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.

I can't fall back asheep!
I've been trying for an hour!

*hugs Fabigail tightly*
I'm sorry.. :(
(*hugs Fabilous tightly and hugs dug too*)
(Hi! Hear hear!)
(Text/email me if you want to talk, guys.)
Feeling better. Actually keeping food down for once.
((Well hello there, all who exist and perhaps those who don't (they always get left out for some reason.) I doubt anyone is actually here but.. meh. Feliz navidad, joyeux noel, wesolych swiat, and just in case you don't speak Spanish, French or Polish, merry christmas. If yuo don't speak English either, well, i'm sorry but there's little I can do. Latin, perhaps?))
((oh, I missed nadolig llawen, I think I got that right. Welsh, i hope. still.....*sighs heavily*))
((I'll probably just keep posting comments in the vain hope someone will answer, other than myself. Hear that, self? You should shut up.))
((I'm often rude to myself, but self doesn't mind. I would know, right? *que fake laughing audience* oh, I'm hilarious.))
(ARGH WHY DO CUTE SONGS THAT I LIKE ALWAYS END SAD ;-;)
((At this point, even if someone was reading my comments, they'd probably be too scared/smart to answer. I probably sound insane. I don't think I am, but I'm just so amazingly tragic at that elusively difficult art some wiser folk would know as 'conversation'. An abstract concept, if ever there was one.))
((SIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))
(*HUGS DARK EYES DAMMIT!!!*)
((*hugs back* finally, I think the lonerness was about to actually drive me mad.))
(*pats head* You'll be okay. Insanity is the norm here. Don't be ordinary, be carzy!)
((*is unnerved by silence* umm.... sil?))
((Oh right just laptop slowness))
(Calm down silly.)
((*basks in insanity*))
(There's a good girl! Embrace your inner lunatic, fun times guaranteed!)
((Sometimes I actually believe that this laptop holds a grudge against me. I did drop it a few times to be fair, but I only see other comments after I write one of my own.))
(You dropped it? Ouch xD Poor laptop. Have you had a good Christmas?)
((maybe every time I just write a comment to see other comments I'll do that cool hat thingy. /\. That one. Sounds... smart. How unusual of me.)) Also, /\
(You mean ^^)
((My christmas was okay apart from the general boringyness. As usual, it was fun to watch my respectable relatives grow more and more drunk and say more and more inappropriate, brutally honest things.))
((Potato, po-tah-to with the hat thing. /\,^ but yeah I'll use ^, it's a good idea. Also, ^))
(It can be amusing to watch elders get drunk. I don't really like drunk people though..)
(Okay xD)
((Soo... how was your own merry little xmas?))
((^ and one moment, I have an eyelash in my eye.))
(I had a good day :) I've spoken to friends, spoken to family, got a laptop (yusssssssssssss) and have had a good day all together :) )
(Okay xD You go remove it.)
((^))
((I hate it when that happens but I have longish eyelashes so it happens more often than I'd like. I have to get used to eyeball-touching, because I'M GETTING CONTACT LENSES YAAAY))
((I can go without the geeky glasses that are actually a good disguise for my general attractiveness. When I take off my glasses, people say I look nicer, but that gets annoying so I tell them that they look nicer when I'm not wearing my glasses, too. So proud of that insult. Also, ^, and I'm sorry if i missed something you said, because, well, ^))
((I meant unattractiveness, curse you, correct-programme-thingy))
((Umm..sil?))
(At least you have nice lashes?
That's such a mean insult xD People are trying to be nice!)
((...))
(Sorry, I was brushing my teeth.)
((Oh hi again, and yes it is I suppose but...*sighs* i'm really sensitive to comments about my appearance, even if they're nice because I'm not good at knowing when they're just mocking me/ using sarcasm))
((^))
((Out of curiosity, which song do you find cute that ends sadly?))
((^))
((*Hums Idly*))
((*twiddles thumbs*))
((*whistles 'Little do you know'*))
((*takes a stroll*))
((*begins to run out of things to do to pass the time*))
(*hugs gently* I'm sure you're beautiful and have very little to no reason to be self conscious :) Which isn't meant maliciously.
I wasn't expecting that.
Tea and Toast.)
((Excuse me for a sec))
(Oh.. okay?)
