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...

How is it hot to you?
O.O Ward is here.
I am, Asgardian. Where are the others?
Others? I'm not sure I quite understand. I'm Asgardian, yes, but I don't... Oh hell you're HYDRA's leader.
Well... Not giving you any help, buddy. No way! I don't like HYDRA, I'm very fond of Zafira Kerias and her and Fitz are a thing....
*walks closer to Zanida, taking out a knife* In my experience, Asgardians are immune to bullets, give me a way to Fitz or I kill you. I am not in the mood to fight with an Asgardian.
[6/27/2015, 15:14] Star Inkbright: *general head-shaking from Demigod Central*
[6/27/2015, 15:15] Star Inkbright: *or nodding or whichever fits best here*
[6/27/2015, 15:15] Catherine: ((That's lazy. That's a new level of lazy.))
[6/27/2015, 15:15] Lizzie: ((Yup))
[6/27/2015, 15:15] Lizzie: ((seriously dude))
[6/27/2015, 15:16] Star Inkbright: ((XD))
I know about you, you killed your family, lied to everyone, tried to kill Fitz/Simmons... Your file is long, Ward. I may be Asgardian, but I have morals, and one of those is to never harm my family. You want help? Want answers? Fitz put two plus two together the moment he saw you. You're like me, Asgardian. You want to know how? We summoned a demon who knew what made Loki and I the same as the people of my realm. He did it to Zafira, FitzSimmons monitored me and her for days until the truth was: it worked. We did it to Fitz, and again monitored me and him and he survived. We had three vials, we reported to Coulson one was missing shortly after your people raided the bus.
I knew Fitz was smart. So you and I are even now, Zanida. Your brother seems content to work with me. *leaves*
Loki.... What?!
(*melts*)
*freezes Sil back up*
((ooh))
(*is an ice cube now*
*falls over and smashes*)
*freezes her again* Hey... At least Ward isn't lurking
((O_O))
(Mmm. Windows are greatttttttt. *hugs Zan*
My friend is lightly obsessed with my birthday because its Scarlet Johanssons, Black Widows and the guy who plays hulks birthday too.)
(Hello *collapses in exhaustion*)
@Jai: XD Cool!
Liliana: It would suit you.
Parasite: But did you not create her?
Bethany: I love you so much.
Ember: You might want to watch out. Both soldiers of Minerve and Archeos are here.
Cool! Hence why Banner and Romanof are a thing.
*watches from the trees, looking for Fitz*
(Hey zan, grant, Soph and star and anyone else)
*lays in the grass and hears Zafira walk with Fitz, showing him around Blogland*
Fitz! Zaf! Ward...
Fitz: He's... Here?!
Zafira: As in... The Grant Ward? HYDRA leader and all?
Not actually here right now, because my phone is almost dead, but I am going to respond to anything that was addressed to me or the general populous that was said after I went to sleep:
Jai: Thanks, I did ;)
K: Tis alright, I did random other things on the Internet, and I agree with Star on the wear shorts situation
Star: OMG YES FRIENDSHIP! There are very few things that I stop explaining every time because people think it's annoying or it is tedious to me. Only one, I would say. So yay, there IS someone else!
Shadow: No, not annoying in the slightest! I actually really enjoy your writing every now and then, and I am glad you get to express yourself, so win-win situation!
Alastair: Good is complicated. Good is anyone who goes after what they believe is right for themselves and the greatest amount of other people or just the latter in a very determined fashion. I guess.
Disclaimer: little ramble so my ramble disclaimer applies: I find it interesting that the words "good" and "bad" are some of the first simple words children use most frequently, and then they are some of the words that are the most simply defined and synonymous with "nice" and "mean," respectively. But then when we get older, it becomes so much more complex, and two of the most debated and hardest words to define. So who is right, the simplicity of the children or the complexity of the older people? Generally I agree with the first group, but in this case I believe that society is missing that happy medium. I don't know...
(Hi byii vi!)
*sees Fitz walk with Zafira, and walks into the open* Congrats, Fitz. I see you found someone.
