"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.

MEE!!
No, guys! Let someone who really has something to ded to get first! Please!
SSH****TTTT
Nice job fabi
Yes i know what im doing for once ok?
Zaf, I've deded a lot lately. You can have the ded if you include MAHU.
Aretha: ...Well, you got me there. XD But then again, I'm younger than most here. And I remember once stating that I was the most mature, and Death laughed at me. :P I don't think it's about being mature. I'm just trying to shove everyone into Derek's shoes and hope they all fit. :P
NO!!! Just give ROYALTIES to MAHu
NO!!! Just give ROYALTIES to MAHu
Fine okay ill ded to MAHU okay now am i allowed to ded?
Sorry, wasn't planning on getting first with that. Thanks Jubi.
You may ded, Zafira.
^^
Yeah I know my suggestion is twisted but really is it highly impossible to happen??
It's not unlikely, actually.
I dedicate this page to kindness, there are some who no matter what are there for others and there are some who have none, i know all us Bloglandians are epic and support each other we show kindness if one is upset or hurt, thank you i'm proud to be a Minion and Bloglandian, we stick together like we are glued
And so you guys dont kill me i dedicate to SPPD and MAHU there im not on either side
To Master Derek for being him
To Emerald Melody for showing me courage thanks Emmy
Whaaaaa? Who DOESN'T love Kessie? She's adorable!
(Also, she made me someone's pet rock)
*sighs*
I'm sorry. Shouldn't have lashed out like that...
*mumbles something about deleting a comment*
Nice, ded, Zafmira. As much as I despise getting glue on my fingers, I loved the dedication.
Laaaaav, if that Easter egg was put in Australian weather for that long, you could dip strawberries in it. :P
I don't. Trust me, she's not. I know her in real life. Not a walk in the park. and DEFINATLY NOT ADORABLE. That comment kinda made me want to puke.
Thats how i feel Kallie its up to him and so my fate is his to choose so if he does i die oh well im happy no person needs to tell me he wont they arent him
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaav. *hugs* You're not alone.
Hey guys, maybe dedicate to whatever side your on as a SIDE dedication to something meaningful? Like what Zafira did?
Has anyone noticed that Derek thinks Australians talk funny. WHAT ABOUT IRISH PEOPLE!!!!!! They are the funniest talking people of them all and Derek thinks Australians talk funny. HA!
Duck he is Irish
I now have the feeling Kessie is planning on killing me Tuesday if she reads this *shifty eyes*
*smiles slightly*
Thanks, Kal.
I may have eaten the egg though. But I forgot. And I don't really have the time to look in past comments to see if I did.
[Has been mortally wounded by Lavender's comment.]
I know my deds aren't as good as L.'s, but are they really THAT bad???
[Dies. Actually goes to dinner. Bye]
He is Irish so he should know how funny they talk
You're such a considerate person Kilandra....
That's a good idea, Eve. *smiles bigger*
Are you trying to say that you love Kessie then Jubi?b 'Cause I'm already going to puke.
*smile fades*
I'm sorry, Fabi... It's just you guys mostly dedicate to MAHU and whatever else it was, and... Never mind...
Hi Kallista!
I don't care what you say,
Kessie's adooorable,
Y'try to correct me, you say
That I don't know the truth!
Yes, that in the tune of Bleeding Love. It's stuck in my head, okay?
Anyway, Kessie's nice here, so in my mind, she's nice. I mean, you can't even PRETEND to be nice without being nice, so... *throws confetti everywhere*
Hi guys!
Eve, and the person is going to put in a scene where a girl named Ivy kicks Eve the pet rock. She was so confused...
Andra, I AM adorable! *pouts*
Grand Mage, don't listen to them. You can and will be an actress if that's what you want.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
yep I just threw up a little. Thanks a lot Kessie.
*goes to read*
Going to have to leave right after, so saying bye now.
I'll be on later though. Bye.
*goes off to read Kallie's post*
*laughs*
Come with me now 24601
*also goes to read post*
Now please tell me this: At which point did I say I didn't love Jubi just as much as Kessie? You guyssssss! Now I have to make a speech about how I love each and every one of you equally! :P
Zaffy loves all Minions equally
I was talking TO Jubi not about her.
That's what I meant, Kessie. Thanks. *short distance hug*
Awwwwww, bye Lav!
I can't keep up with these comments! *digs a hole and hides in it*
*hugs Eve*
Kallie, I've read that before! And commented!
I was just telling you how considerate you are! ^^
Bye Lavender!
Hehehehe
*gives Kallie ice-cream*
Yeah, and considering that being considerate (oh thats an odd sentance) had nothing to do with me throwing up for someone saying Kessie is adorable I took it as sarcasm.
I would apologise on behalf of all your fans for pestering you to write a blog post. But I realised I'm not sorry. I LOVE your blog posts!
Damn you, why must you tease us so when we can't read the book for AGES yet!
I think that Jubi had been talking to me Kessie.
Haha yeah... I was telling her how Considerate she is :P
Im feeling better
*plays catch with a zombie head*
Hi Quintessa!
*stops self from asking if I can call you Alastor*
Jubi, I am confused
Hi Quintessa!
*steals zombie head*
Quintessa can I call you Tessa or Tess for short?
I'm kinda confused too. IS IT NORMAL FR ME TO CONFUSE MYSELF!?!?
That zombie head CAN WEAR A FEZ!!
Hey!!
*tackles*
Mine
