"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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 4871 Newer› Newest»hey guys im back!asda was epic as usuall :)
Luci, if I did it... I'm really sorry! *hugs Luci*
*shoots music*
L., I'm sorry, I guess.
Don't sell your books. And I don't think anyone could POSSIBLY ship stranger ships. And of COURSE you can still ded.
isn't 24601 jean valjean's number thingy?
And, L.? You're the best at being you. Because you're YOU!
KESSIE THAT WAS MY STEPFATHER.
*whispers* Good shot.
Didn't you ALREADY drown your stepfather?
Luci, remember those emails. Just do. I look over them when I'm having a bad day and, honestly, they make me feel so much better :) *hugs*
wait... what???
I'm confused.
me too...
and now i must brb again... soo
bbs!!
*shrugs* Apparently that was the Taoiseach.
No, that;s not true.
You don't understand the temptation to leave the fandom forever, it's rare anyone even notices I'm here. Same with the Facebook page and Twitter and chats. I could disappear and I doubt anyone would even notice. It'd probably be better for you all.
I mean, I know plenty of people that are better than me at everything I'm best at. I'm easy to replace, not that you'd want anyone like me in your lives...
I'm a stupid little brat and I'm not worth a second more of your time..
Luci.
Email.
Now.
Luciana. Don't say that. Seriously. We would definitely notice if you left, and everyone would miss you.
And you're not a stupid little brat.
24601 is the name the main character from Les Miserables he had in prison
L., shush. Do you know what would happen if you left the fandom? It would be chaos. EVERYONE would notice, and everyone would care.
You're not replaceable. No one is replaceable. Everyone is perfect and unique and special, and despite what you may think, you are too.
And you're not stupid, nor are you a brat. You're a friend. And you are most DEFINITELY worth our time.
I'd probably start crying. No, not probably. Definitely. I've got an ache in my heart just thinking about it.
I'd cry like hell and look at Derek: dont lose hope
LUCI SERIOUSLY DONT SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!
I'm back BTW... ^^
Luce calm down...
It's the first day back to school for a lot of people so they are busy and tired and stuff...
Plus if you've noticed that people are getting better with certain things is because that they have learned from the best which is you.
You're part of a fandom, sometimes you can never stick out because we are all one in the same for our love for the one thing. That's just the way it goes, it's the same when Westlife was around, I was just another Westlifer.
And people would notice if you went, don't make drastic decisions when you are angry with something else. It's not fair on your friends.
I've got to go now...
Luci, check your email and please don't leave!
I love you all x

S'up the Nix!
*tries to dodge flame* *singes hair*
Can I just take a moment to express how much I love you people? I can't speak for everyone, but I think one of the main reasons why we all love SP so much is because we can appreciate true friendship- we've been through things and we know what it feels like to be scared and alone and even feel evil, but we all have at least one person we can count on, and we stick together. <3 If any of you ever need to talk, I'll listen. ^.^
Hi Nix!
HI JUBI!!!!!!!!!!
*Stares at Kilandra who suddenly starts laughing so hard that she falls off Oreo*

Just spanish, it's an extra course for high school credit
It boggles the mind.
Does you school have a spanish class- like, not a digital one? It's really cool you're taking that course- I'd love to learn a new language online! Sadly, I have neither the time nor the means.
OH MY GOD, I JUST READ THE NEW BATTLE FOR BLOGLAND CHAPTER.
MIST, YOU ARE EVIL.
Wait, do you guys write fics about Blogland?