Onwa: Mm.. I hope so. And you?
James: I turned her, I did not create her.
I love you too Bethy
Fitz: *sees Ward and runs at him*
Zafira: Fitz no! *grabs him* Don't.
Fitz: Simmons said she'd kill him...
So let me kill him.
(Hi Jai ^.^)
(*whispers* Fitz had Simmons! Before the stupid rock.. but she'll be back! She's on the cast list for the next season!)
(Hey Chloe.)
(How art thou ?)
Liliana: Black or purple, of course.
Parasite: You made her what she is, which means you created her. You moulded her.
Bethany: Bethy? *she smiles* I like it. *the glow gets brighter*
((We know she'll be back and I think Hull too because both were sucked into that thing. You can talk to any of them in rp :) Fitz is happy to talk to any of you. -Zaf))
(Oh I'm fine. I don't actually watch it xD I just have a very obsessed friend.)
Onwa: Mmm.. *smiles* Good.
James: Hmph.
*grins, playing with her hair*
I thought we were past that, Fitz. We're all the same now, you and Zafira and I... *sighs, as they all talk of killing him* Kill me, it won't help. I did what I had to.
(*curls up on the settee* )
Ward, shut up. You might be a big and mighty HYDRA leader, but I can make you suffer. Now, three of us against one of you, okay twp since Fitz isn't combat cleared.
Fitz: For him... I am.
Since Fitz is an agent we can arrest you... So!
Or you can let me go. *walks away and vanishes*
(*hugs Chloe*)
Guys... We have to keep searching.
(*huggles* I'm tired
walking in heat makes me sleepy)
(@Chloe I think walking in heat makes everyone sleepy.)
(I guess so ^.^ )
(*frowns at the time* Hmm.)
(What's wrong Jai?)2
Zafira: *hugs Fitz close* Come on, we'll go back to the bus.
Fitz: *goes with her back to the bus*
(Just wondering if I'm going to be fed tonight or not..)
(You nee food )
Liliana: They are my colours, after all. Mmm... I might get a purple streak in my hair for the ceremony.
Parasite: I feel as if there is a limit to how much revenge you can have on a person. Given her powerful friends, would it not be better to preserve yourself and distract yourself somehow? There are more fun things to do than target a single person.
Bethany: *she sighs happily, the glow getting so bright it illuminates the entire room*
(@Jai: Can you get yourself something, if not? :/
@Andviolet: :)! YES! FRIENDSHIP!
And also, yay that you agree with me. :)
Mmh, well, I'd say the complexity of older people is right. Maybe because I am an older person. But hang on, I have a good argument for this. Let me find it.)
Morgan: Okay.
*focuses on sensing for anyone nearby, although that's been hard ever since he moved realms - like trying to see underwater*
(Hey star!)
(*was given takeaway, again*)
Onwa: *smiles* Whatever you do it'll be beautiful. Hmm.. perhaps you should wear silver, then I can wear black or purple?
James: Such as?
*grins* Mmm.. beautiful.
(I haven't had a takeaway in ages)
@Jai: :/
@Inky: Hi. :)
(@Chloe I had pizza yesterday. Today I've had a fish sandwich thing.. even though fish makes me feel sick..)
(How art thou ?)
@Jai: Once again - can't you find anything else?
*not meaning to sound impatient. Sorry if I came off that way. Didn't realise I might do until I posted
(Ah, I see Jai)
(@Star you didn't sound impatient :)
I have chocolate but that's it
AHH NO DON'T DO THAT)
(Sorry. Cat tried to jump through the window into the roof.)
(I see
My road is always full of cats)
(I love cats :) they're awesome.)
(I love cats and all but I'm a dog kinda gal)
(Nah. Cats for the win!)
(Dogs are for the win!!!)
(Cats!!!)
(Dogs!)
(Agree to disagree!)
(Um . . . neither?
No animals for the win!!)
(*raises an eyebrow*)
(*laughs at star*)
(Hehe XD)
(*realizes how MEAN that is and stops*)
XD
This is what it feels like when my friends are arguing over which of two guys is hotter. XD I'm just there like "um." XD
@Jai: ?