Andra, she was sarcastically calling you considerate because you were being mean about me.
Jubi,^ right?
Jubi, and a beanie!
Well, Kessie the truth hurts.
Erm... why would you call me Alastor?
I started the Snowmen Episode, Kessie.
*pulks zombie head away from Zaf* No. Mine. *plays soccer/football*
Kessie, yeah :P lol it was sarcastic
Quintessa, because of Alastor "Mad-Eye" MOODY.
*Sobs* Pond *sobs* I cried so hard after seeing that.
Andra, you've only STARTED it? I've seen it like five times!
IT'S SMALLER ON THE OUTSIDE!
^_^
*steals Mammy cat*
Good kitty
*she steals my tree*
Hey!! My tree!
*Mammy cat gives me a cat look*
Pfft ok fine meanie
all i have to say about that kessie is... Mother.
The muffin man?
*takes muffin* Thankee, Kallie!
Jubi, that made me like Clara so much more...
Angels Take Manhattan i sobbed hysterically
But Les Miserables i cried so much in 3hrs
Grand Mage, if I give you back the head will you give Derek back his cat?
[Is back. Isn't really mad at Lav. I hope.]
Kestrel- Hahah brilliant! Mad-eye Moody was almost my favourite. Apart from Hagrid. Hagrid is awesome.
Hi Fabi! *finds ded wAr incredibly amusing but is also completely neutral*
She stole me tree!! She mean!
*has Derek*
Go on kitty....
*kitty sits on Derek's feet*
Oopsie
NIGHT BLOGLAND I GTG BED
I didn't cry during Angels Take Manhattan BECAUSE MY STUPID FRIEND SPOILED IT FOR ME AND I ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!
I find it amusing, too.
Hi Kes, Jubi, Zaf!!
Ded wars are amazing
Alastor, and I call Skylar Evans Lily because of Lily Evans...for some reason I've been having Harry Potter thoughts recently. My favourite is Snape, and then Kreacher.
He's off the ventilator...
Still not awake yet...
FFFAAABII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
Thats the problem with being friends with people that like the same stuff as you. *Thinks about how friend had ruined the river song/ melody thing*
Bye Grand Mage!
Jubi, I knew pretty much exactly what happened, and yet I was still stupid enough to watch it in the middle of the night when I was supposed to be asleep. I SOBBED.
Hi Em! That's good, right?
Kilandra, MY FRIEND RUINED THAT TOO!!
She
CAN'T
STOP
SPOILING
THINGS!!!
Kreacher is cool. In the movie I loved Snape, because he was always making dramatic movements with his cape. It always looked like he was trying to dance, and failing.
Awesome Derek! You started to write KOTW on the same day as my my birthday, which was yesterday,and as an awesome birthday gift i bought an ebook copy of KOTW for my kindle.
Hi, Kilandra, Em (is that good?), Quintessa!
Bye, Zaf!
ALAN
RICKMAN
is amazing
He was perfect in the movies and even better in the books.
Hi Dylan!
Oh but this kid wasn't even one of THOSE kind of friends. I ended up stabbing him with a pen several times.
Hi Dylan
We're not sure... he had a bad lung infection, was doing nothing but coughing up blood the day before...
The antibiotics seem to be working but his lungs are really weak now...
Random Flame Hand is right about Irish people! They speak really funny!
Andra, he spoiled it for you? I thought that was me...
Hi Krestel.
True, so very true. There are not a lot of people who could have played Snape in the movie I think. It's always weird when I see actos from Harry Potter in other movies now.
Em, wait, is this Chase or your son?(Sorry)
No HE spoiled it. Which makes it worse. Because he's HIM
Dylan, are you a vampire!(Do NOT ask)
Oh, Em!
*Hugs*
It's okay!
Chase...
And it's okay Kes, I should've said who it was...
Guys... I just finished episode 2 of Supernatural... spoooookkkyyyyy ~ Yeah anyway, I'm having kind of an internal crisis because at this rate I'm sure I'll reach Bloody Mary before the night is done, and there are three mirrors in my room, and mirrors kind of freak me out already, but I know if I get to it I'm going to watch it anyway... What should I do...?
I dislike commenting on a computer... It feels weird!
Dylan, I was asking Em. 0.0
Well, it's good that the antibiotics are working... [Tries to look on the bright side]
Hi Death!!
I am going. Night!
Break the mirrors... Mirrors are evil...
Hi Aretha!
Em, I'm so sorry....
Hi Fab!
Bye Thrust!!!!
Night, Thrust!
Hi/bye Thrust!
This has been the worst 2 weeks of my life...
*sobs*
*Hugs Em tightly*
It'll be okay!
*hugs Em*
[hugs Em. Hums Enya music]
GROUP HUG!
Death, no. Just...no.
Ok here's what I will do. I have a very good plan and it involves relying on all of you guys. :) (look at that, I trust you all so much already!) I'm going to keep watching SPN, and I'll watch Bloody Mary too, but once I get to it I'll come back onto this chat and talk to you guys as I watch. Then I will be not quite as scared to death as I normally would be.... I'm still going to die, aren't I?... *superbestfriendhugs Emerald* I'm so sorry... Please stay strong!
I'm looking on the bright side of life! I do not want to go back the the dark side... It pulled me in for years!
*Shakes*
They said they had cookies... They lied...
Oh, and I'm trying to get everyone's thoughts off... things...
Oh. Well, I have to go now, Sherlock! Be back in like an hour...
Bye Kes!
Bye Kessie.
[Hands death a cookie]
[Offers some to everyone else]
always look on the briiight side of life *do doo do do do do do doo*
always look on the riiight siide of life *do doo do do do do do doo*
Yay! The good side has cookies!
If the good side lied about having cookies... would that make them the dark side?
*Takes cookie*
I almost have the first post of Virus 407B up!
BYE KESSIE!!!

