It's a proper book now.
Demon Road was a little over 121,000. I had wanted it to be 80,000, which is roughly the size of Dark Days. Obviously, that didn't happen. But I am DETERMINED that Desolation be of a more manageable size. It'll probably end up somewhere around the 100,000 mark.
Writing a book can be a struggle. It's just so happened that in the writing of this one, every time I started to flow, and write LOTS, I had to go off on tour or do festivals or get interrupted for a multitude of reasons. It's very hard to build up any kind of rhythm when your writing schedule is kinda messed up.
But I'm flowing now. I want to get this latest draft off to my editor on Monday, because on Tuesday I'm off on holiday to Disneyworld and Universal Studios.
For Halloween.
Ooooooh this is gonna be my kind of holiday. By day, we go to Magic Kingdom, and go on rides and visit Harry Potter world and just have good, nice lovely fun...
But at night...
Universal Studios over Halloween has the most terrifying horror experiences on offer, and I will be going and subjecting my girlfriend to the ordeal. I'm going to tweet about it. I'm going to take videos. You may see me scream.
But it shall be a manly scream. A WAR CRY.
And then I'll run away and leave Laura to face this guy on her own.
Gonna be FUN.

(Okay ^.^)
-hugs chloe and Kassy-
(*hugs Gemma and Chloe*
How are you, Gem?)
(*group huggles* hi gem *.^)
I'm ok. I'm tired. What about you guys?
(I'm fine, cutie.)
(I'm good ^.^)
[Spoken]
This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.
Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:
[Sung]
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)
[Spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."
[Sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his Whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[Spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.
[Sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
[Skat]
All right! All right!
(Just minecraft! Group survivals, minigames?)
Minigames?
We'd have to find mini game servers, mine is just a normal server where you can build and can do survival.
Right I have four windows and about twenty tabs open
This is ridiculous
Lol now my laptop is ceasing to function correctly. XD
Dammit thoguh I NEED all these tabs.
just save them, bookmark them?
(*rolls in and does a summersault *)
(Are corsets kinky?)
(*pounces on Chloe*)
(Argh! Sis!)
(*giggles*)
(How art thou? Little rascal! *tickles*)
(I'm sick. *does the Karen cough from mean girls*)
(That debate turned into a rather heated argument. Which I find rather odd. I do not think the justice system should be easy on criminals, but there is a limit on how hard you can treat them before you should also be locked up in prison. Anyone who claims mutilation and torture should be used in the justice system is only concerned with revenge and making themselves feel better. There is no logic in thinking that those who torture should be imprisoned, alongside the view that those imprisoned should be tortured. It is either a punishable felony, or it is not. It cannot be both. The justice system will only exist for as long as those involved in it are morally better than the criminals they punish. When the criminals and the system dealing with them behave alike, the entire concept is meaningless. What right would the system have to punish people for doing exactly the same as they do?
Justice is not about want. Justice is about necessity. You may want to hurt those who have committed crimes, and that is exactly why the more extreme forms of vigilantism are illegal. The system has to be impartial.)
(nawwwww, rest!
nive pov Soph ^.^)
(I have to go to watch the apprentice now bye)
(Bai!)
(No rest for the wicked. *grins at Chloe*)
(thats right XD)
(Hello, Chloe. Thank you. I believe some force may be necessary if a criminal has not been caught and is posing a threat. In a hostage situation, for example, it may be necessary to kill the criminal to ensure the safety of the hostages. But once they are in prison, they are posing no threat - making the acts of mutilation pointless. Even when criminals are released, unless you are certain that they are posing a threat - not that they may pose a threat - no acts of violence are necessary. One of the main purposes of the justice system is rehabilitation, to give criminals a chance to change. Violence will nullify that aspect of the system.)
(you always have such good points Soph ^.^
*watches markiplier play will you press the button*
he has a choice
everyone in Detroit dies, but he gets cake
or not
guess what he did XD)
(Hi)
(*huggles jai jai*)
(*she hugs Jaimie tightly* Hello, Jaimie.
Thank you, Chloe.
At a guess, I would say that he killed the population of Detroit, given your reaction.)
(*Huggles Chloe* Hey chuckles!
*hugs Soph tightly back* Hey beautiful.
Rp anyone?)
(I am not beautiful, Jaimie.
I, actually, would be willing to roleplay. I was actually planning on using Ila sooner rather than later.)
(Shhhh. *pokes your nose* Yes you are.
Cool! You can start? Also Onwa and Liliana STILL haven't tied the knot.)