Um gtg for Merlin now. :(
(Byii Star!)
(no walks, no hair, no smell, no claws, no teeth)
(#goldfish ftw)
(Hehe Taia XD)
(Not that I actually have goldfish, but, hey :P ^^)
(I did
Many times
Didn't last long)
*Sighs* I missed my Alastair..
I ran a 102 fever on the plane, and it broke too- I got a little sleep... But I'm miserable. Mum is going to take me to the urgent care, because I have been sick for seven days... I hope it's deadly
(*huggles noelle* don't hope that! You'll be just fine! )
(+1 to what Chloe said *bro hugs noelle* )
(now, wbd reading
So *waves* *retreats to the distant corner, book in hand* )
@Chloe: Yeah. :( I did too, in the past. ^^
It's good that you got some sleep, at least, Noelle. I hope you get better soon. :/
I'm sorry you missed Alastair. :( I'm sure you'll be able to catch him some other time, though. *hugs, if that'd help*
(Msd)
I hope not...
I just am so miserable
This trip sucked
(Hi byii rhos
Cool Taia
Some trips are better than others Noelle, can you try something fr me? Try smiling
Even if it's just once
It may make you feel a bit better)
[hugs Noelle]
I'm sorry your trip wasn't fun. :-(
I know, Noelle, and I can't imagine how you must be feeling. :/
But at the very least, the trip's over, and maybe home will treat you better than Europe did?
(Hey mossy!)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTa14Sui7mw
Noelle, listen to this if you want to
It may help (depends on the person really, it helped me )
And again +1 to what Chloe said :) ) )
... *hug Rhos*
Liliana: Silver does not suit me.
Parasite: Many things.
Bethany: *her cheeks go more red, the glow getting even brighter*
Ember: She is close by. This way. *she starts to walk down the dimly lit corridor* *she ignites torches on the walls with a flick of her hand*
(Thanks rhos *bro fists*
My favourite rom con is on later!!!)
Hm... I'm sorry, that didn't work..
Just everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong, and I'm dehydrated, and about to throw up and fever and just
Ugh
(I hope your illness improves soon, Noelle.)
(*hugs Noelle* I'm sorry that the trip wasn't as good as it could have been.. but at least you're going back to familiar surroundings? I hope whatever it is it isn't deadly..)
Onwa: Mmm. Doesn't it?
James: Such as?
*smiles* Mm.. my little star. Blinding in her brilliance.
(Get well soon!)
I'm sorry, Noelle. :(
Try to drink plenty of water and take it easy.
Getting so sick along with everything else is grim. :/
You might feel better once you're getting better, though... I hope so.
I think I have to go. Dinner. Guests.
(Hwyl fawr Taia!)
It probably isn't, but I just want it to be.
Just
I'm going to have no break all summer because I go on my dig and then to Brown..
I mean
....
Not to mention how all the people on the trip made me feel like a waste of space... Standing at the stern was the most liberating feeling
I just want to close my eyes and never wake up
(hey... I'm back. )
Liliana: No, it is too bright.
Parasite: Torment someone else? Get yourself a girlfriend? Travel?
Bethany: I'm not brilliant...
(You aren't a waste f space Noelle!
Hey conductor)
(Noelle you aren't a waste of space..)
Onwa: hmmm. Perhaps.
James: Finding someone suitable to torment is a task. We have already discussed why I am unable to find a suitable mate. Travel.. is boring.
You are
(Hmmm
Today has been a nice day )
*hugs Taia back* thank you :) )
*bro fists Chloe* you're welcome for what you said was good :) and sounds good :P )
Okay Noelle, at least you tried(?) and as people have been saying and I'm going to echo, get well soon ) )
(Now, people cool if I make a ded to something?