It feels so much better to have my old pic back!
*Waves*
Eve! I got my old pic back!!!!
[Finishes Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Starts to sing]
When the sun shines together,
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, ima stick it out til the end
Now that it's rainin' more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
*Hands Fab a cupcake that says 'Sorry im an idiot'*
I actually made them once...
*Also throws a Phantom of the Opera CD at her*
Eve... Maybe an earlier page? I don't think I know you irl...
Thanks for the cupcake and CD, Death. [smiles]
Im sorry!
It's ok.
LOOK! *points* ITS A BLUE COW!!!
*Runs at blue cow*
*Starts riding blue cow*
Strangest thing I've done all day!!!!!
*grabs Clemy*
*rides with Death*
[Plays cd and sings along]
Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation...
Lets go to a rodeo with Bluey-Four-Hoof!
Darkness stirs and
Wakes imagination
OK!
*Flies to Rodeo*
Silently the senses abandon their defenses...
[trails off to watch rodeo]
Can I try to stay on for 8 seconds?
*Puts on cowboy hat and ties it onto head*
I'll still look cool this way!
Stetsons are COOL!
You can definitely try, and you'll probably make it, too.
You can say that again Doctor!
*Jumps on bull*

Good try!
I hate riding...
*Notices hat had fallen off, hair is a mess beneath*
I need a hairbrush...
Someone else try!
*Throws hat in the air*
*grabs hat*
I'LL TRY!
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO STAY ON?
Okay! You know the rules?
[Looks in purse for hairbrush.]
Sorry, I can't find a brush, Death.
I think I have to stay on without falling of... It would make sense..
8+ seconds, no touching the bull and if you come off and get past the 8 seconds in the air, it still counts...
*Just realizes that I know a lot about bull riding*
Uh...
*off :p
8 seconds, I think.
OKEYDOKEY!
*hops on the bull*
It's okay... I shall find one...
*wanders off to find a hair brush*

[Offers some to Jubi. Also offers washcloth]
Good try!

Be distant... I need to write something!
