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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4780 Newer› Newest»:) Hello, Dark Eyes.
@Jai: :P Tempted to watch it now so I can tell you my opinion.
great weather we're havinggggg, irghT?
MrBBWolf: *knocks quietly on Suki's door*
S-Suki..?
Tresha: *the house is finished now, she's leaned against a tree beside the house, day dreaming*
Suki; *opens the door and smiles * hello wolf *a small bump has formed*
Alice: *is in human form*
+her ankle is better*
*is inside making cookies*
((*has nothing to say* potato))
MrBBWolf: H-Hello Suk-ki.. How a-are you..?
Tresha: *smiles to herself, humming happily*
(Have you heard of dan and phil dark?))
nothing to say? nothing to say is good. Nothing is good.
Suki: I'm doing fine thank you.. Are you okay? You don't look well...
Alice; *calls out* tresh! Cookies!
((I've heard of them. They're Youtubers or something like that I think. And nothing has saved life. Nothing is very good.
yes. yes it is. i love it to bits. so good.
((*glares at fera* on the contrary it's good when people can speak their mind
Although they don't have to say every little thing on the mind it's nice if someone could speak ))
((I'm seeing them on your tomorrow!))
MrBBWolf: I-I.. I'm okay..
Tresha: Cookies?
*looks at the door*
*shouts back*
You haven't put hamster poo in them like you did that time I told on you have you?
((it is. That's basically why I come here. No one else listens.))
hhhhhhohoohohohohoahaha, what do you know, interesting things happen all the time.
Suki: sure?
Alice: *rolls eyes* no! No I haven't!
((*huggles darj* my email is always open if you need to chat
*frowns at fera* one of those moods again?)))
it hasn't faded. in a long time. I just chose to show it more when i feel like it.
((*is hugged by inky* um... i can't actually see your profile, inky, so... um... I don't have your email.))
(WTACTUALH??? John was ALIVE. He SAVED her and HELPED and she's ran off with some OTHER GUY??? WTH?!?!?! NO!!!)
MrBBWolf: I-I'm sure.. h-have you been g-getting hungry?
Tresha: *gets up and enters the house*
Promise?
((*frowns* but my profile is open... There should be the word email in blue?
Must you show it now FERA?))
(I've decided that Pocahontas 2 doesn't exist.)
Suki: *blushes and looks away* a bit
Alice: swear on me life
Awwwwh . . .
*hugs Dark*
Well, as a person who will happily natter about anything on their mind because the majority of the world seems interesting to them, I'm always happy to hear people talk if they want to talk. :)
@Jai: Ahem may be going to watch that movie now
no. but hey hehhe. *hugs dark eyes*
((Good decision jai XD))
MrBBWolf: A bit-t?
Tresha: Good.
*takes a cookie, nibbling it*
((Can't you take anything seriously FERA ?)?
Suki: well... What am I to do?
Alice: *eats a biscuit within a few bites*
MrBBWolf: I-I already t-told you that if you're h-hungry I'll t-try help..
Tresha: slow down Alice. Savour your food!
Suki: look, wolf... I'm already putting you through this.. I can't torment you more
Alice: I can always make more!
dunno. yours to decide for yourself. *spreads arms wide*
((*gladly accepts all hugs* I think I can get your email inky, I clicked on the word 'email' because it was in blue, and it asked me where I wanted to open it, or something like that. So no I'm reconfiguring outlook and adding my current email account, so... May take a while.)
(*rolls*))
MrBBWolf: I-if you don't feed b-both of you will d-die..
Tresha: if you eat them all then I won't get many!
((OK done))
Well my email is starinkbright@gmail.com :P
oh well well. you can talk to me as well. if you want. though maybe now is not the best time. hehe
Suki; but....
