Right, well, SOMEBODY at Harper Collins messed up, and I am NOT a happy writer. But, for those of you who may have heard, yes, it is true, you are getting a Tanith Low novella coming you way early in 2013 so, um...
SURPRISE!
Grrrrr.
And before you get carried away with what it might be about or who might be in it, the synopsis provided was an early one, before I'd actually started the damn thing. Biggest change? Ghastly ain't in it. Probably.
So what IS it about, you ask?
It's about God-Killer weapons. Four of them, scattered around the world. Four weapons that could hurt- even kill- Darquesse whenever she arrives. Tanith, being thoroughly devoted to dear Darquesse, does not want these weapons falling into enemy hands. So she recruits a gang of misfits and villains and off she goes to snatch them before the good guys come calling.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stomp away and find someone to beat up...
EDIT
Also, to all my east coast Ameriminions, you better stay safe during this storm and all these power outages. That is an ORDER.

He retweeted and like my blog I did on him just to let you know lol
Did you get the links alright.
Yeah Star, Disney have bought the rights to do the Star Wars 7
Yeah, I just checked the link and it worked:)
Star xD
*facepalm*
Am I speaking Malayalam to you? Honestly. :P
What, Em?
And it's going to be shit if Disney have rights.
I did a blog post on Darren Shan the other day, tweeted him the link, he retweeted the link and then thanked me for writing such a lovely piece.
My day was made!
Are you actually gonna read Dublin Daes now Flame? I've already started Book 2 lol
*laughs* Sorry, Eve. I'm so stupid. XD
Naw, Star, it's not just you. NO ONE gets what I say half the time. Not even when I explain for the seventh time. I don't know if I'm too genius or too insane.
Link.
And I dunno...
Probably the latter, Eve xD
I dedicate this thing to those people who are on the East Coast right now and the people who didn't make it through.
I also dedicate it to everyone who makes me smile here, when sometimes I rarely smile through my school day.
And the new S.P and Star Wars film:)
And to people who are actually decent at writing deds, because the one is failing epically in epic proportions on the epic fail scale.
And to all those people, like me, who are waiting for Derek to dedicate the last book to himself;P
This actually has to be the worst ded ever XD
Omg did anyone see the simpsons with Lady Gaga?
http://warningdonotenterthismind.blogspot.ie/2012/10/darren-shans-zom-b.html
There's the post he liked.
And also on my blog, you will find my collection of books and my dream cast for Skulduggery Pleasant movies :)
Now, Star, stop being an idiot. Do you know what the irony of this is? You emailed Scathio so she'd stop thinking things like this, and now YOU'RE thinking them. Look, what did you say again? You said that all human beings were selfish and are kind for their own gain. You believed it when you said it. Why not know?
Because I have no proof. And I don't want to be a selfish person. I can look at myself whichever way I like, but the truth of it is, I've always seen myself as mostly good. Now that is gonnnnnne.
Idiot. Nobody is good. You said so yourself.
I'm sure some people are though. :(
Sheer force of habit.
No. They want to do right things for sake of doing right things.
Imbecile. Remember? Nobody is good for being good. They're good because they want to think of themselves as good and because the can't bear the guilt, else.
You're right. :) But humankind is messed up. Seriously. The good things about us are just a facade.
"It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why . . . "
Moron. You have come to know why.
True. :) I love talking to myself. No wonder I was so good at writing that story with two people in the same body; it's a more extreme version of me. :)
Yuppers. We gonna hit Publish?
Why not?
*now
Okay, we're odd.
We are.
Sorry about thattttttt.
It WAS a good ded, btw.
God, I hate humans. I actually hate us so much.
Maybe it would be for the best if we were all nuclear bombed out. :/
Couldn't do it myself, though.
Now I'm wondering whether I would kill all humans or not if I had the opportunity???
What is wrong with me???
Don't worry, I wouldn't do it, because I'm weak and selfish. :)
Would it be morally right to do it or not do it, though? *muses*
STAR. STOP IT. YOU'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, SO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.
O_o
Flame!!! You haven't read Zom-B yet!!!!
I'm actually shocked...
No, I wouldn't do it. God wants us to exist for some reason. I wouldn't go against him.
I'm the sort of person who, once I've wtarted wondering things like this, won't be at rest until I have an answer. :P
Luckily, I have all my answers now. :)
Sorry. I'm being depressing. :P
WHY NOBODY COMMENTING?
Star I was writing a comment, but then you kept adding, so I had to reply and then it kept happening. :)
It seemed rude to interrupt your rant Star...
I got a new kitten.
