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.

:( 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))
((*hugs sad furry*))
((*huggles dark*))
((I borrowed Armageddon Outta Here from the library. Gonna reread it again. mostly because until 24 hours ago my social life was literally non existent. does this count as a social life?))
((Yes it does ^.^ this is a place full of my closest friends
This is where I met my boyfriend *.^))
(This counts as a social life, yes.)
((yay *throws a 'Social Life Achieved' Party* also *invents 'Social Life Achieved' parties*))
((*huggles dark* well done ^.^))
((General question: which sp book was your favourite?))
(A favourite sp book?
Hmm...)
((Mine was dark days)(
( Death bringer)
((Mine was KOTW))
((*Notices the gaps between conversations* is everyone doing something else at the same time writing here?))
((Awesome ^.^))
(Btw is anyone else just waiting for Clara to poof already?)
((I am watching TV as well ^.^))
Death Bringer -nods-
It kinda tore me apart though.
1st, someone got turned into a statue and someone almost got killed.
2nd, I really liked because of the princess bride reference but meh... can't remember much of this one
3rd, cried at cause someone got sucked through a portal
4th, i can't remember much of.
5th...fuck you derek.
6th: yeah. tore me apart a little but was awesome.
7th: Honestly went right over my head. Hardly remember any of them.
8th. Fuck you derek.
9th: I was good and gorey but i cried at the end, my friend shannon still can't bring herself to let it end.
( jai soon she's not coming back next season )
((Clara?))
(Clara, the doctors assistance.
@K I know, but she hasn't died yet!!! I'm getting impatient.)
((Ah right...))
(( The actress who plays her wanted to leave but capaldi and moffat convinced her to stay for a bit. can't say i blame her))
(I can't blame her either.
But since I know she's gonna die I want her to get it over with)
((wonder who's next.))
(Yeah..)
((wow, that sounded a bit creep))
((*hops up and down shouting 'ow' repeatedly* cramp))
(*yawns*
*turns into a cat and settles on darks head*))
(*smiles* Yeah cramp sucks.
*looks at the Chloe cat*
...
*goes to find my own cat*)
((*strokes Chloe cat*))
((I love cats. They just don't judge. Cats are nice))
((*purrz*))
(I think my cat is in my room.. but I have another cat to cuddle.)
((*Offers cat a piece of Chocolate Orange.*))
((Jai you have two cats?))
((I is off to bed now
Nos da!))
( she might not die jai she might just leave )
(Nos da Chloe.
Pfft. I have three cats. But only one is MY cat.)
(@K mmmm... I think she SHOULD die..)
( night chloe )
((Ah. Right.))
( so do I jai but I don't think they're that dark )
((Also, good night Chloe. If you happen to dream of a sleek black cat with lamplike green eyes then that'll be me, in cat-form, saying hi in your dream.))
((I do that quite a bit))
(I love my cat.. the others are cool too.
@K Amy and Rory died!!! Apprentices die sometimes!!!
Ughhhhh. I just want my parents to come home now. I'm bored and want to go to bed!!!)
( they were the first to be actually dead though, i think :/)
(And if you see a cat who looks confused and has blue eyes and is tabbyish, that'll be me.)
(@K were they? Hmmm..
Still!!!)
(OMG RIVER SHOULD KILL HER BECAUSE OF HOW FLIRTY SHE'S GETTING!!!
*cough* I mean what?)
( sarah jane died in real life but her character was still alive... they just sort of kill them off out of oldness they had their own life kind of thing... even amy and rory got that just to the extreme but the only reason it happened was because they seen it happen therefore making it happen
if you see a fat man in a tux waving a stick and colours coming out then it's either me or a clown)
(matt got mad because this doctor is rivers doctor even though she married him :P hehe in the library she told him he was so young well lookie now :P )
(Mmm..)
( he is! river said to tennant that he wass too young and then she talked about more than one version of him ... she married matt but this is her doctor the doctor she spends he life with )
(NO! THIS IS NOT HER DOCTOR!!!)
*semi-solidifies himself* hello
((Woah! Enough with the swearing. If i felt like listening to people yelling and cursing i'd have stuck my head out of my window (mine is not a bel-air type neighbourhood). Not that I have a problem with swearing, but you should chill a bit, Jai.))
((Hello Fera :D))
(*grumbles*)
well well, dark eyes...nice to see you again ^_^
hello jai, how're you?
(Getting annoying. They said they wouldn't be too long. I want to sleep.)
((Who said?))
(Parents. I'm on brother/house care duty till they SPIDER)
(Sorry. There was a giant spider. It scared me.
I'm on house/brother care until my mum and stepdad return..)
((*Checks room for any giant spiders that might be lurking there* so they leave you alone at your has at nearly 11pm? Cool!!))
(Not cool. I wanna sleep!)
((although if you're tired...))
((yeah.not cool.))
((Is anyone else still here?))
(I am! :( I wanna sleep. Why aren't they home yet -_-)
((Traffic? They had to go back for something? they forgot where they live?))
(They only went to the pub!)
((well if they got drunk, they're more likely to forget where they live. Or leave something behind. Have you tried calling them?))
(Not yet.)
heh, parents do that to me all the time.
((Mine don't. My social life is the only thing I have in common with them. It barely exists.))
......*hugs dark eyes*
((*is hugs Fera back* I have to go now. I hope your parents get back soon, Jai. If either of you see a sleek black cat with lamplike green eyes then its me, in cat-form, saying hi in your dreams. Feel free to stroke. I do that a lot. Bye :D))
bye ^_^
( this is her doctor.)
(Alex Kingston returns to Cardiff to reclaim her role as Professor River Song for the highly anticipated 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special, part of BBC One’s essential seasonal viewing.
It’s Christmas Day in the future and the TARDIS is parked on a snowy village street, covered in icicles, awaiting its next adventure. Time traveller River Song meets her husband’s new incarnation, in the form of Peter Capaldi, for the first time this Christmas.
Day one of filming the eleventh Doctor Who Christmas special starts this week and is written by Lead Writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, produced by Nikki Wilson and directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
River Song made her first Doctor Who appearance in 2008 in ‘Silence in the Library’ and ‘Forest of the Dead’ and has appeared in 15 episodes to date.
Award winning Alex Kingston comments on her reappearance, “To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humour and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday’s read through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September? Why not!”
Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, adds, “Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who - and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song? The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it’s a matter of time...”
The witty line-up of guest cast joining Alex for a magical adventure on the TARDIS will be announced over the coming months.)
Fuck fuck fuck shit fuck
star?!
No I'm not mad I just disagree with censoring words because of their apparentally intrinsically bad value. :P So I decided to sweat a bit.
There is nothing bad about a particular sound or pattern. It is how you use them. I'd rather be friendlily called a bitch than cruelly called an idiot.
yeah, i get you star.
(I swear if they both left their phones or are ignoring me.. you know what, the doors locked, I should be fine going to sleep..)
@Jai: *nods*
Yeah Jai, get some sleep.
(Hey guys, my friend is round so I can't stay for long.

((Sorry, I had to go then. But i'm back :D))
(Anyone here?)
((It's like everyone keeps missing each other.))
((I'm updating my blog and I check if anyone's here every ten minutes or so. Is anyone here now?))
((Oh well. If anyone reads this, I'll check in again in ten minutes. (14:45, GMT+0, UK time)
((Or maybe closer to 20 minutes from now))
(Sorry, the tv and hwk is distracting.)
((The uni was good

((*huggles everyone*))

((Two new people in a few days... This is amazing!))
(*nods* Okay. Sil is fine with other types of vampire.)
((One moment I need to find my charger))