((*is back*))
((Which time zone are you in, sil?))
((^))
(GMT *points at the time it says on the comments*)
((do do do dah do duh.. yaargh my headphones aren't plugged in))
((Oh, hi fera. I thought that I was the only one crazy enough to be chatting at this hour, hence the time zone question. Also, my headphones are actually broken so I'm doomed to listening to Nightwish very quietly. It's rubbish.)) ^
((Hmm.. I could go downstairs and look for my spare headphones but at this hour I risk being scarred for life))
hello there, how are you?
(((Don't you just hate it when the snickers advert comes on between your favourite metal songs...))
(((Anyways, Mesa is very good, thanking you very much for asking(gotta love jar jar binks) and you?))
((^))
((^^))
((Anyone there.......*hears echo*))
I am alright i suppose ^_^ How was Christmas? :P
((Due to the lack of anyone there, I will go update my blog now))
((And then someone comes on. typical. yay, though))
((My Christmas was okay apart from the general boringyness. As usual, it was fun to watch my respectable relatives grow more and more drunk and say more and more inappropriate, brutally honest things.))
((Are you still here, sil? Fera?))
heh, i know what you mean. I do remember you now! I talked to you before ^_^
((You did, and it would seem you talk to a lot more people than I do, because I recognised you instantly. Good for you :) ))
We had lots of wine xD
Oh I got a figure of the 11th doctor
((Hello,.. Zafira... I think. Whichever title/name you prefer. And 11th doctor is cool but nothing beats 10th))
Sorry, it's been a while since i've been here, and plus I am quite tired ^_^
10. Seasons. Of. Supernatural.
Oh good god Zaffy has a lot to watch.
Nice Zaf!! I got the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D!!!
And I've been recording the 3rd so then once I finish it I will be caught up!!
Also, I got tropical fruits and one of them was guava and apparently it "helps get rid of mucus and clear respiratory tract and lungs" and I have a cold and OMLI IT ACTUALLY HELPED!
I also got a dragon fruit and 2 star fruits!
Oh good Duggy if you kill Grant I won't blame you
With pleasure! 😇
(I've only watched to episode 6 soooooooooooo....)
Oh he annoys me but hey season 3 is good so get to it and enjoy all except one episode I loved
Coolio!!! (It wants to autocorrect to Collison?)
Though I have another tv show I'm trying to catch up on and I want to read at least 5 more books this year.
I was trying to read 100 in 2015 but I'm only at 85. :/
I gave up on reading that much.
And now I have Netflix and so I was watching Supernatural but geez 10 seasons is a lot
(Does anyone know a website that I can watch ouat season 2-5 on? Couchtuner deleted all their copies according to my computer.)
(I got so pissed last night
But it was funny
Each year my family members all but silly gifts and we do a raffle
My great aunt won my gift... Karma sutra cards XD )
Meow
ABC.com
I think Sil
I don't like Once so I decided even with Netflix to not watch
(woof)
Jai it's couchtuner.city now. It still works.
(
Got nothing for Christmas.
;n;
)
Sigh. 4 episodes in.
Supernatural is sooo good!
(Hey, Zaffy! Really? What do you like about it? Would you recommend watching it? I started watching Jessica Jones two days ago, it's okay but not really that exciting :/)
I love supernatural too!! I've seen it all before but I got the first two seasons for my Christmas so I'm watching it from the beginning and it's soooo good!!! Hope you enjoy the rest of it!!!
I recomend it because it's very....different. The storyline of hunting demons is the same but each episode is totally different. It keeps you wanting more, we're talking I'm halfway through the 6th episode and have been goong since 7
(Just got back from seeing Star Wars and by god I'm so hyped right now it was amazing I'm STILL grinning from ear to ear what do I do with all this energy!?)
(*grins* Star Wars is amazing! Guess who's little brother has a bb8 that is controlled using a phone?)
*is jealous* XD
(Morning guys :)
(David Tennant's character in Jessica Jones is just sick. Though he's so devious that it's interesting watching how it'll turn out for Jessica.
Though I'd kill him just to be safe...
Though Marvel universe kinda doesn't match up, I mean, why not call in Iron Man or something??? He's got like hundreds of spare robots, right? And Kilgrave can't mind control a robot.)
(I haven't watched it yet Kassy.