(yep XD I mean, I would never wish death on anyone, but him actually debating it was hilarious XD
*cuddles jai* sure ^>^)
(@Chloe Yey! Really? Like actually?? You aren't busy anymore??)
(im free ^.^)
(I am aware. But I would like to discuss with you the specifics of the wedding before we continue that roleplay, as I have absolutely no idea what I am doing.
We can all three roleplay.
I will be back in a moment.)
(YUSSSS!!! *throws a party* Tresha or Wolfie?)
(That's okay Soph.)
(tresh! cause then I can use flauros)
(Okay! You start!)
Flauros: *walks around aimlessly*
*looks confused, some what*
Tresha: *is DEFINITELY not watching him from a nearby tree*
*is smiling somewhat dopishly*
*calls out*
Flauros? What's wrong?
Flauros: *turns* hello.... I don't know what to do... what is my purpose? what is there for me to do?
Tresha: Purpose?
*looks around*
I don't know if people really have a purpose. Maybe their purpose is to find their purpose and then fulfil their purpose? Although that wouldn't work would it because in discoving that their purpose is to find their purpose then I guess they've already fulfilled their purpose.
Flauros: right.....
(so sorry jai! I am off to bed
didn't realise I have a driving lesson first thing in the morning but I promise tomorrow night ill be able to rp as much as you want!
so sorry!
nos da!)
(aw..)
(I am back.)
(Hey Sophi!!!)
hab u seen an alien ples?
(Hello again, Jaimie. I am not entirely sure where to start.)
(Thank you, Sophia.)
hab you seen alien ples?!
(It is quite alright, Star.)
(Just anywhere?)
HAB U SEEN SHIP PLES?!
(Would you be able to start instead, Jaimie?)
(I can try? Hmm.. character do you want?)
(It is entirely up to you.)
(Mm..I msd for sleep..)
AU!Sil: *is juggling her daggers, bored*
Ila: *she is sat beside a dead body, finger-painting its face with the blood leaking from a wound in its chest*
AU!Sil: *her head snaps up upon smelling the blood*
*sheathes her knives, running to Ila and the dead body*
Mmm..
Ila: *she looks up* You look like a cannibal. Are you a cannibal? If you're going to eat me, I'll make sure to give you really bad indigestion, so you might not want to do it. If you aren't a cannibal though I think you should alter your facial expression a bit so people don't mistake you for one.
(What the heck, Frank?)
My dad just capped the internet for my fucking laptop during a 3 hour 40 minute video that i was doing.
-don't worry i'm splitting it up into parts.-
So pissed off...i hadn't even finished the game and i can't even go back tomorrow and finish it as i had already done it so i just did it from the start and didn't save as it would over save the game and i lost it all. So no. I also feel sick. I didn't finish lunch or dinner.)
(Hello, Gemma.)
(-sighs and tries to let off steam-
Hi Sophia.)
hey gemmy *hugs* I've got a question for you.
(*cuddles gemmy*)
AU!Sil: *laughs*
I'm not a cannibal. Well.. okay sometimes I am. But I probably won't eat you. The dead body.. Mmm
*grins*
Who are you and why are you painting a dead body?
((@Gemna: -_- That sucks.
Swearing in caps lock helps me when I'm angry . . . plus it tends to cause less damage than acts of violence do.))
Yes, frank?
And thanks guys
Parents can be annoying ^_^
oh...HABE YOU SEEN AN ALIEN PLES?!
Ila: I'm trying to make it look pretty? I find it fun. *she shrugs* I have a really bad attention span so I do things like this to keep my mind working. If you're going to eat the dead body, can you at least wait until I've finished painting it? Because otherwise I'd have done it for nothing. Well, I suppose it would still be for nothing if you eat it, but doing it this way I will feel like I've accomplished something. *she paints a smiling face on the corpse's cheek with blood* Do you know if blood is adhesive at all? I've never tried sticking something to it. It doesn't feel like the stickiest liquid ever though. Too watery. Too... not sticky. It might need to be more sticky if I want to stick something big to it, but I only have a few pieces of confetti. What do you think, strange cannibal? You look like an expert on bodily fluids.
Nope.
ahh dangit :P *hugs*
-hugs Frank tightly-
awwww *hugs back tighter* ^_^ sorry i haven't been on much...school+NCS+other things ^_^
I've only been finishing game of thrones, doing my youtube videos, going to Uni. And now my new job.
what's your new job?!
Working as a sales assistant in poundland. in poundland.