Yeah? Cool, thank you
So I ded to these words (also song lyrics)
'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
These words (and lyrics) have real meaning to them, because its saying to not give up
Don't be a quitter, just keep going
No matter what life throws at you, because if you push on things will improve
Remember, its the pebble that makes the mountain and with that I come on to part 2
So now pt 2
I ded to not giving, to being like a shark, to keep moving forwards
To those times when life pushes you, you push back harder
It takes a strong person to keep on going, not to just sit down and say I'm done
Sometimes it hurts to keep going but the pain makes you stronger
Like the saying
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (or my personal favourite version of that:
That which does not kill me... Should run! )
Okay that was a little cheesy but hey it gets the point across
Be like a boxer, get punched and punch back harder
Though with life its not how hard you hit, its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, because life will beat you to your knees if you let it (yes I know thats the Rocky speech, well parts of it but again it has truth to it)
And now I think I'll end this on some fine words:
Sometimes a kick in the teeth is the best thing for you
Walt Disney
Thank you for listening *in a Morgan freeman voice* )
(Hear hear!
Friends wth benefits is a great film
But awkward to watch it with family though)
(You aren't a waste of space Noelle ! I hope your fever comes down :(
!% !7 !346 7£47 ! &^0" 4 (£349 "4+ 70 &!77 +0~2$3l;¬ !^ 4^^32!(4 ? :/
Hear hear. )
(Hear hear.
@chloe never heard of it.)
(It's a rom com with mila kunis in it)
(yeah i was typing that earlier, so yeah
And Noelle, you aren't a waste of anything at all
Keep that in mind it may help you ) )
(Thank you one and all who said hear hear and to the people who haven't
*bro hugs you all*
I do apologise for the length of it, I just rant sometimes lol
That was a good rant ) )
Not really here for long, might disappear after this comment, but -
:( *hugs Noelle*
I'm sorry . . .
You aren't a waste of space. :/
(*hugglez*)
Liliana: Black and purple are the only colours that suit me.
Parasite: Out of everyone in every realm that exists, each being infinite, I can assure you that there is someone compatible with you.
Bethany: I'm not...
Onwa: All colours suit you
James: One can hope so
You are to me
((I'll speak out of character breifly, you are not a waste of space. If you breathe, you are not a waste.))
(I second what ward said)
Liliana: Hardly.
Parasite: I assure you.
Bethany: *she cuddles against her, nuzzling her neck*
(hey ward :P I agree... dost thou need me/ want me... ?)
Onwa: Definitely
James: Mmm. However the chances of meeting said person are minimal at best.
*sighs happily, relaxing*
Mmm..
If you can get me Zanida, sure.
(plus one to Chloe (again lol, Chloe you're on a roll ;) ) and Ward
Thank you kind person (<that's coz I'm not sure who you be so I don't know if your author is male or female see ) )
(so, my head being a strange fun place has decided that a bit of mischief for Garrett and Tawnee would maybe spice things up a little...
So I have two ideas,
The question is
Which should I do?
1 or 2 (I'm not saying what they are coz they're secret)
So peoples make your decision please :D ) (either one, both are fun for me :P ) )
(2)
(3 :P there is always another option they don't tell you about always! :P )
*Wanders through the forest looking for Zanida * Yo ! any asgardians up in the hizzle?
(2! Rp?)
((My author is a male, he wishes to not share his name yet, but promises he isn't the real actor.))
Liliana: Only black and purple suit me, Onwa.
Parasite: *she shrugs* You never know.
Bethany: I love you so much.
*is hanging from a tree, for hell of it*
(Okay Jai, thank you :) )
Lol K, thats good :D
So yeah option three is your vote )
(okay so option to it is, thank you Chloe
And yeah sure *grins* )
Carmine: *appears in a flash of lightning outside the Tawnett household* *adjusts his top hat and walks to the front door, a smile on his face*
Onwa: Mmm
James: *rolls his eyes*
I love you too Bethy the beautiful star.
*grins*
Taw: *is about to leave with aron and cora*
*opens the door and sees car* oh! Hello
(Okay Ward :) fair doo's and lol that's a shame... Would be proper fun if you were the actor lol :D but okay just adjust the comment to fit )
Car: *still with the smile on his face* *bows his head* hello madam, how are you this fine day? *offers a handshake* (mischief time here we come lol
The only thing I'm going to say about it is, that if all goes to plan this could cause trouble ) (so lets hope it does! ;D )
Taw: *shakes his hand* I'm very good thank you. Well... Tired too, kids...
