"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've never heard you song though :P
Saphy - I'm singing. I'm going to England. Wooohooo...? But yeah. I'm gonna be crapping myself. I'm the Irish girl with blue eyes and brown hair called Jane. Mhm.
FABI!! hi
Thanks Fabi. She got confused enough for me to pounce on her with a pillow. I am trying to type this with my hands while I tickle her with my feet
Im gonna go guys...I need to sleep even though its quarter to seven at night...be back in an hour! hopefully... :)
No problem, confusing is my specialty.
Fabi - Thanks :) I suppose... But that means making an idiot of myself in front of millions of people...
Jubi - Thank you :)
Bye, Mel!!!
Even if you fail, you'll still be great, Mara.
lalalala
Lol, I make an idiot of myself a lot. It's possible to survive.
Bye Mel *squeezehugs*
Good luck Mara!
Fabi - NOT IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE! *waves arms around frantically*
Bye Mel *queezehugs as well*
Thanks Saphy :)
Mara, you're right, about 2000 is my record...
Jubi are you a boy?
I'm considering entering New Zealand's got Talent next year. I write songs, and I want to sing one and play the guitar... But I;m not the world's greatest singer.
Are you?
Fabi - Thought so. *nods*
I want to make a band........
OK say mememememe if youre a boy
I don't sing whatsoever. Actually, I do. A lot. But It's more like croaking than singing.
mara- the girl I love is about 20 years older than me and her name is Angelina Jolie
Saphy - If I can do the X Factor, you can do New Zealand's Got Talent.
Are we running out of space?
I have an idea. if we run out of space we talk on someone elses blog like mine or someones.
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Sigh. Then again, I'm not one to judge. The guy I like is two years older than me and on the other side of the planet... And has a girlfriend. I knew him when I was younger.
Mara: Gulp. Okay. I'll try.
Brave - Yeah, I'm talking about classmates x)
Go Sapphy!! Go Mara!!
I am BORED
The guy I like was there for one of my most embarrassing moments...
Saphy - *pats head* Good girl.
I'M TWELEVEEEEEE!
Random fact about me.
LOL
If I were to enter a talent show, I'm not sure what I would do...
IM BOOOOORED
I'm THIRTEEEEEEEEEN. Just.
Hey, guys, what do you think of this as the beginning for my song?
Oceans can seem so huge,
And worlds so vast,
But there isn’t a place,
And there isn’t a time
Where I wouldn’t be there for you
Good? Bad? I'm scared. What're you singing Mara?
Saphy, depends on what tune you sing it to...
The words are good though.
Thanks Fabi :) I should probably calm down. It's a few months until NZGT
MY CRUSH IS IN 4TH CLASS IM IN 5TH CLASS...
SAPHY OMG THAT'S BRILLIANT!!!! :D
I don't know. Maybe The Script? Six Degrees or something. I don't know. One Direction sing about girls though... So I can't sing their songs. Unless I sing Taken. *muses*
I MANAGED TO GET ON! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Msd, though:(
I gtg... Will be back in maybe an hour.
Hi/Bye Ieni!!!

Bye Fabi! *squeezehugs*
IENI! *tacklesqueezehugs*
Hey guys!!!! I poofed...
WBD
Bye Fabi! *hugs and gives virtul cookie* (::)
Bye Fabi! *hugs and gives virtul cookie* (::)
GUYS, I NEED HELPPPPPP
My friend has asked me to write her some poetry about love and life knowing my experiences and my knack for English...
Anyone mind helping me? Preferably someone that doesn't irritate me and that actually doesn't mind putting up with me... :3
IENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
I wrote a poem about love two years ago. It's rubbish and I hate it, but if you're really desperate...
It’s the best thing that can happen,
The worst thing you can feel
Pulls on your heart,
Scrambles your mind,
Joyful, hurting, confusing,
Varied, entangled, complicated
Love is the happiest emotion,
The one that hurts the most,
It’s the best thing that can happen,
The worst thing you can feel.