(Okay ^^))
((Did you know that cows that were away from other certain cows from their herds showed signs of anxiety? Do you know what that means? It means that cows have best friends. If this sounds weird, let me clarify that cows are my favourite animal. Closely followed by cats. Also, I have to go for lunch now. Bye :) ))
((*whispers to dark* FERA is in one of his moods))
MrBBWolf: Suk-ki.
Tresha: *eats her cookie, smiling absently, day dreaming about him again*
Alice; *shrugs*
((I knew that dark ^.^ it's fascinating!
And Byii *.^))
OH MY GOSH THAT DUDE ID RIDICILOUSLY BRITISH
You know, before I met Bela in Supernatural Lizzie was like "I love Bela. She's BRITISH!" and I was like "dude. we're british." But then I met Bela and she was RIDICULOUSLY British. Like, she had this really strong Southern English accent. :P
(We have Northern British accents.)
And DEAR LORD THIS DUDE I JUST MET IN POCAHONTAS TWO IS /RIDICULOUSLY/ BRITISH
LIKE
/RIDICULOUSLY/
OH DEAR LORD
(*nods at star*)
Suki: what?
Alce: what's on your mind?
Oh dear I do not like this ridiculously British dude.
Not beacuse he's ridiculously British, thoguh, just for the record. I have nothing against British people. I am British. All my favourite real-life people are British. :P
MrBBWolf: you need to feed..
Tresha: Nothing important..
Suki: okay... But not right now... You need to process this first...
Alice: tresh... I know when you're lying
MrBBWolf: ok-kay..
Tresha: I am not lying!!!
*watchign roleplay*
Suki: *hugs* you better find Chris
Alice; suuuure
Ugh I hate this ridiculously British dude.
((Hehehe XD))
well well it appears i've got to open some door for someone. it appears so. i might be back soon. hehe
OH SHUT UP
sorry might be ranting about this film for a bit. this guy pisses me off. when I get pissed off I either get violent or rant/swear a lot and the latter is usually easier when I have a computer to hand.
(*hugs star*))
:) *hugs CHloe*
((What's your opinion on dragons?))
((Hello))
@Chloe: Huh?
:) Hi Dark Eyes.
MrBBWolf: Y-yeah..
Tresha: it's true!
Oh fuck off.
I don't like the king either. -_-
((Erm... Star...))
((Hello again dark ^.^))
@Dark Eyes: Yo. :)
@Dark Eyes: Oh yeah, watchign Pocahontas 2. :)
Suki: I think he's downstairs with Lilith
Alice: sure *smirks*
((Well I'm re writing my first attempt of a story
There are dragons))
@Chloe: :) Dragons are cool.
@Jai: :( I see what you mean now.
:(
((Hello *hugs everyone* I haven't watched Pocahontas or heard of Pocahontas 2, so... dunno. It's supposedly a slightly.. racist film.))
@Dark Eyes: How so?
I haven't seen Pocahontas 1, but I'm currently watchign the second one because Jai was and she said it was horrible.
(*munches on cookie*))
it would appear, that i am back.
((My friend (the only one I have that I've met) said that it was a bit... stereotypical, maybe, that a native American girl, as the main character, is obviously going to be unhappy about getting married to a Native American man, and she wants something more, which is obviously going to be a white guy. My friend said that it sort of made it sound as if the white guy is better than the NA guy. I can't really say, having never watched it.))
Okay, should I
a) read sp
or
b) re-watch Doctor Who?
(*nods at star*)
MrBBWolf: *smiles*
Okay..
Tresha: I'm just.. thinking..
read, kirsten.
at least, that's what i'd do *smirks*
((Looks can be deceiving, Fera. You could be imagining that you're back, and i'm also imagining that you're back, and everyone who sees this comment is also only imagining it. Stranger things have happened.))
@Dark Eyes: Dude. It's pre-2000s Disney. You're expecting it NOT to be stereotypical? :P
(Have you ever considered
c) Doing both?)
((Disney can sometimes be... Hmm... Not racist...
How do I word it?