Ugh why did i add in poundland twice? >.>
dunno...you're tired? :P and hey, money's money...i go to pound land practically every day ^_^
( if it makes you feel better then I got to 754... before internet died and sent me to 694 afain lol
-hugs gemmy super tight-)
so well done :)
HEY K :P
( hey frank ... :D :P
not playing anymore... gonna watch stuff or someting )
heh, ok :P dunno if i have complimented your pic, i probably haven't, so will do it now...I like both gemma's and your prof pictures :P
( THank you :D :P Gemma done our makeup :P Well I did her eyes and her bunchies but she made me a skeleton in a suit :P )
<3
Watching my 3 hour 40 minute video back to edit it...yay...30 minutes in.
(<3 good luck with that... i'd leave it personally get some sleep, you have uni at 9 :P )
Yeah...slewp...
Night guys.
(*Quietly starts existing again in a little corner*)
Didn't you spell it "Solus" before?
(Did I? It isn't written as such on my character sheet but I didn't make that when I made this guy and memory is a fickle thing...)
I do believe moss is correct
(I do believe she is as well, and even if she isn't it does simply look better. Anyways I'm off to sleep now.)
I have to agree
Good night
[nods]
Solus Sorrow said...
Ah math, my old enemy.
Not really here.
AU!Sil: Its like henna; it'll dry on skin but it won't stick other things to it. Under pressure it rubs off. Don't use all the blood.
(Ugh
Driving at eight
Ew)
Ila: So my unnecessary teenage stereotype was right, you are an expert on bodily fluids. I'd consider myself an expert too, just not on blood. *she sprinkles a little confetti on the body* Do you want some candy? I always keep some in my pocket. I didn't ask for your name, strange cannibal. Oh well, I suppose it doesn't matter. I mean, well, it might matter if your name is something like Grumpy Candlesticks because then I get to laugh at you, but having a name like that is kind of rare. Maybe impossible. I'd just like to point out that I only stereotyped teenagers because everyone knows they're all hormonal and get up to some freaky things. By looking at you, strange cannibal, I'm sure you're perfectly not freaky apart from the whole cannibalism thing, but I'm sure one day you'll meet a man, woman, elephant, tiger, butterfly - whatever you're attracted to - who thinks cannibalism is a turn on. And if you're not attracted to anything, then you still might meet a person like that but you won't be interested in them. I find the whole idea of sexuality really confusing, you know? You look like you do too. Just take a tip from me - assume everyone is attracted to everything unless they say otherwise. *she nods, tapping her nose* That's my secret. It accounts for all sexualities other than... not having one, I suppose. Where was this going again? Sorry, I got distracted revealing my secrets to success.
(Nawww Chloe *cuddles*)
AU!Sil: *blinks, taking a moment to process all that.. those words*
Right. I'm not a teenager. And its not cannibalism if you aren't of the same race.
Ila: Well, you look like a teenager. You smell like a teenager. Then again, I did stop ageing when I was eighteen, so I do too I suppose. I like your thinking about cannibalism. Very clever. But... what race are you, exactly? You look human. And you can't be my race, because you have no tattoos on your cheeks. So if I had to guess... I would say you would have to be a pineapple. Or a frog of some description. They can do something weird with their genders, you know? Or is that toads? Oh well, they're practically the same creature anyway. I'll call them... Froads. Are you a Froad? But how would a Froad look human? Did someone curse you when you were a tadpole? That's the only possibility I can think of as to why you look like that. Wait, that sounds like I'm calling you ugly. Just assume I don't mean it like that.
AU!Sil: I'm not a.. froad. I'm a vampire.
Ila: No way. Me too. I didn't think I'd meet another one here. Are you hiding your tattoos with makeup? *she tries to brush the makeup from Silente's cheeks* *she frowns* Where are they, exactly?
Most vampires I've met would never eat a human. Are you crazy? You don't look crazy, but then again it's always the sane looking ones who are. Except in my case, but oh well.
AU!Sil: you're a vampire? You don't smell like one. Or not like my type anyway.
Ila: How old are you, then? Are you a mutant of some description? A derivative of a vampire? What power do you have?
AU!Sil: I'm one hundred and.. thirteen? Fourteen? I'm not sure. I'm not a mutant!
Ila: I'm nearly four hundred. Hey, I feel old now. I wonder if we can mate. I don't mean us two literally, because making a child with two females would be quite hard, and I have a boyfriend. But I wonder if our species can mate with each other. Unless we're different races entirely, but with the same name. A bit like an opposite Froad.
AU!Sil: I don't know if we can, but I don't particularly want to.
Ila: Neither do I. You're too much of a mutant, and you're a woman. I take it your species doesn't get a power? That's really boring.
AU!Sil: I'm not a mutant! And if you have power depends.