LUCI HI! *squeezehugs* I would but I'm terrible at poems... :(
Hi Charisma! *squeezehugs*
The wind whispers jently to me
as i sleep at night.
It tells me not to worry that everythings allright.
The storm will not come.
The birds will go on singing
you will be alright the deth bells wont be ringing.
the banshee will not linger
around youre house at night
go to sleep now child
sleep tight, sleep tight.
Though the wether is rather frightning and the tsunami's at its worst you will be alright young one youre ope will never thirst.
Gtg, sorry. I might come back...
Saph, I swear to God, if you keep saying your work is rubbish I'll bring out the chair. And Kessie had very bad experiences with the chair.
I JUST WROTE A POEM ABOUT A TSUNAMI IN JAPAN.
Ooo, this some war poetry I did in English:
Maybe in the beginning there was a reason,
For all this suffering and unimaginable pain.
Yet, why should I be shot for 'cowardice' and 'treason'?
When innocent minds are fractured and driven insane.
Silently and cursing, my mind screams,
As I watch brothers die in my bloodied arms,
And the past continually replaying in my dreams;
Their torn and shattered souls, pressing against my palms,
My feelings towards those high up is undiluted hatred,
Who unguilty send us to our deaths row upon row,
I think it's time for their power and ego to be deflated,
As we do not know if fate will let us pass through to tomorrow.
Can you hear me? Are you listening to what I have to say?
Can you bear our agony, or do you forget us as yesterday?
Bye Saphy! *squeezehugs*
I hope you liked it.
Stiltskin, you know how to make a girl go red...
Ah! People! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs* all

Anyone? I feel no one really likes me...
*Sticks hand up and waves in the air*

Theres one person at my reading level. That is a girl. WHY do my freinds that are bos read Horid Henry. You cant talk about SP with them OR michael mopurgo. Like really? We are reading goodnight mister tom in school for a novel and EVERYONE hates it because it has 'hard words' like really? is deteriorated a hard word? well yes actually it is but like come ON.
I ded to...
Um...
Saphy auditioning for New Zealand's Got Talent! And me auditioning for X Factor UK. I guess.
And MUSIC! Like 1D! And Olly Murs! And... Um... Yeah!
And Chase and Em... No more about that...
And... Kessie getting a fluffy unicorn called Mara! :D
Uh... And my Pillow Pets, Mara and Kessie!
And Wattpad!
And books...!
And going to bed and lying in and... Yawn...
And NERD GLASSES! Cause they're AWESOME!
And One Direction!
And Blogland and all its loyal Bloglandians!
And Derek! :D
I guess I'm done...?
Hi Death!!!!
Oh, how I do hate those awkward silences
Just had to say that
But it's not just a one occasion...
I'm sorry, I have to say this before I absolutely burst and I'm sorry if anyone is offended that it seems harsh.
You never use your proper English, you are in school, you are being taught how to write in proper English. This is a blog that was create by an author where a majority of it's participants are authors, please respect the company you are in, not just think that we are going to drop our English.
And another thing, every time you are on, you seem to take up the majority of comments by not being patient for people to reply to you. People come from different times zones, have different parental situations, different school routines. People are not just going to comment straight away because you are on.
Stop wasting space.
And if you feel that no one likes you, maybe you should change your attitude. Maybe take on board some of the things I've said. Arrogance does not suit you.
That's all I think I can say now...
Nice deds, Mara!
Death Death Death. You are something.............
Hi Fabi! *squeezehugs*
Hi Luci! *squeezehugs* I'm happy :) And you?
Hi Fab!
Stilt, I am hoping like hell he will be on today! Well, very soon at least...
Fab! Chapter 1 is up of Virus 407B...
*sigh*
Im getting sick of that name already....
Oh im sorry if you feel that way about me everyone and BTW i was messing when i said everyone hates me. I use proper english....I think......Sorry if i dont.
Hehe. Thanks Fabi :)
Emerald - I agree... :/ It's annoying when people take up space by randomly commenting! And they don't use proper English (no offence...)! :/
Yay for chapter 1!!!
