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.

( 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.
everything's fine.
(-having a rave with keiron-
"1 more song...ok now one more..."

Goodnight guys, this really is the last one.)
(*can hear mum laughing hysterically upstairs*
*too scared to ask^))
(Hi!

(Where is everyone?)
( I can't speak for everyone else but I know that I am in Scotland :P ehehe )
(Too funny, Keiron.

( i'm great wbu ? )
(I'm okay. Bored and lonely, though.)
((Hello))

(Hey, Dark Eyes.
*is cold and wet and freezing*
How are you?)
((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
Didn't like the area though))
((My laptop was kidnapped and held hostage. I was able to get it back by paying the ransom, but it was a very heavy ransom. I had to do the dishes :D))
((Hello sad furry!))
( Hello everyone again :P i am back ... and I got sooo wet earlier and the post office was closed... )
((*huggles everyone*))
((Hugs back))
(*pops up the moment a vampire appears*)
(Hello ivy! You new ?))
((Ivy? You there?))
(Sorry, I spilled my drink all over my cat. She wasn't pleased.)
(*hums, studying the vampire*)
((I'll bet she wasn't. What's your cat's name?))
*tacklehugs Silente*
(Hi!)
( *huggles chloe*

((Nice to meet you ivy *offers hand* I am inky, or chloe ^.^))
(Hello Chloe:))
(*cuddles Kassy*
@K Mmmm.)
(Hello Ivy. Vampire hmm? Sp vampire or DR vampire or another variety of vampire?)
((How art thou, ivy? Do you rp? ))
((Other. I don't shed my skin at night.))
(@Jai Tanya is happy to meet more vampires!
*but also cuddles back*)
((That's a relief. I'd hate to be hunted down and killed at night.))
(Hey, Ivy!)
((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))
(I don't rp, but I write in brackets as a habit.)
((back))
((Okay ^.^
We rp as well as chat here so if you ever want to start, you're more than welcome ^.^))
((Who else is new?))
((I also have never rp'ed but that's because, well, I don't know much about it.))
((Erm.. weird stuff happening to my laptop...))
(*tilts head at dark eyes*)
((Why can't I see anyone else's comments? This is really strange.))
((Okay, I say silente's))
((Dark eyes is new
I've been here almost four years))
((Dark eyes?))
((Yep ^.^))
((Yep. I'm a newbie. Also, what, Ivy?))
(@Dark eyes oh don't worry xD we're just on a new page?)
(@Jai Is Silente okay with Tanya's particular type of vampire?)
(@dark eyes I was wondering about your choice of username)
(@K She generally doesn't like other Vampires, but she has the biggest problem with sp vampires. She gets territorial.. It's amusing.)
((Think of it as choosing a taken name from sp. Not too cool, but fitting. My eyes aren't that dark, but they say the eyes are a window to the soul.))
((+howls*))
((I have no desire to fight over territory. Let's decide on a truce.))
((What's wrong Chloe?))
(Anybody watching Doctor Who tonight?)
((I am.))
((I'm a werewolf))
(Sure, truce.
@Kas what time is it on?)
((A werewolf and a vampire. Apparently this is Twilight v2))
((I've always wanted to be a vampire. Would you bite me, Ivy?))
((Are you sure you would want this life?))
((What's wrong with becoming a werewolf?))
(*raises an eyebrow*
*laughs quietly because sil is getting testy*)
(@Chloe a) inky isn't the bite type of werewolf b) vampires are stronger and immortal.)
((@Inky Nothing, but my life has been full of vampire fantasies. They seem more... romantic. And Ivy, I don't know. Could you describe your vampire life so I could decide?))
Ed: Ahem, inky is very romantic *nods*
Oh, Laura you know would kick his ass. She's always been like that ^.^
You two should swing by Cincinnati! And go to King's Island- so awesome!
((Erm... Sure. I have immense strength, I can see in the dark, I don't age, am immortal and I found an alternative to human blood do I wouldn't have to be a murderer.))
(Oh, god, I'm sure tonight's episode will suck.)
(Hey Noelle! :)
Thank you honey *hugs ed*
((Jack!))
((Hello noelle!))
((Hello people I haven't met. @Ivy you're life sounds amazing. Bite me. PLEASE!!!!))
(@Chloe rp? :)
((Plus, you know, I've known Laura for years and STILL have yet to meet her in real life))
(Goddamn))
(I had a dream about Batman last night. It was nice.))
(Hello, Noelle.)
(@Noelle batman? Cool! What happened?)
((Okay jai *,^ which characters?))
((Fine, dark eyes. I'll hunt you down tonight and bite you. Don't worry, the bite marks fade unless another vampire is close to you.))
((Yay.))
(@Chloe wolf, Chris, Suki
AU!Sil, Inky?)
((Can i rp too? First rp. Should I think of an oc?))
((I can't...
Um

((If it's ok, I would like to do a little rping...))(I had an idea)

((Okay ^.^))
Sil! Come back! *runs after her*
Chris: I can't wait to marry you

(You sure ivy? Feel free to join at any time :) How are you btw?)
Rosalie: *falls out of nearby tree* has anyone seen a tall girl with black hair running past?
((Who's Chris?))
((Well, let's say that if anyone wants to join in, they are welcome))
..
*About a mile from Adra's lab, far into the thick woods, where running in any direction will he a tree*
AU!Sil: *hisses down at her, glaring slightly*
MrBBWolf: I-I'm not..