*the sigils on her body flare into life, including the ones on her face which make a mask effect around her eyes*
(I cooked!)
( theory chloe ? :P )
Ila: And now you look exactly like a mutant. Fitting. *she stands up* Do you want the body or are you just going to stand there looking mutated for a little while longer? Wait... You told me not to use all the blood. You're not going to drink it, are you? If you are, I hope you understand that it's revolting. You don't know where they've been. They could have anything in their blood. Take him, for example. *she pats the dead body* I could have injected him with any kind of chemical before he died. And I'm actually very good at making chemicals so it really could be anything. It could do anything at all. This mutation isn't exactly going well for you, is it? I mean, I'm not saying I have put anything in his blood - you'll have to taste it and find out, but your mutation isn't exactly beneficial, is it?
(Hi.
*waves at Chloe, Keiron, Sophia and Jaimie*)
(Hello, Tia.)
(How are you, Sophia?)
(I am alright. Somewhat busy, given that I am writing, but nevertheless. Yourself?)
(I'm fine, thanks.)
(Hmm, it's nearly N7 day.)
(To heck with that, there's only five more days until Fallout 4 is released!)
(Fallout 4? Schmallout Schmall!)
(remember remember the 5th of November :P )
(I am back!))
( ..... kas? )
(Sorry for deleted comment.
Hello, Chloe. How are you?)
(Hello, Keiron. How are you?)
( I am great ... wbu ? :/ I seen the comment btw...
Chloe how did the theory go ? )
(This time round I failed hazard perception -_- )
(*cuddles Chloe*)
AU!Sil: I'm not a mutant. And if you'd rather I'll drink your blood instead. It's hardly a choice.
(*cuddles jai*)
Ila: Really? My blood? Isn't it past your bedtime? Then again, you don't know where I've been either. Or what chemicals I have in my blood. Drink at your own risk, I guess.
(Ah
The advantages of having a small dog : your own hot water bottle)
( sorry to hear... they are quite dear. I got mine first try thank god same with driving)
(I think I focused too much on practising the questions and didn't with the hazard perception)
((I love the fact that my school made us do compulsory RS for GCSE. It was essentially a free qualification. The lessons were so pointless that they actually stopped our RS lessons halfway through Year Eleven because they needed an extra English lesson and our RS lessons were so dispensable, so they basically expected us to unexpectedly not be taught for months and then suddenly do a GCSE on it. And like. I went into that RS exam and I hadn't revised and I just looked at the questions and nattered about a load of random shit for an hour (I'm pretty sure I once went on a tangent and made a Nazi analogy just for the hell of it. I loved the RS exams. It was basically like "now here's a free hour for you to ramble on about random stuff without needing to know any knowledge or needing to have any structure. Have fun!" and you guys know how much I like to ramble on about random stuff (like I'm doing right now ahem)), and I got an A.
Like.
I had to do a ridiculous amount of memorising for science to get my A*, and I had to really struggle with mastering exam technique in ENglish Language and I got a fucking B. In RS I basically put about 5% effort in and got an entire qualification out of it. It was great.
I love unnecessary compulsory subjects.
I have General Studies this year, but General Stuides seems harder than RS :( sad face.
(*higgles seren*)
:) *hugs CHloe*
(How art thou?)
AU!Sil: *raises an eyebrow*
You're a strange person.
(+huggles jai jai*)
@Chloe: :) Good, thanks! :)
We broke Ethan today. XD
How're you? :)
(*Huggles Chloe back* How are you sis?)
(Ethan?
What did you do?!
I'm okay ^.^)
(Good ^-^)
(How art thou jai jai?)
(Kinda tired, long day. You?)
(..are okay, like you said about.)
(In okay ^.^
Ressssst!)
(**above
Caaaaaaan't. On a busssssssss.
I pity my brain. It's all frazzled..)
@CHloe: Cat's boyfriend Ethan. :)
We um
well, we decided to bring in a whole load of snacks today, so Cat brought a big bag of Doritos and a Tear&Share pack of M&Ms, I brought in ridiculous amounts of Skittles (like, a Tear&SHare pack and then three little packs) and Darcie baked some blondies (I thought blondies were white chocolate brownies but Darcie's had no white chocolate in and instead mostly consisted of ridiculous amounts of sugar (500g per batch and she baked two batches although she only brought in one nad a half batches) and ridiculous amount of vanilla essence.
And Ethan um
ate anout half the blondies (he had like six or seven) and about half the Skittles and about half the M&Ms and a fair amount of Doritos and then he had half a lemon muffin and then he drank a whole bottle of Oasis (he actually drank that all in one go without stopping O_O) and a whole can of Appletizer (fizzy apple juice. He didn't drink that all in one go, although he was close) and like
omg
he had SUCH a sugar rush.