*laughs* SORRY. Writing my thoughts down helps me settle them.
Really? AWWWWW. :)
Em, Ive been trying to catch up on Cassandra Clare's stuff...
And I am too, tbh.
I don't even HAVE it.
Nuclear bombed would be selfish. We would just wipe out all the other species on the planet. Star, I wouldn't worry about having to choose to destroy the world, or not, because humans are going to destroy it with global warming anyway, unless we do something about it, but as you say humans are selfish, so it's all going downhill anyway..
No, Star, you're not selfish, you just have lots of empathy, which is why you can feel what Luciana was feeling and can put yourself in the situation the Luciana is.
OMG KITTEN! Worships kitten. What's it called?
In Rebellion Sapphire and Marigold just got to a village and it had a hairdressers and a butchers and a random shop selling random things and a supermarket-like shop and a pub with a grassy hill all on the same street. REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING??? No, it doesn't. But it reminds me very much of MY village. Jiggle a few words about and it's the same. :)
We went to the shop, me and my cuz, and this cat kept walking into the shop. It was a Ginger kitten and it was freezing.
we couldn't help but bring it home and feed it.
It's outside screeching to be let in.
TTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm one happy minion. :D
Rua.
Red in Irish.
*laughs* TOO RIGHT, IENI. I WAS TRYING TO TALK HER OUT OF SEEING HERSELF AS SELFIDH BUT I JUST TALKED MYSELF INTO FEELING SELFISH. LOL.
Thanks for helping me with my descison not to nuclear bomb the world. :)
Not that I'd be able to nuclear bomb us even if I wanted to, but still.
I have too much empathy. It just brings me sadness. DON'T LIKE IT. I'm not just talking about today, btw.
AW! Poor kitten!
My thoughts are going round in circles. :/
Brb. Unless I suddenly have to leave.
Hey Ink, but now your gone... So alone in this void of comments
I don't like cats... evil!
Sorry I am here lol I'm still laughing at my heartbroken DDs reactions to the prologue of the new book.
I can't let it in, though. It's not house trained and I need tk up for a shower.
My cat of 7 years, though, isn't around.
He won't come in...
Cute, furry kittens,
snacking on ma grass,
I didnt know why they were there,
so I took them into my house!
*laughs*
I just went skipping (I don't skip, I walk or run or do something else, but NOT skip) around the house singing happily and grinning from ear to ear, all because of the Tanith Low novella.
My dad laughed when I told him that.
I am so weird...
*shoves marshwaffles into everyones mouths including own* MARSHWAFFLES! EAT THEM! Oh, and hello.
Phoenix, you're probably right. :P
Star, just distant observation, but.... Didn't all this start when you listened to that song?
I have a weird name. Maybe I should change it to giant-awesome-tree-powers-activate!!!!!! or something like that...
But Sarlia's pretty....keep it. :)
Don't change your name...
I only met ya!
Don't change your name :)
Must be going psychopaths!!
I shall talk to you on the other side of Halloween!
Fare thy well!!!
Memerald! Get your friggin book published! :P
Bye Mem!
Bye Em!
I agree with Eve, GET IT PUBLISHED!!!!
Girls stop... it's not worth it and I can't handle the ego.
It wouldn't get published anyway even if I paid off someone to publish it... It's only a blog book.
Bye!!
Awwwwwww...
But it's SO good!!
Bye Em!
But you have fans! It's against the law to not publish of you have fans. :P Because I said so.
I havent ever read any of Emeralds stories. And from what you are saying, they're good. I think I'll have a look. I am not a robot.
STAY SAFE AMERICA! :D
HAPPY HALLOWEEN MY BLOGLANDIAN FRIENDS! :)
Yay, Tanith's back! WOOOOO!
Hey Maralie, like the new addition to your name. Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*laughs*
I just showed my friend (he's read all the SP books) Derek's post and me and him are now just being weird minions and talking in caps on Skype. :P
Hi Mara!!!
Heya Sarlia! :D Thanks, hehe :3 HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEN!
Hey Miss Cain! :D
HALLOWEEN!!!!!
wbd, blogging...
I'm babysitting my little cousin :) He is so cute but he keeps trying to eat my leg...
*laughs*
Had to disappear for a few minutes...
My friend needs my to wear a fedora to her party...but I don't have one...is there anything I could wear instead?
Aww! With younger kids, I generally entertain them by insulting myself and tickling them...it generally works and then they get worn out :D
I'm dressing up as a spoon for Halloween :) And I'm going trick or treating with-
OMG FINN GET AWAY FROM THE COOKER!!!!!!!!!
