiles* this is nice
MrBBWolf: it is..
*smiles*
Chris: is ed coming to the wedding, ink?
*smiles but a touch of loneliness in her eyes* I'm sure he will
@Andviolet: XD
I meant 'and' as in 'also' (which I guess I do if responding to two different points/comments, never really thought about it?), but I wish I HAD thought of it because THAT'S SO COOL :0
Yay! for good moods :D
*hugs Moss* :)
(---------> me with spray on blue hair b4 :P
Con: I could take you grant.)
MrBBWolf: he's welcome if he w-wants to..
Thank you, he wouldn't miss it *looks at Ben and tegan*
Liliana: We could always make one up?
Parasite: No, I am fine thank you. Far too... squishy.
Bethany: ... Please could we go to your old room and talk?
Ember: No, it is more complex than that. The gods... Alright. *she pauses* Before everything else, there were two forces. One was the creator, and made the general space for the realms to go inside. The other was the destroyer, and sought to destroy what had been created. These two forces pushed and pushed against each other until both shattered. The shards became the gods. The shards of the creator became gods like Phaestra - the goddess of light, life and creation - and those from the destroyer became gods like Minerve and my father.
*moves away, grabbing her dagger hand and twisting it, to make her release the dagger*
Really?
*she sighs*
Ugh, I don't like this anymore..
*turns into mist, solidifying again on his head, holding another dagger*
*tries to stab his eyes*
MrBBWolf: You're w-welcome..
Onwa: Oh! That could work. Hmmmm.. last names..
*sips cider, thinking*
James: Forehead?
..okay.. if you want to.
Taia: Huh. Cool that it worked out like that then. So... How's your life?
Chris: you miss him, don't you?
*nods*
MrBBWolf: Thats n-normal..he'll b-be back..
I hope so, and soo.
Chris: he will inks *smilesi he has a great family
*grabs her again, and runs at a tree, hitting her head into it*
Get. Off
Oh wait, my hair's pinkish now.
I'd actually forgotten that.
Oops.
MrBBWolf: A w-wonderful family.
Person whose username is upside down: What should I call you, for future reference?
*turns into mist again*
I really don't like you Ward. You are an awful person.
*solidifies, stabbing his leg, before becoming mist*
*smiles* thank you, and you guys are a part of it too
Chris: awwww
@Fabigail ooh, cool!
(I need more pink in my hair)
(any thoughts at all ? I take criticism well.)
MrBBWolf: I-i don't think he'd like that..
@And Either Moss, Fabi, or crazy upside down weirdo, I don't really care.
Liliana: *she has another drink of the cider, also* Do you like any last names?
Parasite: I am not hungry, thank you.
Bethany: I do. *she nods, standing up*
@Andviolet: Ah, pretty good, I guess. Last two weeks of school, and most people are out on trips/work experience/laziness/etc, so I don't have many classes. Which is nice, because I can stay home for some of the day. And the science dept. keep pleasantly making tea for people who turn up to lessons. :)
On the other hand, I'm gonna have next to no free time this weekend, and I still have to put together an entire presentation for Tuesday, so I'm working on that now. :/
Also, I'm going to miss possibly my last two lessons with one of my long-time favourite teachers, which is sad. :(
But, mostly I'm good. :)
How're you?
@Fabi: Oh XD
Why not? *tilts head* that wasn't any of our faults *looks at lilith* and look at her...
*glares* Hail, HYDRA.
Testing...
Crazy upside down weirdo: Okay, Fabi, I guess. Hi Fabi! *waves obnoxiously in her face*
K: It looks awesome!
Okay this just looks weird, and I can't really be bothered to either carefully recolor only the hair or make a new, more accurate picture from scratch. Never mind.
@Keiron: Looks cool! :)
If you like it, go for it. ^^
@Fabi: WOAH, YOUR PICTURE !
THAT'S COOL :)
Taia: Well than a little sad but mostly good!
Onwa: Not especially?
James: Okay.
*steps back to give her room then goes upstairs with her*
MrBBWolf: he still blames me..
Hehehe now I'm EVIL.
DIE MORTALS
[waves obnoxiously back at And]
(*hides from moss*)
He won't
*offers hug to Fabi*
YAY. EVIL.
(*CUDDLES FABULOUS* Yey!!! Evil!!!
Also hint for psychology, DONT say you'd kill someone..)
MrBBWolf: H-he does..
@Fabi: *laughs*
I like that one, too. XD
@Andviolet: :)
*solidifies, smirking*
Hail HYDRA
*turns into mist a floats away*
@Fabigail oh no!!
*flowers behind a pit of flowers*
Please don't kill me!
Hell get over it
(first thing i did of course.)
MrBBWolf: W-will he..?
Now I'm purple and somewhat faded.
I'm a ghoooooost
Haunting these halls
Climbing up walls that I never knew were there
(I haven't actually studied psychology that much. O_O)
[hugs Jai]
[Is now a less-evil ghost, but is still kind of evil because I haunt people]
*nods* he will
(AHHHH
I FORGOT AC/DC WAS ON THIS PLAYLIST
HIGHWAY TO HELL COULD RAISE ME FROM THE GRAVE, I SWEAR
100% BEST SONG TO SUDDENLY APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE )
HHHYYYYPPPPEEEEERR DDDDDDUUUUUCCCCCKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
(@fab xD)
MrBBWolf: Okay..
Inverting pictures? Hm...
TIME TO MEET THE ANTI-FABI
@Keiron: Also a cool photo edit ! :o
@Fabi: Whoa!
... you could haunt people with hugs and good vibes, if you wanted? :P
(I think I be off to bed now
Nos da!)
Fabi: wait...PURPLE?!?
Dug: Well of course, what else? Non hyper chickens? That would be too strange... *shivers at the idea*
Now da Chloe! *huggles*
HYDWA HYDWA HYDWA WOKI WOKINPOKI LOKI LOKI HYDRWA HYDRWA
*turns into a telepathic ninja owl and eats cheese*

Oh yeah, speaking of purple, I've got this, too. I made it a while ago though.
I wonder if I can figure out which app I used and make something like this out of the blue hair picture...
I KNOW TAIA I KNOW BEWARE PEOPLE AND OTHSR CREATIRES BEWARE
Oh no! Not the exploding paper towels! D:
THANK YOU DUGGLYN
Also thank you And! :-)
I love editing pictures. Especially of eyes.
Oooh, that's so cool!
Fabi: PURPLE.
And they're all really awesome looking.
(I suppose blue hair now ?------------> -needs a hair cut bad though.... I don't know if the person likes short hair or long though so I've just shorta let it grow for the mean time )
@Fabi: YOUR EDITS ARE SUPER :) :) :)
@Dugglying: *bewares*
(nooooo! lol *thinks* brb)
Morgan: *nods*
(Coloured hair is cool. But bleaching your hair is really bad for it. Just cautioning you.)
*snuggles Henry*
there are eels in the Forest.
Eels I say.
EEL
EL BELY!!!
OMLI what if it was radio Stuart instead of radioactive!!
* Dugglyn
(where tf did 'Dugglying' come from? o0)
@K: Awesome..!
As for a haircut - I would say to have your hair how you prefer it, not how others like it, but, yeah. :)
*laughs*
The owls brought it.
*nods wisely at Taia*
THERE.
(It's the same picture as the blue hair one, but the hair didn't look very good with the effect, so I cut it out. It's also not very purple. :-( )
@Lantern: :) It's really pretty. :)
I kind of like this eye better though...