*wanders in*
I can only be here for ten or so minutes
Where do you guys post these? On fanfiction.net, or on your own blogs...? Sorry if I seem nosy- I just think all of this is really awesome!!
Hey Robin!
Boop.
Do you guys write fics all about each other? Like, do you sort of borrow each others' muses, or do you collaborate? Or just write your own backstories?
Hi Becky!
Hello? Anybody home?
OMG I hate my computer.
Back O.O
Aretha - Both. Lots do it on blog though, I know that much
Oh, ok cool. :)
EVE WHAT IS YOUR DRAW SOMETHING SUPPOSED TO BE
Hi Val.
I post them on my blog
Sometimes I collaborate, but mostly I write my own backstories and stuff
Heyo, there she goes, a little too high and a liitle too low, I think she has vertigo, must be made of Cannndddy.
Hi!
She drew a yellow thing and wrote "I speak for the trees". Do you know what that means?
Hi Nix, Flame!
I LOVE THAT SONG!
Low self-esteem and vertigo*
Hey Valkyrie! Have we met? (sorry if we have and I just don't remember- I've met so many new people in the last 24 hours!)
I don't think we have... Hello! I'm insane!
I'm insane-er!
I'm sane *nods*.
LIAR!
Talking to Nix, by the way.
My great uncle died, and he was buried yesterday.
It's been a long few days and I had today off school.
Hoping to have tomorrow off, too, but won't be allowed :/
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is it gave me an
Idea for a new story called 'The
Gatekeeper'.
I was wondering, if you were writing in a characther's POV, could you switch to descriptive writing for some chapters to describe other characther's doings and whereabouts. Would it be acceptable?
Wanna bet?!
I say your so sane, that you haven't tried to eat hardware tools yet!
I'm sane-er.
HEY EVERYONEEEE
I have tried to eat them!
I bet you're so sane, you haven't tried to have a shopping cart as a pet!
Yes Flame ^^
I'm so sane. Definitely.
Hey Jubi! *waves*
A shopping cart as a pet? Interesting.
Oh jeez... sorry Flame
My Great Uncle died a few weeks ago. I knew him well, but I didn't even get any time of school... Not even for the funeral
But I suppose I'm sick of funnerals at the moment. I've been to one too many this year,
And Flame, for the POV thing, I switch around. If you only use the POV for the main character, and just third person (or whatever it's called) for others, it can give someone an insight on other characters but at the same time not divert the main attention away from the main character. In my opinion, at least
ROBIN!! VAL!!
hi...
I AM THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY
when I've had coffe..
Hi!!! I'm Aretha (obviously) and I am so not sane! I'm an adept- I manipulate blood, and I'm an assasin for the American Sanctuary.
Ha, you'd be wrong there Val
I bet your so sane you haven't tried to dance in a movie theater
my power can literally turn people insane
I'm normal. *nods* I am.
I've never been to a funeral *muses*
I havent been to a funeral either....
I guess thats a good thing...
Nix, she tried to keep a trolley as a pet, she out did you on the dancing in odd places ^^
Who else hasn't been to a funeral Jubi?
a trolley as a PET?!?!?!
*backs away slowly*
Manipulate blood? That's one hell of a cool power!
Really?
Even when one was kicked out, and snuck back in just to dance some more?
Damn fines
ITS LIKE THAT BLOOD BENDING IN AVATAR!!! and I'm NOT talking about the one with those blue people... xP
Agreed. Manipulating blood is inventive to say the least.
I did dance in a movie theatre! And then I, y'know, tripped on my own feet, but whatever.
Yeah, I think so Nix.
Well, since (and I'm being serious here) my neighbour kept a shopping trolley as a pet several times in the last few years, I think it's a little more normal here
Well, it wasn't so much as a pet as a friend of his
Hiya
Who he kicked repeatedly
WIIIIIIIIIILSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
AAHH NO NO WILSON
*cowers in corner*
Oh, thanks, guys! It's not exactly like bloodbending, though maybe when I get better at it... For now, I can drain oxygen from red blood cells, manipulate platelets to create clots, and force white blood cells to attack themselves the same way they would attack a foreign contaminant. It's all pretty... Biological... But still fun and useful as an assasin. I'm going to poof now- be back in, maybe, an hour?
OOHH cool :D
I am back. After much longer that I thought, but whatever.
MIST, I HATE YOU! THAT WAS...THAT WAS CRUEL!
Really awesome that. *nods*
*pats Zaf on the head*
Kessie! What happened? D:
KESSIE!!!! hi...
what happened?
The newest BFB chapter...
Mist wrote a chapter Kes doesn't agree with
Hi Robin! Hi Jubi! Hi Nix! Hi everyone else!
*raises eyebrow* I haven't seen it yet.
*goes to look*
Battle for Blogland...
D:
I only got time off because i was so tired, Nix.
Nix, I agree with it, and it was really good, but he's so MEAN. Just how he ended it...
HI Flame!
I was meant to go see the Hobbit, today.
But then my mum decided to go to the pub with her cousins who are my great uncle's kids..
If you get me.
My nanny and grandad and two of my great aunts are go as well.
They're still in the pub.
That sounds like...fun.
Is someone going to ded or shall i?
Oh my God. O.O XD
Hey, Andra!
I WIL!!!!!
It's Nix's ded.
well where is he then?
Nix got it
NIX I CAN DED IF YOU DONT WANNA!!!
No, it's my ded
*laughs*
DED TO SPPB!!
Hey Kessie!
Either way I would like to acknowledge my AWESOME Dad for getting me an AWESOME Dalek necklace!
DALEK NECKLACE?!?!?!?!?!? *steals*
Did I mention it is AWESOME?
^^ See Nix's ded *grins*
You don't have to.. :P