[goes to read]
*Shrugs*
Psychopaths are cool!
Guys if you feel that way about me just say it. Thank you Emerald
I'm not speaking for everyone, I am speaking for myself...
These are things I have noticed Brave...
Hi guys, what's happening, how is everyone?
EM YOU JUST STOLE MY WORDS
I ADORE YOU. *hugs*
I might start reading this PJ book... Or write that poetry... Uh... Poetry, me thinks...
And the commenting randomly.....Its a habbit. I have been here six months. I know that some people are unhappy with me and i'm EVER so sorry.
Silt reminds me of my little brother, the English doesn't have to be perfect (be honest, who is?) and the commenting space is fine! We have hundreds of other blogs to post on! We're going to fill this one up soon enough anyway!
*Wraps arm around Stiltskin's shoulder*
'sokay bro!
Maybe when you feel compelled to do it, find somewhere else to put your randomness, like a word document or on something with less limits to the comments.
I will go if i annoy you ALL WAY to much. Can we change the subject
Don't go away, you're a nice person from what I've seen so far.
What else is going on?
HI GUYS!!!
Habits can be broken, it's time you broke yours.
You always apologize Brave but you never take on board what people like me or Star have to say when we see people constantly at you.
You just continue on with what you do.
I was able to help Eden, now when he comes on here, it's like talking to a completely different person because he is writing like he would in English class.
Most of us have been on here long before you came along, do yourself a favor and learn to listen and respect and possibly try what your elders are trying to help you with...
Em, as you said, some people have different routines, but what of Brave's routine only aloud him a few minutes on the blog?
He might not have got his answer
Thanks deth i wuv you ( Not really. youre Edwards gal.)
Death i mean GOD sorry......
Seriously...
I'm gonna be made to be the big bad wolf because I said what most people on this blog is thinking??
That's wonderful...
OK tiem to change the subject.....
Edward?
LOL Em. You HAVE thought me a lesson and im TRYING OK?
Deacon!!!!!
*Runs away*
Eden. LOL that what i called him
it was a joke
just saying
Um, we were writing stories in school today and I wrote about the Bloglandians...? *winces*
Oh... I was gonna say that Emmett is so much hotter...
*Laughs and hide kneecaps*
Thanks!
IM A PURPLE ORANGOUTANG!!!
LOOK! IT'S A FLYING DONKEY! *bolts*
Death, just read Chapter 1. Love it!
Cool! That is actually, really, really cool!
FABI!!!!
hi
It's my flying donkey and his name is Susan.
Thanks Fabulous!
Im sad now....
Em - *Hugs*
I completely agree with you! And also,
if you don't type properly, there is a magical thing called -
SPELL CHECKER.
You're bloody lucky Em was the one that said it and it wasn't me. I'd have been much more of a b*tch about it, no doubt about it.
So, Brave, sweetheart, listen to Em and no-one argue because most people agree with her and I know that!
Mara, you did? XD
*teleports away* *bashes into Jubi*
Hi Jubi! I'm running away from an evil donkey. Can you help me hide?
OK guys i really do NOT know what im doing
Susan isn't evil, he's just...having a bad day!
Wow Mara that's awesome!!! What did you write?
Luci we changed the subject its awwwkward
But Stilt is like a little brother to me!
*Hugs Brave*
It's okay! You'll learn! We'll teach you!
*pats Brave in the back*
It's fine :P I used to use text speak too until I realized that they didn't do that here... heh
Death?
Fabi - Yup. We were all running away from Mevolent. It was also my dream last night.
Funny stuff... *laughs uncontrollably*
Well let's just take the sentence you typed out
Your sentence:
"OK guys i really do NOT know what im doing"
How I would have typed it...
"Ok guys, I really do NOT know what I'm doing,"
Can I make it anymore clearer...
Do you want to be my BFF?
I'M ETERNALLY GLAD WE HAVE TWO WEEKS FOR THE HUNGER GAMES THING.
