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.

((*hugs dark eyes*))
((Yay! Bye))
(Bye Bach ^.^)
(come back soon!)
(I had the song 'throne' stuck in my head *frowns*)
(Damn. now i'm stuck with it...oh, well. could be worse)
(I was singing/ shouting it in the car earlier and mum turned out he radio to block me out XD)
(I get that on the bus. I forget I'm listening to my iPod and just start singing. I get some pretty weird looks from the pensioners.)
(Well you know what they say
'Sing as if Noones listening'
Mmmmmmm raspberry cider is lush)
(so long as its not the "Toffee Apple" special kind...yeuch.)
((Don't you like the toffee apple flavour?))
ey
((Hello FERA
How art thou?))
(Too sweet for me. I can get why others like it, but I just find it a wee bit sickly. Do you enjoy it?)
((I get what you mean, it is incredibly sweet
But I like it which is unusual
I don't normally like 'too sweet' things
That's why I dot like many sweets ))
(yo, Fera,hows tricks?)
@chloe: (I mean, I like toffee apples, and I like cider, so why don't I like the combo? I just don't get it...)
~((ive never had a toffee apple))
hello bruadar, chloe how's it goin? :P
Umm, i am ok ^_^
(I am goooooooooooooooooood ^.^)
(to be honest, the hype doesn't really live up to it. you get about a second of toffee and then its just a kind of mushy apple. then your fingers get sticky, and it goes on your jacket, and the stewards get annoyed because you don't want to touch the paper towels with your fingers so you just sort of paw it with you hands.)
@fera (its going grand. aside from a minor toffee apple based breakdown ^.^)
can't really place you...is bruadar the only screen name you use?
is that goooooooooooood, chloe? :p
(i'm good. wby?)
(I have cider and is talking to the best boyfriend ever)
yo k :P
(yo)
sup?
hi
(nm wby ?
yo struan :P )
((*sings miss nothing*))
yo!
@fera (nope, I've just got the one. Don't worry though, we'll muddle through anyhow. ^-^)
wasn't worrying, bruadar :P
umm, i am alright i suppose ^_^
(playing games with his mind Struan ? :P )
(telepath-tidliwinks.)
(tidliwinks is HARD))
(wouldn't be the first time am I right ? :P )
Hi, I can't wait for the new book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
(*hugs Chloe*)
((welcome dr!))
hey pinkdoc :P
(*HUGGLES JAI*))
hello jai.
(@Chloe how's Succy?)
tsch
(succy?))
(Was it Sucki? The female succubus.)
((Suki!))
(Yesh. How's Suki, miss sadist.)
( Suki the Succubus *laughs* )
I f***** my taste buds today, i ate 3 sour candies, that were sourer than toxic waste.
((She's okay))
(Oh joy. Rp?)
((*shakes head* not in the mood))
(okay..)
(Hello. For those who are able to access my blog, I have decided to give it a new look.)
Claire: Sure.
Bethany: Does my hair need cutting...? I... have only had it cut once. Liliana cut my hair for our wedding.
Alexandria: Do you have any second thoughts?
Liliana: None at all.
hello.
I don't think you get split ends?
Onwa: *nods*
*is ready*
what's wrong, chloe?
(....what happened?)
:( some of them are not even bad...and than half of that is entirely not true. Whoever keeps saying those to you, should re-consider what they're saying.
Chloe... None of that is true and you know it
You are good
You are kind
You are sweet
You are caring
You are perfect
chloe should stop saying that to herself. Cuz everyone has flaws, and chloe is portraying herself to be a lot worse than she really is.
I'm sorry....
*leaves*
(* slaps both of you* get a grip ... lol
yes i'm in "wan ey thae moods" )
*sighs*
(Hello again guys. still distant cause GOT)
(My drinking isn't helping
I'm not supposed to be drinking right now
I am drinking without my parents knowledge )
( hey gemmy -hugs- )
drinking never helped.
((What can I say?))
(*hugs Chloe gently..*)
(*is hugged*)
just don't drink a lot.
(*feels somewhat useless*
*keeps hugging*)
((I've inly had two bottles
*hugs jai* thank you for being here
I must also thank everyone else
I must thank jack
He manages to calm me down a hell of a lot
I would feel worse about myself if it wasn't for him))
((Hello!))
((Hello dark eyes *huggles*))
yo
((Anybody feel like existing right now?))
((I have doubts about existing sometimes. Hello Fera, I don't think we've met :D))
(Oh God.. this is petrifying.. when did Doctor Who get so creepy????)
doctor who has always been creepy.
yeah, hello dark eyes :D
((which episode??))
((The weeping angels are creepy, some others can be scary be I don't think it's that bad))
(Ghosts on the underground base.)
i meant, the character itself...get in my telephone booth ( ͡° ͜Ê– ͡°) :p
(Oh right. That one wasn't so bad. the worst ones are when you get used to something through the episode, not noticing that something is very wrong... Or the ones that make you jump. I think Steven Moffat isn't a great writer.))
((The weeping angels was on around the time when I suffered from night terrors
I didn't sleep properly for weeks after that
I haven't watched dr who since?(
(This one DID make me jump.
Amy and Rory's last one... that was so sad.. :( )
(The weeping angel terrified my too xD Every time.)
((Oh, and dark eyes, it's chloe here))
((The worst one was the one with the crash of the Byzantium, and that maze full of ancient statues. The aliens that were supposed to have lived there had two heads, but the doctor realised that the statues only had ... they were all weeping angels... what was that one called?))
heh, i don't think doctor who is creepy in any context, but one. The doctor himself :P
((Two accounts?))
((also, matter of opinion. and nerve.))
(I don't know but I remember that one. It was horrible!!! And she thought she was becoming a weeping angel..)
((No, I changed my name and picture
Same account
You can change your details at anytime))
((Nice. Sad furry?))
((Also, i can't believe that there is no sonic screwdriver anymore. :'( ))
Maze of the Dead was the episode me thinks. :D :D Hi btw
Also
"when did Doctor Who get so creepy?"
Replace the first e with an a and the second e with a p and then you have the question I'm asking XD
Because
Like
The writing of it
Has just gone to shit XD
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday was my favourite Doctor Who episode(s). :D
The decision to get rid of the sonic screwdriver was STUPID. STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID.
Like
Sonic glasses
Really???
That was just
Well
It went along with the quality of the writing quite well :D
((Steven moffat is a pretty crappy writer.
1. gets rid of sonic scredriver
2. doctor rengenerates INTO AN OLD GUY?!?!
3.general rubbishness and boring episodes
all except 3 are valid reasons.))
(Well.. at least the sunglasses just got snapped.)
I don't actually have a problem with the new Doctor at all like in terms of acting or ideas it's just the horrible episodes XD
I mean the episode quality DID take a hit when Matt Smith joined.
I've come to realise that I blame America for all the problems with Doctor Who XD
(( Yay. At least the TARDIS is still bigger on the inside. There'd be a riot if that changed.))
Superman it was like the best moment of the recent Doctor Who episodes XD
((I was down
And I am a furry))
(Ewwwwwwwwww.. he just DRUNK testosterone that he harvested from Vikings.)
(( are you still down? would a hug help?))
((I am getting better
But I always accept hugs))
