Progress

50267 words written... and Valkyrie and Skulduggery are barely in it.

This doesn't mean, of course, that they won't be taking their usual starring roles in Book 8. Of course they will. But I've had to approach this one in a slightly different way than normal.

Because this book is about, essentially, total war, I've had to think long and hard about how the different sides would fight— such as what tactics they would use in both the short and long term. It means I can't chop and change sequences like I usually would. If they're written, then they've been written for a very specific reason, and I can't mess about with that. So I figured the best way to write about these military actions is to write them FIRST. Write the skirmishes and the battles and the politics and the arguments, and get it all down on the page. Then, once I have the military aspect taken care of, I go back and write my usual Skul & Val stuff around and on top of it all.

It's an interesting way of working, to willingly ignore your main characters for large chunks of writing time. I sincerely hope it works...

Oh, and sometime in February I shall announce the title. I've had this title in mind for YEARS. Some of the early alternatives were:

Skulduggery Pleasant: The Billingsworth Continuum.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Behind Gold Eyes.

Skulduggery Pleasant: It's War, Baby.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Revenge of the Screaminator.

Skulduggery Pleasant: When Warlocks Attack.

Skulduggery Pleasant: A Very Nice Picnic.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Brain-Puncher.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Gut-Eater.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulduggery Goes Camping.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Things Get Nasty.

Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna Die.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Readers Gonna Cry.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Horace.


And amazingly, the actual title is better than ANY of those! I know, right?

Luciana said...

Would you guys mind reading a little thing I wrote AGGGGGGGGGGESSSSSSSSSSSSS ago?

I don't know whether to put it into Skuttlebuggia or not...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hmm i guess Luce

Luciana said...

I flip over my pillow to the cold side, hoping to catch at least an hour of sleep before I have to send my friends off to their possible deaths. This war could never be worth as much as any one of my friends, however we need this war. We need Skuttlebuggia. We need a place of harmony and peace, and you can’t get peace without war.
I lay awake, waiting for my phone to beep that obnoxious tone to tell me it’s time for me to get up, time for us to strike. All I can think of is the deaths there may be, of how many friends I could lose. Names of friends roll through my mind, like a film, Sparky, Lynxia, Ellie, Cassidy… Memories could soon be all I have of those I hold dearest. I could lose everything…
“Hey Jordan,” I jump out of my bed, grabbing the flip-knife from under my pillow, ready to attack, only to realise that the man who’s is speaking to me is my best friend and the only person I can always trust. Zacharia. I should have recognised him from his cute accent, the one that is unique to him and him alone.
“You’re the only one that still uses my given name, you know…” I slowly put away my knife, returning it to its place under my pillow. I turn to him, hoping that I can hold back the tears whilst he’s around; he’s the only person I can have real feelings around. Most other people see me to be a bit of a sociopath, at least in battle.
“Because I’m the only one that really knows you,” he kisses my forehead and pulls me into a hug. I rest my head against his shoulder and, for once, feel safe. “You’re going to have to lead this battle in a few hours, so I thought I’d come and check you were okay. I can’t sleep without knowing you’re alright…” I can feel him smiling and his smile is infectious; I can’t help but smile too, despite everything.
He releases me from the hug and takes my hand, leading me to my bed. I frown at him and am about to speak when he kisses me, once, on the lips. “You’ll need your sleep. I’ll stay here if you want me to, okay? I don’t want to lose you, so you’ll need to be ready for anything.”
“What about you?” I ask, knowing this thought had not once crossed his mind. He’s always been the most selfless person I’ve ever known. “How about you stay here tonight? We’re going to have to leave very soon, anyway…” I smile.
“If my last moments of peace are spent with you, then I don’t care if I die tomorrow.”
I want to say it’s possible, but I know that’d kill me. It’d be accepting the possibility of losing my best friend and love, and I am not prepared to do that. I climb back into bed and allow him to climb in next to me. His warmth rids all thoughts of loneliness from my mind and soon, I find myself to have drifted off to sleep in his arms, the only place where I am safe.

So, should I keep it in the Skuttlebuggia fic or not?

I know exactly where it would go, but I'm not sure how to get to that place... Hmmm...

LET ME SING A SONG THAT I LOVE. *nods*

Irresistible
By One Direction


[Harry:]
Don't try to make me stay
Or ask if I'm okay
I don't have the answer
Don't make me stay the night
Or ask if I'm alright
I don't have the answer.

[Liam:]
Heartache doesn't last forever
I'll say I'm fine
Midnight ain't no time for laughing
When you say goodbye.
It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible.

[Niall:]
I've tried to ask myself
Should I see someone else?
I wish I knew the answer.

[Harry:]
But I know, if I go now, if I leave
Then I'm on my own tonight
I'll never know the answer.

[Liam:]
Midnight doesn't last forever
Dark turns to light
Heartache flips my world around
I'm falling down, down, down,
That's why.

I find your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible
(Irresistible)
Irresistible
(Irresistible)
Irresistible
(Irresistible)
Irresistible
(Irresistible).

It's in your lips and in your kiss
It's in your touch and your fingertips
And it's in all the things and other things
That make you who you are and your eyes irresistible.

It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Irresistible.

Not all publishers have the same opinion.

And nobody wanted to publish The Wizard of Oz the author had to pay half the cost of publishing it, and that was the one publisher that even considered it! Then he did, and it became a classic. [Nods]

Well, I came home and did homework for two hours straight, then my sister syarted Skyping her friends just when I needed the laptop so I took the oppoetunity to come here. :)

We had these people who will be the Further Maths teachers come into our class today and they showed us a bit what Further Maths will be like if we take it . . . It's going to be offered as an iGCSE this year.