The only princess franchise they use to sell was the typical white 'perfect' princesses
But they have jasmine and Tiana there now, so it isn't as bad... But Mulan and Pocahontas isn't there...
Pocahontas was an actual story years ago... Originally she went to London and died from cholera))
((@star, yeah, I know. I'm just pointing out that it is, even if that in itself is stating the obvious.))
((Hey John !))
(I'd say read?)
@Chloe: *nods*
Yeah.
@Dark Eyes: :) Yeah.
Well, like I said, I haven't seen the first one, so I can't really talk about it.
MrBBWolf: *smiles*
Okay..
Tresha: I'm just.. thinking..
true black, strange things do happen, all the time.
Actually, I've decided to go with hidden option d, which is to watch Sherlock
I just saw a post on Quiz Up which really put me in the mood for it
Chris: *is playing house with Lilith *
Alice: of...?
((Aanyway, has anyone here watched lotr?))
((Okay kirst *offers people hugs* ))
((I LOVe LOTR! LEGOLAS! *fangirlz*))
@Dark Eyes: I have.
All three films and then the Hobbit.
Me and my firneds have given each other LOTR nicknames as well.
Except like, none of us LIKE LOTR, but y'know. :P
((*Gratefully accepts hug*))
((*huggles dark*
Me thinks me be a dwarf
I would be an elf but I'm too short *cries*))
My friends have decided I'm Aragorn.
*hugs dark eyes as well* umm, i think my head is clearing out a bit. Here's my e-mail, i am available to talk to now: feraaaa32@citromail.hu

MrBBWolf: *rushes downstairs, smiling at him* hey.
Tresha: *mumbles*

((Can Elves be short?))
Chris: hey *looks embarrassed that he's wearing a maids outfit* um...
Alice: *squawks* I knew it!!
@Chloe: IDk. Ask someone knowledgeable. :P
MrBBWolf: *grins, taking his hands and pulling him close*
Mmmm.. Hello Mr maid.
Tresha: Shut up!!!
(Jai, can elves be short?))
Lil: *giggles* daddy! Look! Chris is pretty!
Chris; *is pulled close* look what she made me do...
Alice : *giggles*
((Yes. Jai is One Who Knows. :)))
(I think so?)
MrBBWolf: Good girl Lilith. You should make him dress up more often.
*grins broadly*
Tresha: *sulks*
((Yay! I'm a short elf!))
Lil: *giggles* okay daddy!
Chris: *glares at wolf*
Alice: awwww I'm sowwy...
@Chloe: :P
MrBBWolf: *grins, kissing him gently*
Mm.. I definitely like it.
Tresha: *mutters*
Not like it matters.
Alice: why not?
Chris: *kisses-8 you do?
Lilith: ewwwwy!
Tresha: he's hardly interested, is he?
MrBBWolf: *laughs, running over and scooping Lilith up, tossing her gently into the air and catching her*
Alice: he just needs to open up!
Lilith : *squeals excitedly* daddy!
heh, if you're a short elf...then I am a short... Alû *nods*
Tresha: Pfft, sure.
MrBBWolf: Hello p-princess.
*kisses her forehead*

Alice: he seems to be... Not a part of this world
Lilith: I love you daddy

Tresha: he's a fallen angel..
MrBBWolf: I love you too Lily
Alice : right.... He's not used to this placd
Chris: *smiles*

((*worried by silence* hello??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????))
((Oh, yay, first comment on this page.))
Alice: maybe *grins*
Lilith *flies arounf the room and laughs*
umm, i think there might be a connection problem with your internet, darky. People are commenting.
@Fera: She's not expecting us to be distant, I don't think.

warning: this video is crude and only for those with a sick sense of humour
I just love how calm 'sharon', or should I say kagome is in this video XD))
?
Tresha: I could go see..
MrBBWolf: Well done baby!
((Yay))
Alice: ill join you!
