"Write a new blog post," they say. Like it's that easy. Like it's that simple.
And what if I have nothing to talk about? What if there is nothing I WANT to talk about? Don't I get a say in any of this? Doesn't my opinion MATTER?
And of course the Twitter people are nudging me. Every. Single. Day. I can't escape them. They're getting into my head.
They're in my DREAMS...
I'm all achey. I've had a long day and I'm tired. All I want to do is go to bed- and yet going to bed before 2 AM always seems like a waste of time. Like there's something I could be doing, some work I could be getting done...
33,000 words done on Book 8, by the way.
This time last year (January 6th) I started KOTW. I had been hideously delayed because of work to the house I'd been having done, and the deadline was fast approaching. So this year, having 33,000 words done by this stage is something of a relief. I am, of course, assuming that I can continue writing at the same rate. So, er, hopefully I can.
Wrote a cool scene yesterday. It involves Fletcher. It involves blood. It involves AWESOMENESS.

I didn't cry. I don't cry at stuff like that. The only TV thing I've cried at is when Bambi's mum died, it just makes me feel really depressed for ages. Book and TV stuff keep doing that to me. Just like normal episodes of Waterloo Road, so I might have to stop watching it-_-
I shall auch disappear soon. :(
IT'S OPTIONS EVENING TOMORROW NIGHT.
I have m options pretty much sorted. I'm amazed at myself.

I dont normally cry at things... but yeah I loved the ponds, so you can see why jenna isnt my favorite person in the world...

Zaf, if I could blush (which I can't... Don't know why) I would be bright red...
Thanks Fab! Your FABulous!
wait...I can stay for 10 mins :)
can you all scream? I didnt think I could for a while but I actually can...he I can blush. I hate it. :)
No problem!
Wbd, making a new profile pic. It's going to rock!
I could scream if I wanted to.
I can scream, but not blush.
Even when I have ran 1.6kms, my face is still pale...
Also, I'm dying my hair in a few days! Im going blonde instead of brown!
Though, with screaming, I prefer to help
My hair is really weird, it naturally goes between blonde and Sadie Kane caramel. Also it has been reddish from time to time. I seldom do much to it.
I dont enjoy blushing, it happens at the worst times...kewl! I would dye my hair blonde if I had to dye it, but I like it dark brown :)
I can scream and blush...
My hair is strange... It is dark at the top, almost black, and the bottom is a bronzey goldy colour
I hate blushing because I cant control when I do it but screamings ok...I suppose...but I dont have a lot to scream about...
Mum booked me in for a hair dye without my permission
really? my mum was pushing me to dip dye my hair blue or something...
Gtg... I have fourty minutes to get ready!
I might be back...
ok bye! Im going too... so bye!
I want blue fudge! Its like temporary hair dye! I can go around saying I'm Clarabelle! My personality matches my looks!
Later!
Bye, Death! I'm sure you'll look awesome blonde!
Bye, Mel!
Blue hair would be funny, but not something I'd ever do..
Hello.
Oh! It actually worked!
Like the new profile pic Fabi
*high fives*
Thanks, Em!
[high fives back]
It's my old avatar from Glitch, a game I used to play.
*hugs Em*
Hey, how are you?
Are you doing any better?
I'm a bit better today... that cry last night did a lot of good.
Still feel a bit out of place...
But we have to crack on preparing for the funeral on Sunday and then his will reading is on Wednesday so none of us has really had any time to breathe...
You'll probably feel out of place for a while...
I always feel like I'm about to puke after drinking a lemsip..
Derek! You fixed the spelling error on page 177 in Playing with Fire!
AHHH I FEEL SO SPECIAL BECAUSE I TOLD YOU THAT
Hello, Val!
Congrats on finding the error...
Lol why are we proud on finding an error??
The feeling of observance, like 'I noticed what a really good author and his editors didn't,' I'd guess.
Because she knows the books off by heart and she told him about the error.
So, like, she's all like, I CORRECTED SOMETHING AN EDITOR DIDN'T.
None of you better not nit pick about Dublin Daes...
There will be wars...
Hahaha Em!
Well...
I could...
But nah.
I have a load of editing to do on chapter two of the origin.
Blergh.
I don't know which chapter to write next, though. :0
I'm really afraid that if I finish The Origin, it won't have a high wordcount..,
I'm too busy correcting my own mistakes to correct others'...
I grated the nerve endings on my finger today by accident,.
Just make sure you describe scenes and characters as best you can, or lengthen conversations... that's how you'll count your words up Flame.
I gtg, having computer problems...
Bye! Good luck on your various writing projects.
Em Iriminion me loves you
Hey Guys! :D
I'm gonna go asleep.
Bye-bye guys! Happy Christmas!
Hello! I am back!
I greet you all heartily!
Me loves you too Zaffy xx
Happy sleep!
Did anybody else notice how much Argeddion sounds like Armageddon? Or was that just me? O.O
It may or may not be a coincidence.
(sheepishly)
No, I hadn't noticed.
I wonder if that was on purpose...
I wonder if that was on purpose...
FABI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
evil
I dedicate this page to the various writing projects the Golden God and we minions are working on. May your stories and poems et al come out of the pen/keyboard just the way you want them.
To Mycroft and his umbrella, of course, and to Jubi for the profile pic, and for calling me evil (sarcastically) Thank you SOOOO much!.
To Em for being strong and hanging in there, and finally to the Roman Legion.
You CRUEL CRUEL CHILD
*sighs*
I've got to help with another major cleaning thing today...
Not that I don't like to help, but I'd rather talk here... Now that school's back for some of you, it's more active when I'm asleep.
So I'm here for about 30 minutes.
LAAV!!!! hi...
Hi, Lavender!
I'm here for about 30 minutes as well...
Hi Fabi, Jubi.
You know, I was meaning to tell you, Jubi, that your name is almost spelled like my given name. Give you a hint. One letter is different. ;)
I just got my braces tightened this morning...
AND IT'S PAINFUULLLLL
yeah
I get my braces off next month!!!!!
hmm..
is it JubilEnce?
You've got braces?
I'm going to get them... Not sure when, but I'm going to have to wear them for 2 or 3 years, that's how badly crooked they are.
Oh, I gtg now!
Sorry...
Bye
Bye Fabi!
No, sorry. I should have made it clearer. I mean your nickname(Jubi).
BYE FABI!!
ooh...
Juni?
*they meaning my teeth. Not the braces...
I dunno. I just noticed it right away. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw his name. Maybe that's not such a good thing...
Nope. I would put that under boy's names.
Haha... yeah... :P
Judy???
Hi Aretha.
*realizes this is a new page*
*wonders who else is here*
Nope.
*grins*
And I thought it would be easy to guess. This is amusing.
You know, Eve guessed it from scratch.
Okay, I gave her hints too. Still, your name is a ready made hint. So no more for you. ;P
Rubi?
[isnt really here, but curious]
Juli?
That's usually Julie though...
UUGHH lol this is amusing :P
Zaaaaf
Yeah I was thinking that Fabi... But It's usually Ruby.... I don't know... heh heh heh
ZAAAF!!!!
hi
No again for both.
Although, every time I tell someone my name the first time, they always think I said Julie.
Hi Zaf!
I'm not sure if you know, but don't tell them anything if you do.
Okay!