IF I'M GONNA WRITE RUBBISH, AT LEAST I'LL GET TO FINISH MY RUBBISH . . .
Hi people!
Msd, wbd, csgd. Reading Unravelling. I should really be writing, yes, I know.
Clearer is not a word Melody.
Yo?
*Speaks loudly*
HOW IS EVERYONE?
Hi Aretha! *squeezehugs* Can I give you a nickname? Like... Ari! If you like...?
I don't care, sweetheart. You're still giving us pointless excuses.
Also, I'm busy doing work for school. That's why I'm distant. Unlike you, most of us have patience.
ha! I would have wrote: "Can i make it any more clear?"
MARA OHMYGOSH I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING FUN. WE SHOULD ALL COLLABORATE ON A STORY WHERE WE FIGHT MEVOLENT TOGETHER!!!!! *is really tired and hyper at the same time. Result is vary random. Ignore me if you want...*
Okay!
*Hugs new BFF*
How are you?
Brave - You did not just...
B-J - SUSAN TRIED TO EAT MY HEAD.
There. Boom. Burn back.
Clearer is a word. If it wasn't, my spell correct would be telling me.
Brave, my dear, when you're flawless you can pick on others. 'Til then, however, don't pick my friends up before they fall!
Sure you can give me a nickname! *tacklehug*
Tes, can some of us fight WITH Melevolent?
I'm not taking either side in this grammar argument. I don't feel like my spelling and grammar are good enough for me to criticize others. I may still be around, or I may not.
ARETHA YES YES YES! *squeals* *jumps up and down* THAT'D BE LEGEND! :D
Aretha- I want in on that...
Mara- And he shall be severely told off.
Stiltskin- I am not mad at you or anyone, nor an I attempting to choose sides- but you could start by capitalizing "I"
YAWY
That would be fun, Aretha!
Brave, I can't believe you just did that. And clearer is a word. Autocorrect and my dictonary said so.
Though I will say this:
Clearer is a word.
Did YOU just correct me Brave?
Get your facts right before you think you have a ground to stand on you little upstart!
Clearer is a word, it's a adjective.
Can be used in any sentence along with it's other adjective forms of 'more clear' or 'clearly'
I took higher level English, I got a C3 in higher level English and my book is going to be published this year.
Where's your ground that gives you the right to correct me Stiltskin?!
So how do we go about making the tale?
*rides around on a blue cow*
I think, I agree with Fabi. You realise I've still been watching this entire argument? Anyway, I have to go now...
Byebye *waves*
*Sheilds Brave*
I know from experience things on text can hurt! They might sound meaningless or not insulting, but they are!
We all have flaws! Mine are being mean to my family when I try to be nice. WE ALL HAVE FLAWS!
Brave's flaws are his English and grammar. What are we without our flaws?
Wait, sorry, what do you want in on- my nickname or a fight with Mevolent? And if we did write it- you could fight on whatever side you want!
We could start a blog for it, and take turns posting.
I understand now. It was a simple typo. Everybody makes typo's. It is okay. Sorry if i offended you. Just spur of the moment.
B-J - I should hope so. *huffs*
...And can we not have a fight here? I don't like fights...
Bye Ieni!
*Leaves popcorn so everyone can watch the argument*
Yeah, I'm being immature about this, but hey.
We could each write one chapter of it, and go in circles like that.
Just going to point this little thing out - I'm got one of the best English Literature results in the whole of the country last year. When it comes to English, I'm usually aware when someone is wrong.
I've a natural flair for languages - including English. I know it's difficult for others, however that means nothing when people do not try.
Bye Ieni! *tacklesqueezehugs*
*steals popcorn*
*steals popcorn*
AHHHHH! ahhhhh! Ok first of all im good at English death. second of all im good at grammar. I won an award. Third of all i just wasnt used to using it on the internet.
BYE IENI
Circles sound good.
Argument over! Everyone's friends. Whats this about Mevolent?