:) I have a baby cousin that looks like she's hugging you but actually she's eating your shoulder. And then she'll pull your hair.
I don't have a baby cousin. :(
YET.
Oh, I hate when babies do that. Why do they pull hair?
YET?
I want a baby sister...
GET AWAY FROM THE BIN!!!!!
Because they want to eat it. You have to hurt yourself and pull your hair out of her hands before she chews on it and she'll look at you as if you've slapped her. :D
OMG same with Finn.
He attacks your hair like it's a demon sent from hell and chews and chews and chews. It hurts.
BAD.
Nom nom nom nom nom
My baby cousin now if you bring a book anywhere near her she'll point at it and go;
'book, book, book, book' and without realising start saying 'bob, bob, bob, bob, bob'
OOOOOH. I found a whole bag full of chocolate buttons...
*glances at mum* She's not watching. Should I...?
*opens packet*
Mum: JANE.
Me: *cries*
aaebikae riuearyki8a.
OWCH. The keyboard hit me in the face. And it made me type jibberish with my NOSE!!!!!!!!!
Grrrr...

How dare it... How DARE it???!!!!
Haha :D Bob bob bob..

Finn pointed at the screen and went OOOOOHH!!
Tell him a random person said hello
Okay.
"Finn, a random person said hello."
"OOOOH."
I have to go... :(
HAPPPPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLE AND SARLIA!!!!
~ Mara x
I shall read Stories and epicness
Back.
Bye Mara!!
Okay....I must start reading again. Now I know I must.
Eve, reading is good. Read.
Nix hasn't been on the blog for like two weeks. WHAT IS HAPPENING?
I know, it's just that ever since I read Skulduggery, and especially since Kingdom of the Wicked, other books haven't appealed to me so much because Skulduggery is better. Maybe it's just this boring book I have to read because a friend gave it to me for my birthday, but I haven't been reading at ALL lately. I must read more or I shall....
FORGET HOW TO READ.
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUN!
Eve, I just commented a few hours ago

*laughs hysterically*
I CAN SEE IT xD
DEREK: YUUUP THE MINIONS HAVE LOST IT, I AM THE BEST FROLICER AND SINGER KNOWN TO THE WORLD!!!!
*is laughing so hard it hurts*
Which Iriminions live in/near Dublin?
OMGG MY SIDES HURT!!!!!!
*continues to laugh*
Derek: Those Minions have underestimated me. I AM THE BEST!!!!

*comes back laughing*
Em lives in Dubling
*continuously dies of laughter*
i can see him now he's in a meadow as we speak....ITS COMING TRUE!!!!
Hello. :)
Damnit, you've got I Am The Best in my head, now.
Which makes me think of Big Bang.
Which depresses me further. Big Bang are doing two concerts in London. And my mum refuses to let me go... Even though she knows they're my favourite band!
She better let me go to Dublin next year, now... I'll get the money and convince my sister to take me.
i think i died many times over
BIGBANG ARE DOING CONCERTS IN LONDON?!?!
I wanna live in the UK now...
Same Zaf, same...
READ THE POST:
http://myoddandawesomelife.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/happy-halloweeeeeeen-and-important.html
ZAF!! THE THING I WAS WORKING ON IS IN THE POST!!
Yeah... And my sister's friends are going. :/
I hate England. :(
HI PEOPLES!
I just made a pumpkin. I has a massive face. As always. And is really spikey. As always. And has a massive spikey monobrow. Not as always. :)
I actually want to be writing now. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME???
Oh, btw. If someone is stalking the comments' section - which somebody usually is - then COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!! I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU!!! BECAUSE WHOEVER YOU ARE I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE THIS PLACE MORE FUN!!!! YUSSSS. :)
I'M GONNA BE NAGGING PEOPLE TO COME OUT OF HIDING ALL THE TIME NOW. IF I REMEMBER. WHICH I PROBABLY WON'T. :P
*It
It's odd, because my sister always has the larver pumpkins and the smaller faces, and I always have the smaller pumpkins and the larger faces. My brother is about mediummmm.
*larger
im excited to go trick or treating xD
Hello, Star!
Wbd, learning a French presentation... It's 6 minutes long. And then I have a booklet of vocabulary to learn... Then physics work. Then they're trying to make me revise for maths... I just want to read SP. And game. And sleep. And read something else, maybe It... Idk. Anyway, wbd.
Hi Star!!
Ahem.
Announcment time.
I won't be on here for the month of November. The WHOLE month.
It's in the blog post.
thats the stupidest idea ever, tech free? may i ask and i do not mean to offend, is your mum drunk or something Cain?