And you are?
Carmine: You're very welcome, yeah I understand you they must tire you out *smiles to both of the kids* and me
I am a Mr Carmine Azurah, pleased to make you acquaintance *tips his hat slightly, so Taw can't see the mischievous look in his eyes*
Taw: but they're worth it . I am Tawnee, can I help you?
*keeps walking searching for asgardians* Hel- *walks face first into the invisible bus* ((guessing and hoping???)) -lo .... *lays on the grass for a while wondering what happened not bothered to get up*
((Its actually a plane Coulson calls the bus))
*jumps down from her tree* Idiot.
Carmine: My my, what a beautiful name for such a beautiful lady *gently strokes her cheek and smirks* and its not what you can do for me but what can I do for you?
((I know I watch the show and have seen all the movies also read the comics :P yes I'm a geek ))
*looks at her as she jumps down* I didn't see it coming... if you didn't know any better you'd do it too... *gets up and wipes himself down looking slightly embarrassed* I was looking for you not for something invisible.
Taw: *mives away slightly, a tad freaked out* I'm... I'm fine, I don't need help.
So gay pride was AWESOME.
(Hey Trippy!!!)
(Herrow! How are ye?)
(damn right Trip :P :D hehe hi btw *is currently working on a photoshop gif for the conductor that is john williams again but a rainbow stream coming from baton :P*)
Carmine: Are you sure? *retracts his hand* how bout I take you out for a drink?
Maybe get to know each other a bit more *gives her a seriously convincing smile*
(I is gooood
You?)
Taw: I'm sorry, but I need to look after the kids... And I'm sure gar will be home soon...
(That sounds super cool, Con!)
(Wonderful! I had a lovely day.)
;that's good ^.^)
(Hey trip *bro hugs* and yeah :D finally fifty states of gay! (not my joke but I found it hilarious) yeah and that's good how you had a lovely day my dear friend :) )
Carmine: I don't think this "Gar" would mind if you went for one drink... And surely you know someone who can look after the kids for a while? You seem like you deserve a break *nods*
https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=usgxqNcf8zU
I can't stop crying it's so beautiful
And I just wanted to share it
In case any of you need it
Taw: listen sir, I need to look after these children. I will not go out with a stranger. Good day *goes to close the door *
Indeed, Inkles.
(*crushingly returns favour* It was great. What's going on in the rp?)
Carmine: *laughs* okay, I get you *is talking through the door*
But what about if I said your "Gar" is with another woman right as we speak?
So I don't think he's coming home anytime soon..... But don't worry... I'll take my leave *turns to walk away*
Taw: *opens the door and glares* listen mister, my gar wouldn't do that
Well what the hell do you want with me?
(lol, trust you trip *is now slightly crushed* and currently I'm feeling rather mischievous and well Carmine is just doing his thing.... And kinda causing trouble too and thank you(?) )
Carmine: You sure about that? *a slight snigger in his voice*
Do you want me to show you?
Taw: I trust him. He promised me *crosses arms*
That was indeed prettu awesome Fabu :) Good day?
Carmine: I'm sorry to break it to you but he's lied *conjures a ball of electricity in his hand* *the ball goes transparent, then shows Garrett in bed with Silvenia*
I again apologize for being the messenger of such awful news... *tips his hat in mock sorrow*
Taw: *steps back and covers mouth with hand* no... That... It's a trick...
(Yeah, sure, a vampire is gonna sleep with the Hunter who's boyfriend/husband he killed.)
(Could've at least chosen someone who isn't gonna hate him. She'd probably sooner drown him in saltwater.)
((Vampire? Hmm.... Silente you and I may want to talk, I heard you have a thing for wanting Zafira dead?))