He was literally shaking.
I mean, he was sat there shaking. :P
Cat was holding his hand and her whole arm was like vibrating because of his shaking. XD
And then once the sugar rush kicked in he just sort of started doing his drama homework that didn't have to be in until next week O_O O_O which was REEEEALLY weird because normally the hour before he has drama Ethan goes around threatening people in his class until they let him copy off their homework :P
(When I say threatening, I mean he said to Matt "If you don't give me your homework, I will hug you. And by that I mean crush your spine" and Matt said no so Ethan started hugging him and wouldn't get let go of him until he gave him his homework. :P)
And like
omg.
XD and then about an hour later the sugar rush turned into a sugar crash and he was just sort of lying on the desk moaning :( awwwwhh.
(Awwwwww
Early night tonight for you!)
(Hehehehehe xD)
@Chloe: XD Ikr.
(I don't think I've ever had a sugar rush...
I mean... I could drink a tonne of red bull and go right to sleep XD
I've got a very.. Sleepy personality XD )
I don't really get hyper on sugar. My mum actually thinks the whole "sugar makes kids hyperactive" thing is a myth.
(Nothing makes me hyper XD )
(Omli! I found myself in an anime ! )
Sleep deprivation makes me hyper. :P but I often get hyper just coz. XD
Ooh did you???
(K on character yui. XD )
(I never get hyped XD
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_K-On!_characters)
@Chloe: :) :)
(Dont wanna early night..)
(Eeeek! My mum snuck up behind me and screamed
Making me scream and almost faint in fright)
(but you're tired)
@Chloe: OH MY GOD I /hate/ being startled.
Like
seriously
it really, really, really upsets me.
I usually manage to not cry when it happens but I usually get close and then I'm in a bad mood for at least half an hour afterwards.
Last time I got properly startled (Darcie came up behind me, grabbed my shoulders and said "Boo!") was the day after I'd had a panic attack, and as such I was a bit emotionally fragile so I like started hyperventilating and crying and yelling, and Cat put her hand over my mouth to stop me yelling coz we were in a shop and I just bit her hand without thinking about it. -_-
Yes, Jai. Go to sleep. Lack of sleep contributes to negative emotions. If you don't catch up on sleep now, you'll continue feeling tired until you do.
(When I was on the phone to jack, my sister snuck behind me and put her iPad to my ear and played the circle of life at full volume
I had such a fright I almost elbowed her in the face)
@Chloe: :( :(
(When I explained to jack, he told me to tell her well done -_-)
@Chloe: :(
(Meanie Jack!!!
Hmph. Don't need THAT MUCH sleep. My brain is mostly working. It just gives up wirh, you know, thinking thoughs occasionally. I mean it still thinks it just thinks things that aren't right. Like that positive and negative mean even and odd, and that -10 isn't negative.)
(Or calling bubbles balloons.)
@Jai: *facepalm*
No, have sleep. You'll feel better if you have sleep. :)
(Don't you facepalm at me :P
Yeah.. I probably need a bit of fix-the-brain-flops sleep..)
(*grins and face palms *)
(*flicks the Chloe's forehead* Bad Dog Wolf Human!)
(*whines and sits in naughty corner*)
@Jai: Well don't you be facepalm-worthy then. :P
(*nods* And stay there for.. uhhhhhhmmmm... 17 minutes..)
(*whimpers and looks sad*)
(..Don't do that sad puppy noise!)
At least you can get out of your corner. When Lizzie made Cat go sit in a corner adn think about what she'd done, Cat couldn't get up again because of her joint issues so I had to lend her a hand (as in, I held my hand out and she held onto it and attempted to pull herself up).
(*whimpers some more^)
(*huffs* nuh! You were a bad person/wolf/dog! Hush!)
:P "person/wolf/dog"
(*howls*)
(Shhhhhhh! Fine. You can leave the naughty corner.)
:)
Welcome back into the world, Chloe!
(*jumps and leaps into jais arms and licks her face*)
(*is imagining Chloe doing that as a human :P pretty weird image*)
(*yelps, catching the taller girl* Eewwwww. Chloeeeeeeeeee.)
(*yips happily*)
(*scowls slightly* Yucky. Rp?)
(*is also imagining Chloe yipping as a human :P mental images continuing to be weird*)
((That's how I imagine it star XD
There's this dog character in black butler
He is a demon hound but he's normally a naked human who acts like a dog XD
I am fully clothed in this situation though
Okay jai jai ^.^))