My friend once torn a book of mine completely and I cried over it. She knew I liked it...
Jubi, I said ONE letter. :P
July
THIS HAS TO BE IT OR I WILL DIE
Juri?
Oh wait thats two letters...
UUGH

Is your name... Lord Voldemort?
No, wait, I've got it!it's Rumplestiltskin!
*laughs*
PWF
That comment was late. Sorry.
Nope, not it either, Fabi.
You guys are kinda close though. Give you another hint. The one letter you need to change is the b.
No typing the alphabet though! One at a time. And at random. Otherwise it's not as fun.
Bye again Fabi.
Oh. Yeah, I would be slightly worried not to get it back in time then.

haha
Aretha, I said it was almost the spelling as Jubi. One letter difference.
Course I'm not Rumplestiltskin! ;P
Hi Eve! Don't say anything!
Yeah, Jubi, that is cheating! Not saying. You're going to have to guess one at a time.
And not alphabetically either!
JUDI
Aretha- Juci's not it either.
NO
*says in singsong voice*
Guess again!
*looks back at list*
JUWI
JUZI
*giggles*
Nope!
Okay, if I have to leave before you guess it, would you like me to tell you? Or wait?
Hi! Can I guess, too?
YES!
Juji?
Hey people!
Hi, Shaida! You new? Can I call you Shai? Yeah, you can guess!
Okay.
Shai is fine.
Yes, I'm new.
Hi Sev! You can guess too! But warning: right now I'm distant, so won't answer your guesses right away.
Juyi?
SEPH!!!!!!
hi
Hey Shai!
I'm Persephone Grief. Assassin and occasional follower of the Faceless Ones.
That fool over there *waves hand dismissively* is my apprentice, Jubilance Glee.
Welcome to the blog, Shai!
*hands welcome sign*
Hope you're enjoying yourself.
*smiles*
HI SHAIDA/SHAI!!!!
Hello, Lavender and Persephone!
I'm definitely enjoying myself. :-)
Guess again, Shai. Not Juyi.
Hello, Jubi!
Lavender! Is it Jupi?
That's a place.
juci...?
That's good! :)
Sorry though, you kinda got me in a very cheerful moment. Although, I usually am. :)
Juji?
Jufi?
I think its Juli
Nope- Sev. Not Jupi.
Juci was already said, Jubi. :P
Jumi?
Yeah I know...
Yay! Sev! You got it right!
My name is Jumi!
Juhi?
Juxi?
Juyi?
Never mind.
I AM THE CHAMPION
Yay Sev!
Hi Shai! I'm an assassin for the American Sanctuary. I'm an adept- my discipline is blood manipulation. Lovely to meet you!
What's my prize?
And hi Aretha!
haha WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME
Congrats!
*hands Sev a trophy that says Name Guesser Champion on it*
There's your prize!
Hi Persephone!
Hi Aretha, I'm Shai. I am currently unemployed. My power is resistance to adept powers. There are a few that can still get me, but I'm not saying which.
My given name rhymes with an annoying SP character.
Yay!
*puts trophy on shelf*
*does victory lap*
Shai, do you mean physically or mentally resistant, or both.
Mine's invisibility, so could you see me or not?
KITANA!
for the annoying SP character...
Well... Annoying is a matter of opinion... I am hesitant to guess...
Mostly mind magic. I couldn't see what color hat you were wearing, but I would know you were there.
The first letter of my given name is the answer to this riddle.
I am in berth, but not in bed
I am in fire, but not in flame
I am in earth, but not in stone
I am in dirt, but not in soil
I am in heart, but not in soul
What am I?
Hey, Jubi, how did you become Persephone's apprentice? What do you guys do together?
My power is adept: abitity to change shape into any animal in existance. And while in that form, I can communicate through thoughts.
Gotta go now. Bye!
*whispers*
Be back later.
Weelllll
I needed a job and she made me her apprentice... and we kill people
its fun