(Fabi you made me sad :( kinda a good kind but still ... that video speaks 1000 words)
Oh... uhm nothing, nothing at all. *Shadow Walks to her grabbing her swiftly and walking to where ward was Ward was* Got her !
(Duh, that's how it works, right? Kill them and take their power/boyfriend/husband)
((Oh come on! Is everyone taking a leaf out of Derek's book and attempt to kill me off? I promise, if Landy couldn't kill me, y'all are going to fail- Grand Mage Kerias))
( Sil: *raises an eyebrow at Ward* I don't associate with other people when I'm fulfilling my vendetta's Mr Ward.)
(Con:I didn't kill you... not yet I just delivered you to ward! )
*yelps, and kicks him in the shins* Hey get off!!!
(Sil: You forget, Zafira, that although I most definitely show no positive emotion towards you I am.. calming down to some extent.)
(Sue sylvester is my song!
I'm a bitch I'm a lover!)
(Thatlittlevoiceinthebackofsilshead: you're going soft.)
Stop, Asgardian. I have a way of making myself your handler, and I know how you hate following orders, so cooperate with me. I want people with the will and power to follow me and take down SHIELD, properly and for good.
(I'm a child, I'm a mo- Wait nope.)
(you have a point Jai but remember Gar has a way with the ladies... So yeah he would do that if he was wasted, which he might be... *smirks* and yes Silvenia would probably kill him but she might be working on subtle revenge here... It'll come out later... :P )
Carmine: *shakes his head* I wish it was.. I really do... But no its truth (or Carmine could be lying... ) I saw it with my own eyes *offers Taw a reassuring hug*
(so basically,
Is Garrett cheating on Taw (again... ) or is Carmine lying?
Is Silvenia working on subtle revenge or is it all a myth?
The answers will come later... ;) )
No. My husband is an Avenger, and I'm friends with Fitz.... You're asking me to hurt people I care about. No. And you won't lay a finger on me, Ward, unless you want to freeze slowly to death.
Taw: *stands there, shocked and a tear rolls down her cheek*
*struggles gritting his teeth at the pain in his leg* Nope! I have a mission to complete, then I might get some respect around here. *looks to ward as if expecting some acknowledgement of his work.*
(Oi! I went soft, and look at me now, basically the best guy on the planet except for one or two people, who are an obstacle who shall soon be removed from my path.)
You forget who is working with me, Zanida. What has SHIELD done for you? They hunted down your brother, I would never harm him. He is helping me, you can join him.
(Soft people are awesome
I think jack has turned soft ^,^)
*kicks again, and forms an ice shard in her hand* I am not Loki.
(so who are the obstacles trip? Who needs removing? :P
You sound like someone who wants world domination? )
Carmine: I'm sorry... *wipes the tear away* lets go inside and get you some tea *gives her a friendly smile*
(I dedicate this page to the film friends with benefits
It's so romantic and funny.... Comedies are the best medicine)
Taw; nods* o okay, come in *goes inside*
*Puts shadow handcuffs on her and steps away* *he glares at ward* This was your plan? *sighs* You know if I had the mind for this I'd let her go and help /arrest/ you.
Thank you, Con. *takes out the Night Night Gun* I really hate to do this, but you won't comply.
(Hear hear :D )
Carmine: Thank you *follows Taw inside and closes the door*
Right, you go sit down, I'll make the tea okay
(*rolls eyes and sighs*
*blows up Zaf's sanctuary, again*)
Arrest me all you want, I can still win.
(If I say who they are they will be prepared, and then I might lose the championship.)
*struggles to get the shadow cuffs off* I wouldn't mind killing Ward- Keep that damn gun away from me, Grant Ward!!
((*force feeds Sil saltwater* Bad vamp!-Zaf
*raises eyebrow* like I said win lose makes not difference to me I just want to have fun.
((Zafira should ask Fitz to make a salt water gun so when Sil tries to kill her, Sil gets salt water.))
Taw: I I'm sorry *sits down*
(Sil: *coughs and chokes*
*quickly grabs one of those epipens and stabs herself with it*
*gasps and swallows, coughing*
*growls*)
