"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.

What you OMGing about Robin?
Oh Hi Andra by the way. I've no idea who you are. *waves*
I read BFB ^^ The end bit anywho
Uh? I don't think I've deded yet
Have I..?
What's going on?!
*steals Dalek necklace*
Robin, she's my friend from real life. Yes. Lynxia...*stops due to spoilers*
Nix, no you haven't. She was saying
See? Nix's ded, not telling them to see your ded.
Was It ninth doctor who had a partner called Rose?
yup and the tenth
Yes, and part of the Tenth's, too.
I'm in a store that sells broken glass... Cool.
Never underestimate the uses of broken glass.
Right, Val, because that's perfectly normal.
Oh, HI Robin! Umm, I'm Kilandra, you can call me Andra if you want. My discipline is that I can conjure up any type of weapon at any time. (though if i'm paniced i usually get a bannana). I have a flying Panda named Oreo and always seem to get in a fight with Jubi. And I know Kessie irl
Greeting, Sir. *grins*
Hi R,
I love Lynxx.
Hello Sir.
*Greetings
YOU START THE FIGHTS KILANDRA!
xP
lol
Greetings, Kilandra, Robin, Kestrel, and Valkyrie.
Would you like me to start another?
Okay cool, hi Andra, you can call me Robin and my powers are basically whatever I feel like they should be because I separate myself from my OC of Robin. As for the panda thing that is awesome and so are you ;D
HI SIR!
I consider Lynxia to be among my best of friends
VAL REMEMBER ROBBIE'S SONG ABOUT BROKEN GLASS?
And was she blonde?
Andra, please don't...
Hello, Jubilance.
*skimmed a few comments on last page*
Kes, that was the best dedication I have heard in a while. That's also another reason I chose Hope as my surname.
Nix and Flame, I'm sorry to hear about your uncles. And Nix, remember when Mist's grandfather(I think it was) passed? He wasn't allowed out of school to go to the funeral either.
It's not fair! Teachers get to skip school to go to funerals. They just have subs. But it's really unfair to you.
Oh, and hi.
Hi Lav! Thanks.
Yo Lavender long time no see
Hey Everyone
LAAVVENDEERR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi..
Hello, Duck!
HI DUCK!!
What's being happening
(I'm not bothered to read all the comments)
Nix, am I one of your best friends?
(Just out of curiosity and be honest)
Hi Robin. Yeah, it has been a while.
Hi Nix!
Hi Kes. You're welcome. :)
Hi Duck!
Hi everyone else who's here!
Nix, am I one of your best friends?
(Just out of curiosity and be honest)
*narrows eyes*
Random Fire Hand, are you Sath?
*narrows eyes even more*
No idea who Sath is
Hi Flame!
Flame: You, Nix, Lynxia, Robin, Star, Eve, Mist, and Sparky are all considered my best of friends. Mostly because of all we've been through together. And as Mist calls us, we're the 'old gang'. :)
Sath? *is confused*
Robin and Duck, why are you narrowing your eyes?
What about ME?
*agrees with Lavender* And Val V
*looks at Kestrel innocently* It's nothing
Well then, I have no idea who Sath is either, but it could have possibly been a typo of Scath.
But what do I know?
Duck, none of us knows you, really...
Oh! Is that where I recognize the profile pic?
(I haven't met Sath, but I've seen that pic on the blog before.)
Sir, a considerable amount, if that was not posed as a rhetorical question.
Oops. Yeah. Sorry, Val! Course you're part of the old gang!
Okay, I dedicate this to a few people only
Mist- I pretty much count you as my best friend. You've got tremendous talent, and you're an all around good person. If I can rely on anyone, it's you.
I'm insanely jealous of you're writing, and your ten times the person I'll ever be.
Lynxia- We may not have spoken in a while, and we've certainly had our ups and downs, but you're just too good a person to not want to spend time with. Everyone misses you, and we hope that you're doing alright, because we're not doing as well without you
Eve- You're always fun to talk with. We may not talk as often as we used to, or even spend as much time around each other as we used to, but you're still a great person, one of the greatest I know, and you should really start seeing yourself that way.
Has someone has this pic already?
I'm OUTRAGED!
I'LL CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY
Sarth*
Are you Sarth?
I haven't spoken to Eve in forever. Lynxx either.
Who's Sarth?
Great ded, Nix!
Flame, of course you're one of my best friends
Setting aside your insane writing skills, you're a great person.
Believe it or not, when I was new here, I used to actually kinda look up to you
I talked to Eve yesterday, I think...
Lynx's just caught up in school work.
That's why she hasn't been on.
I have indeed seen Eve recently as well.
I have to go now, dinner! Bye!
I thought she said that her laptop had broken?
Nice ded, Nix. :)
Lynxia was on before(though I know you knew that) and talking to her(just saying hi) made me feel like my old self again. I haven't felt that way since I left in July.