It was actually *coughs* kinda fun *coughs*.

Only the first no is a no. Ah, ne'mind.) NORMAL MATHS IS GENERALLY EASY. I HAVEN'T DONE LIKE ANY FURTHER MATHS, BUT WE DID ALGEBRAIC PROOF TODAY, AND THAT WAS HARD, EXCEPT I LIKED IT. I THINK IT APPEALED TO MY COMPETITIVITY.

No it's not like no' at all. *swowla*

It's like nononono. Actually, it depends which variety of my no no no no no voice I used.

Algebra is the easiest part of it!

If you struggle with algebra, I recommend you stick to single math.

I'm doing double math and double Enlish and, even I, get confused every now and again...

Maths is basically built upon algebea.

The more math you do, the less numbers are used. You use letters more often, esopecially greek ones...

And instead of x's, you go on to use .'s

And now that im about to start my highers I have to choose 6 of them...yay?

Star Inkbright said...

I got sidetracked halfway through the lesaon trying to explain how my brain worked to the girl next to me.

Roughly how Star adds up:

14 + 27 = ?

14 = 1t (my tens are btw very dark blue. I think I may have mild synesthesia. Also they aren't in algebra form, but it's near enough) + °°°° (they aren't dots in my brain, they're more cubes)

27 = 2t + °°°°°°°

And then when adding up, I do it in a column. 27:

°
°
°
°
°
°
°
2t

Then I add the t from the fourteen to the other ts.

°
°
°
°
°
°
°
3t

And then I slot the 4 on top.

°
-
°
°
°
°
°
°
°
°
°
°
3t

And the line is after ten dots, chopping the 1 off. The other dots then form a t.

°
4t

And then I swing them out of my column into normal form. 41.

This all takes less than a second, obviously.

I thought of it coz it was irritating me how I could prove myself right but only in diagran, not words. How could I point out that there was a blank space between every multiple of two, or that odd add even was odd because:

°° °° °° °°

12, 34, 56, 78. Even number.

°° °° °° °¤

Odd number. Empty socket on the end where the ° should go.

So even add odd is odd because the even won't fill the empty socket, it will just add more completed sockets.

And odd add odd is even because

°° °° °° °° °¤
°° °° °° °¤

The one on the end can be chopped off the first number . . .

°° °° °° °° | °

. . . And plopped into the empty socket of the second number . . .

°° °° °° °¤ < °

. . . Filling the socket . . .

°° °° °° °°
. . . And making an even number . . .

°° °° °° °° + °° °° °° °°

. . . And plus the other now-even number makes a load of even sockets!

Anyone else think like that? :P

Robin Snowscar said...

Star - No. xD

Melica Frost said...

Sorry star, I dont think like that :(

Ah, never mind. :)

Well, in my school, being Enhlish, we oick our options in years nine.

You have to do English Maths Science RS PE IT.

Then you have three pathways. Green Pathway you pick an Applied Academic course (worth two GCSEs) and you go on a collage course. I think. Not too knowledgeable about Green or Yellow.

Then for Yellow you pick two GCSE options and an Appiled option. I think.

Then for Blue you can pick two GCSE options (they recommend a humanity and a language) and an Applied Academic thingymadooda, OR four GCSE options, they recommend one humanity and one language.

Then for Red you have four GCSE options, they recommend a humanity and a language.

Here's about what the Red and Blue Pathway Form looks like (has it right in front of me):

Option A

You guys have loads of options *grumbles*

Star Inkbright said...

We're a big school. Bigger schools equal more options, they said. :)

Robin Snowscar said...

How many people at your school?

Star Inkbright said...

*said . . .

But then, they boast. It is their job.

Eli (UlcabhƔn) Brave said...

Yahola!

Melica Frost said...

Robin...to whom is that question directed?

Robin Snowscar said...

Star, but you can answer also, Mel.

Melica Frost said...

Ooohhh yay!!!!

On average 1500 pupils attend my high school :P

Star Inkbright said...

Dunno. 330 in our year group, however. So 990 in KS3 and 1650 in KS3 and KS4. Plus we have a Sixth Form with our school. Do they count?

Star Inkbright said...

Eli (UlcabhƔn) Brave said...

Its a country school

Star Inkbright said...

*nods*

That makes sense.

Lynxia has like 400. O_O

Melica Frost said...

Yeah, but the one thing I hate about my school is the 1st and 2nd years :L they are all midgits that believe they are above society and when I say midgits - my 2yr old little cousin is nearly the same size as some of them . And its not because my little cousins tall or anything :) and because in scotland specifically our culture if you step out of line, someone either pushes you (its not hard) or punches you in the face. For example -
I was standing at the vending machines, waiting to get a samich as you do and a 3ft dwarf storms up, tries to push his way to the front and infront of me, so when I pushed him away (i wanst having a good day) he swore at me and tried to push me back, obviously i didnt move and yeah from behind me my brothers friend tapped on his shoulder and punched him. My head teacher didnt even look twice because well thats the rules of our highschool (its seems harsh but it really isnt)



:D

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia is a high school. When we were a PRIMARY school we had like 400. O_O

We were a big primary. Half the class didn't even live in our village. Coz our school had five outstandings in a row, meaning they were all "oh we're so great." :/

We're also a big village.

My friend said there are 14 people from her primary in our year . . .

Star Inkbright said...

If someone punched someone in the face in thr dinner queue in our school, they'd probably be excluded or at least get a straight S4 . . .

And plus my dad always says to me "god gave us elbows for a reason" so basically you shove your elbow in their ribs if they are impolite or try to push past...