I'm really bored...:-/)
(Omg i didn't know you could make snowmen on animal crossing! Mine looks really weird though cause it's head is bigger than it's body...)
I love making snowmen!! I'm pretty sure last time mine was angry cause it's head was bigger than its body haha
( well I'm off to currys going to basically beg for a new laptop as I need to get all my software back on it for less than a week away basically so yeh kinda fucked if its one of those we'll get it back to you in a week, like naw I need it software ready in a week )
(well going back tomoz with the power brick and ill be getting a new one within the week :D )
(Yeah Kristen mine is annoyed at me too! It looks really creepy...
And i'm glad you'll get your laptop back baby. Mine is still sitting in my room doing nothing.)
(*stomach growls*)
*nose keeps running and doesn't seem to be stopping*
I hate watching Supernatural from the beginning cause Castiel isn't in it till like season 5 and I love Cas!!!!!
You can watch in two weeks
I wanna just skip to Castiel honestly
No!!!! Don't, the run up to him is so good and he's worth the wait. I'm watching episode 7 (I think) just now with the mental asylum and I can't wait for CAS!!!!
(Omg the last episode of Season 3 Orange is the new black, is amazing. Holy shit.)
I'm on episode 7 season 1....
Hello all!
What are your favourite songs that remind you of Demon Road or Skulduggery Pleasant?
I love Monsters by Ruelle, Superpower by X Ambassadors, Ticking Bomb by Aloe Blacc, Everything Is Lost by Maggie Eckford, Rivolta Silenziosa by HUMANWINE (sums up the gory bits of Skulduggery in one song), Up in Flames by Ruelle, and Bones by MS MR.
OH MY GOD THAT WAS..
SUPERNATURAL STUFF COMING FROM SEASON 1
OH MY GOD THE FIREY SPIRT DEMON WAS THEIR MOM AND SHE....OMG I'M CRYING
AND FREAKIN MISOURI HAVING JOHN WINCHESTER AND SAM HAS SOME POWER?
*spazzes*
*freaks*
*goes into self destruct mode*
*Zaffy go boom*
(*Collects the ashes and scattered bits of Zaffy and puts them in a jar*)
(Grrrrr parents...)
Smith: *looks over the records* no.. it it can't be
T: hmmm?
Smith: they... They did it
T: did what?
Smith: *doesn't speaks*
T: *raises her voice* speak!
Smith: they saved the world... After all that time, they did it...
T: you mean?...
Smith: yes *grins* they did it!
*t and Smith grin and order new drinks to celebrate*
And so my rp ends finishing the story of my characters
(*eatches a program on hedgehogs*

WTF?! HOW DO THEY NOT PRICK EACHOTHER)
Ooh hedgehogs
(Cuties)
(*facepalms and laughs* Chloe!)
(What?!)
(Hello?)
Sup
I'm on the last episode of season 1 of Supernatural :D
It's Harry Potter Weekend (aka last day when Deathly Hallows Part 2 is on) so I took a break for Deathly Hallows :D
Made it to episode 7 before I was so exhausted I couldn't pay attention.
Gotta love Harry Potter :)
I've not been feeling well so I've been sitting watching it like all day haha
(just passed the page you must hate crunchy yet soft zaf)
I what? *confused*
You don't make a very satisfying snack.
No I don't think I would
Screwed up
Heals one kills the other.....
Oh my god that was sick! But sooo good
(So one of the cats has gone missing, the one who hates the outdoors.
My art homework is no where near finished and I only have a week left to draw a life sized person.
Few of my friends are talking to me, and when they do I'm almost always hostile towards them.
I'm not sleeping well either, I keep having bad dreams and restless nights.)
Jai, unfortunatly this is what being a teenager is.
-hugs tightly-
You can do it sid.
you might want to try staying off the computer or electronics late at night. It overstimulates the brain, and makes it harder to sleep. Down tools at 8, and try to relax.
(*waves to anyone*)
The thing to remember about life-sized portraits is that if you're a millimeter off, its considerably less of a big deal than it would be if your portrait was, say, ten centimeters tall.
Do you have any specific materials you have to use? 'Cause it took me about a week to get the boards for the background set up for my life-sized self-portrait last winter. I also had to use at least three different materials. I had much more time though.