I always seem to miss her *smiles sadly*
Flame's been her forever xD
bye kessiee
I think we need to arrange a date like a week where all the oldies should just come one and party.
Bye Kes!
Gosh, I'm slow today...
Bye whoever's leaving ^^
GUYS the "old gang" should be in a fanfic together! You could all be in a group fighting together, like the Dead Men, or something like that! (rattles off ideas because I'm bored. Feel no need to pay attention) Oh and also I'm back! (states obvious facts)
Ah, nostalgia. Still, I find it better to live in the present.
Who counts as an oldie?
Anyone who's been here a year?
Oh darn, I almost forgot I've almost been here a year. I'm going to have to check the date to be sure of when
We have got fanfics together, several actually.
Yeah, Robin! We totally should!
Including older Bloglandians like Kal, Octa, HB, and some other chations(is that how Star spelled it?) who were here before.
Seems fair Nix.
Yes, the creative juices of many here have already covered that topic.
Yeah, have to be careful though, some of them don't get on so much anymore.
1/6/13
The day I joined
Just so I remember.
Um... everyone...
I'm sorry to just barge in and say this and there is no easy way to say it...
But Chase's heart has stopped and the doctors are trying to resuscitate him right now...
I'm sorry if that's really heavy and that but I know that he would want you all to know what's going on...
I'm sorry again...
They are still trying and um... yeah I'll keep you updated...
Yeah, mostly Mist and Lyxia write them though. And Sparky, a bit.
Speaking of Sparky, I made a poem about her just last night. You guys want to read?
(It's more like a cheer than a poem, but I'm calling it that)
Oh Em! Are you okay? *hugs*
Okay Lavender!
*is too shocked for words*
I dunno whether I'm coming or going Rob...
I just want him to stay a bit longer...
Oh my god. Emerals, I'm so so sorry. I- well. I know there really aren't any words I can give you. But for what it's worth...There are people who live and care about you. I know I'm one of them. Just... Please don't give up.
*thinking over and over in my head for Chase to be alright*
He can't just die!!! Please don't die Chase! Please!
*nods* Emerald, we're here for you okay. *hugs and hands hot chocolate*
*Emerald
OH MY GOD! EM! *hugs*
*lights a candle for Chase*
Candles were always a symbol of hope for me. *shrugs*
he's still not responding...
*hugs Em*
I'm praying for him now. Praying so hard...
I'm also praying.
I'm so sorry Emerald. That's terrible. I hope he responds, and I am so, so sorry.
I'm not praying, for I do not believe in God. But I am hoping and that is close enough.
Sev, hello.
HII SEPH
Hi guys.
Hey- praying is really just reaching out for what we believe in. Our own internal hope. So even if you don't believe in God, hoping is just as effective. It's essentially the same thing, at its core.
[Folds another paper crane]
Trying to get to 1000...
ugh dinner....
gtg
I know, Aretha. I do like to make the distinction.
Hello Fabi.
Bye Jubi
Em? You still around?
New picture!
yay
Lovely, what does everyone call you Random Fire Hand?
I think this one is even better than the last one, better graphics and stuff.
Everyone calls me Duck
I'm here...
He's still not responding...
They want to carry on but it's getting worrying too long...
A sloppy one, but hopefully it'll count anyway...
I'm superstitious about 1000 paper cranes.
*strokes Em's hair* Maybe he's just had enough.
Duck, why Duck?
Bye Jubi. Hi Sev and Fabi. Wb, Duck.
...*still praying*
I'd never even heard about Chase until yesterday- but I'll cry if he dies. I'm nearly crying now.
Im so sorry!
[begins rapidly folding another]
Duck is the best name EVER!
and Random Fire Hand take too long to type
Breathe, Aretha.
I'd just shorten it to RFH. Not good?
RFH could stand for Rolling Feather House or something so just call me Duck
Em, my mom says she hopes he responds.
I don't really know what to say, but just keep hoping. That's what I'm doing. And I'm so sorry.
Unless you truly were a nitwit you'd understand that RFH stands for Random Fire Hand. However, I will call you Duck because it makes loads more sense. *most sarcastic voice ever*
Thanks, Robin. I'll try. I have this bad habit from dancing- sometimes I forget to breathe.
Breathe. You dance, Aretha?
Is making cranes too slow...
*nods absently*
Cannot wait for the new book!!! I know it will be epic. :D
If you don't know what to blog about, you could post about the Blog Post I wrote about you:
http://beckysbarmybookblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/top-12-of-2012-5-derek-landy.html
Hope you like it. :D
xxx
I can't make paper cranes, or I would be helping you.
Oh my god, Em...