No. She's actually quite reasonable. I'm on my computer too much. But I won't be able to talk to you guys. :C
CAIN THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WON'T GET TO TALK TO YOU ON MY BIRTHDAY. D:
WHAT!?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Well, early happy birthday L!!
*hugs*
HEYLO, people.
I AM GOING TO ANALYSE THIS GRAIN OF SAND.
Appearance: Small, translucent, yellowy-brown
Smells of: The sea
State: Solid (very hard - does not dint when stamped on)
Sounds produced: None.
Tastes: Gritty and absolutely disgusting
*laughs*
Very good observations Star!
i'd kill myself without technology i really would i mean its how i talk to all my friends my day would be boring if i didnt do stuff hence why i get super bored when my parents ground me they think it smart to ban me from technology for a week but they end up getting agrivating because i bug them so they give in its always like that
:(
Tell her you're socialising and that it's good for you??? Because it is. :)
omg im gonna be in part of my costume already i got the cloak and the Elders robes depending on if its cold
CAN ANYONE THINK OF ANY QUOTES FROM SP BOOKS TFO-KOTW?
I have plenty of quotes for SP and PWF. Just not TFO, DD, DB, TEOTW or KotW. :(
Sowwy, Scathio.
*sighs*
I really don't want to go, but I have to. Tell everyone that I said goodbye, OK?
And I need my sleep.
So yeah, bye all, see you all in December.
*hugs*
BYEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*waves frantically*
*disappears*
SEE YOU IB DEC, CAIN. :(
Quickly, from MC, 'It's defies gravity and reason'. Fletchers hair.
Bye once again!!!!!!
*disappears again*
bye Miss Cain...*sighs* poor her thats gonna be one hell of a month i give sympathy and may the force be with you Miss Cain
Bye, Cain. :'(
My internet is malfunctioning. *frowns* DAMMIT.
Okay, for the third time:
Scathio, ignore the second email I sent you. Because later, I realised it'd probably make you feel bad. And you can ignore the first one too, if you want.
daaaamn
IF IT MALFUNCTIONS ONCE MORE, I'M SWITCHING BACK TO MY OLD BROWSER FOR A BIT.
Tbh, all of it makes me feel worse...
I'm a horrible person. That's all there is to it.
'Leaders wear hats' is from DB, right?
Everybody's horrible. My new advice is DISTRACTIONS. Think about something out. And I know it sounds like rubbish advice, but that's because I'm rubbish and it's the best I've got. *shrugs*
You're human, so therefore you have to be horrible. But you're not the only one. Everybody does things only for their own gain. People might think they're doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, but actually they're just doing the right thing to avoid feeling guilty. IF THE GOOD PEOPLE DO WAS JUDGED BY THEIR INTENTIONS FOR DOING IT, WE WOULD HAVE DONE ZERO GOOD.
Bbs, gotta go out and pick up my brother with my mum . . .
GRRRRR!!!!!!!
IM GOING TO MURDER SOMEONE!!!!!
Satrudarday.....
no trees down in the community anymore no flooding but we wont let kids go out trick or treating? how stupid
:(
I'm sorry, Zaf. If it makes you feel better, I've never been trick or treating. I've never been allowed to.
yet New York City....FLOODED dark and all and the mayor lets them go out yet they wont let us who didnt get it as bad? in my opinion theres stupid written all over it now i get to suffer 2 days and see all my lovely UK friends go out me? no as usual
well i feel bad for you
uno
Happy Halloween, Derek! :D
Oh, I'm writing a fanfic about Skulduggery in a baguette costume >:D
I dedicate this page to all the sorry souls everywhere in the east coast of America who definetly should be out trick or treating but the idiotsi n charge think its unsafe yet the community isnt flooded or with trees down and has power. Thats my situation too. Yet i get to suffer until saturday. I also dedicate to those who arent allowed to go out but the town or city they live in lets them, i feel bad for you its something you missing out on
I AM CREEPED OUT BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE TO FIRST TALK ABOUT SKULLY DRESSING UP AS A BAGUETTE FOR HALLOWEEN
I blame Becky.
its healthy to blame Becky
*sighs* now i hope i get to find out from Panda
Awesome dedications, Zaf. *hugs*
IMAGINE GOING TRICK OR TREATING AND WHEN THE DOOR OPENS DEREK IS JUST THERE.
I'd actually cry. Or scream. :P
i'd cry for joy. just imagine you never realised Derek lived in your neighborhood until Halloween when you trick or treat by his house i'd faint
Omgg, I'd probably just stand there and be like