Lilith *giggles and lands on his head*
talk to me, dark eyes. I can most probably understand you better than you'd think.
Tresha: Okay.. but only because you made the cookies.
MrBBWolf: *smiles, tickling hee feet*
That's my girl.. where's your mummy hmm?
Alice: yay!
Lilith: with ben and Tegan outside *giggles*
Tresha: *rolls her eyes, grabbing some spare cookies and putting them in a brown bag*
Okay.. lets go find him.
MrBBWolf: has she been spending time with you?
Alice: okay
flauros: *is by lake*
Lilith: *nods* mummy is awesome! awooo!
Tresha: *walks out, looking around*
MrBBWolf: Good. *smiles*
you here, star?
Flauros: *spots the girls and grunts*
chris: inky has been supervising lil on her flying lessons
@Fera: Ish. :P
ahh k :P
( some people just want to watch the world burn, whilst others want to hold the match)
(some of us like to make a nice little sideline in selling petrol, matches and fire-extinguishers.)
( the first two sound fun, third is just a bummer )
but still profitable. Some want burn things, others want to protect themselves, and a few just want to exploit both.
( I suppose
"it's not paranoia if it's real")
((drawing fanart is so hard))
'elo k :P
Tresha: *sees him and waves, smiling*
Hey Flauros!
MrBBWolf: Good..
(Hello.
Can't believe it's only 5-_-
So, does anyone here donate blood? (If you're in UK.))
(I don't. It creeps me out..)
(@Jai *nods* What does? Blood? Or needles?
*hugs her warmly*)
I will be donating, after i hit 18.
(Needles. I'm fine with blood. Don't like needles.. *hugs warmly back*)
Flauros: *grunts* ey
((wbd
fanarting and such))
i don't particularly like needles, but they don't creep me out or anything.
(*nods at Jai*
Hey, Fera and Chloe.)
Tresha: How are you?
MrBBWolf: *tickles Lilith*
hey kas.
I'm seventeen. I think you have to be eighteen to donate blood. :P
(@Star Hey. I see.)
Anyone else find it ironic that to be truly tolerent you have to tolerate intolerence?
heh, yup. I am almost 18.
Haha I was just like "How is Fera almost eighteen when that's only a year older than me and he's already done a year of a level . . . ?" before I remembered that I'm not in year eleven. *facepalm*
Hey Saoirse. :)
(Hey saoirse.)
well... "done" would not be the correct term, more like "failed one A level" but yeah :P
hey sav.
(How are you saoirse?)
@Fera: I'd still say you did a year. Idk, depends on how you phrase things.
I bought a Supernatural poster yesterday and put it on my wall and it keeps catching my eye and it is /beautiful/.
I'm not sure what they did to Sam, though. *frowns* He looks really . . . not-Sam-like.
how're you sav?
(I'm okay :)
i am splendid. wanna continue rp?
umm...oh yeah
Fera: what are you thanking me for?
Fera: oh...you're welcome. *takes a big breath while laying on his bed sheets*
(Hey! :)
Watching Castle! :)
Fera: hehe, umm...thanks but I'd rather just stay here.
Fera: *feels cold-hearted now* *tries to ignore it* so...goodnight?
Fera: ....by the time you wake up...probably *nods*
Fera: ...umm...i know a job...i am actually looking for an assistant at my work place...so...if you want to *throws name tag to her* those are my contacts.
Fera: ...observer. I believe that's what humans call a "scientist"
Fera: *facepalms* If i am as powerful as you believe me to be...and my intentions are ones you're accusing me with...do you think i wouldn't have already done it?
ok ^_^
(*bored*)
Fera: *slowly gets up and casually opens bathroom door even though it's locked* ...the fuck are you doing?
((Hello, Celia :) ))
((And everyone, generally))
(*rolls around, generally glaring at nothing*)
(Hi! *waves at Fera, Seirsha, Jai, and Dark Eyes*
Jai? Are you okay?)