*would help Fabi making cranes if I knew how*
*is hoping as hard as I possibly can for Chase to be better*
Hey Kessie
Yeah, I dance. I was a ballerina for 11 years- I just stopped intense classes last year. I still take a class on the weekend, just for fun. Just two months ago I started ballroom dancing, and my first competition is next weekend.
Good luck Aretha ^^
*raises eyebrow at Kestrel*
Thanks. *smiles weakly*
Good luck Aretha! I can't dance at all. Well, choreography for musicals I can do okay, but anything else....
*would raise and eyebrow at Robin but is incapable of doing so*
*an
I can dance!
OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!
*grins*
*winks*
*is winked at*
*winks back to look like I know why I'm being winked at*
Hi Kes.
Em? Is... Is Chase still not responding?
Hi Lav.
Four-leaf clover...
He's gone... :'(
Doesn't pick it. Better omen to let it grow.
Oh...
Oh my god. Emerald, I am so sorry.
No. No. No.
*cries in real life*
*hugs Em*
I'm so sorry, Em!
*hugs Emerald*
I am so, so sorry. I don't know what else to say.
OH MY GOD!!! EM!! *hugs*
*hugs Em*
I'm so sorry honey.
[hugs Em]
*hugs Em tightly*
I'm so sorry, Em.
I wish I could give you a real hug.
Emerald... Is- um. Is Chase ok...?
He's gone Aretha.
I'm so, so, so sorry...
*Sighs* It's not fair is it?
When is it ever fair?
[hates to piffle at a time like this, but no choice. Bye sorry!]
Bye Fabi...
I have to go as well.
Goodbye.
Em...
Oh my God. No. I'm... So sorry...
When you're old and have lived a fulfilling life and done what you've wanted to do. Then it's fair.
Bye Kessie...
Bye leavers.
Em, talk to us.
Bye Fabi. Bye Kes.
So who gets first?
m
I'm actually crying right now. Emerald, I'm so, so sorry...
Joy... I get first....
OK so i guess it's pretty obvious who I'm gonna ded to...
Em - I don’t know how you feel, but I am here to help in anyway I can. We all are, okay?
I ded this page to Em. I'm so so so so sooo SOOO sorry! I literally don't have any words that can explain how sorry I am... *hugs again*
I also dedicate this page to all the other things that I usually ded to and SPPB
yaay... SPPB-12 points.. or something like that...
Again, I'm SOO sorry Em...I really wish that there was something that we could do..
*nods in agreement to Robin's comment*
Yeah.. I suck at deds..
Can I also add something to the ded, Jubi?
sure.. what?
Sorry guys, I'm still here...
Was just talking to the doctors and just phoning the rest of our friends... and... yeah...
Thank you everyone.
*hugs Em again*
*realising ded stands for dedication*
I know I didn't get first, but I'm still going to say what I would have if I did.
I dedicate the page to our fallen friend, Chase. Although I have not known him as long as I have Em, he was still a good friend. We will dearly miss him, and although he is not with us physically, may his spirit live within us.
We will remember you for as long as we live, Chase. I am glad to have known you.
*salutes* I gotta go see ya!
*hugs*
Bye Robin.
Bye Robin!
Sorry, I have to go too. Be back soon though. Promise!
See ya Robin
as long as it's not fletcher's blood, then it shall remain awesome. going to bed before two am is over-rated anyway. sleep is for the weak.
Bye Lav
Bye Lavender!
Good night Bethany
Don't let the beg bugs bite
Em, I don't know if you'll read this or not, but I'm saying it anyway.
I know I don't know you or Chase very well. I mean, I've spoken to you both before, but not an incredible amount. But I swear, Em, that we are all sad beyond belief for you, and we all love you more than you know.
Right now I have a huge hollow feeling in my stomach. I know I hardly knew Chase, but he was always so nice when I spoke to him. And, to be honest, this is the first time I've gotten even close to losing someone. And it really hurts.
There's really nothing I can say. I'm awful at making people feel better. But Em, I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Please keep in mind that we all love you, and I'll be praying for you and Chase.
I just- no. Chase.... I'm going to shut up now because there really aren't words. But Emerald- I know I'm a stranger, but I'm a good listener. So if you want to talk to me, I'll always be here. I'll stay up all night if you want me to. Try to stay strong, ok? That's all I'll ask- just try.
Bye Robin.
Great ish-ded Lavender.
Oh.....
Heya Eve...
Hi Eve and Val.
just read about chase. i am so sorry for your loss. i don't know either of you, but no one deserves to lose someone they love <3 you're in my thoughts and prayers
Well...
I just feel numb...
But I'm glad in a way he's finally at peace...
I also get the feeling that he knew he was much sicker then he let on, that's why everything happened so fast...
I just... Jesus I can't even cry right now...
Hi Eve, hi Bethany. Yeah... There's some truly saddening stuff going on here right now.
