With Desolation only a few days away, I am still hard at work on the third and final Demon Road book.
From the beginning, I wanted these books to be as streamlined as possible — I wanted them short and punchy. Now, I completely failed with Demon Road, as it was a pretty big book, and only got slightly better with Desolation, which is shorter, but it looks like I'm finally getting the hang of this with Book 3, which will hopefully be the perfect length.
And the title?

Congratulations! :-)
Hey, Eve, I just noticed your profile picture and if that's you, then you're super cute :)
Hmmmmmmmm
To cheat at my homework or to not cheat at my homework
*debates*
It is d stupid timewasting homework so cheating is probably the right thing to do, but I want to do it. Not that much but I want to do it a little bit.
Hmmm
To cheat or not to cheat, that is the question.
@Lantern: Yes . . .
Whether 'is nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of time-wasting homework...
It's not
Or to take cheats against a sea of pages
And by opposing end them
*smiles*
@Star: You could do pat of it and cheat on part of it? And then both desires are satisfied
@Kes: I did consider doing that, but it doesn't actually take much more tine/effort to not cheat so I've just decided to do it.

(Glee's cover of push it by salt n peppa makes me uncomfortable )
(CHAMPAGNE POURING OVER US)
Does anyone know a good synonym for taboo? I'm writing an essay about the issues of race in Cuba and talking about how, since Castro declared racism "over" it's, well, taboo to talk about it. But I've already used the word twice in this paragraph, so...
@Kes: No, but you could try thesaurus.com
(ALL MY FRIENDS WE'RE GLORIOUS)
@Star: I did, it was pretty much useless. But I rephrased and I think I've gotten it to work.
@Kes: :) Good.
(TONIGHT WE ARE VICTORIOUS)
(All the action happens when I disappear *cries*)
Ah yes, so much action
Deleted comment?
(Also, that sounded meaner than I meant it to.)
When on t'internet, it is rather hard to use joking sarcasm without it sounding similar to mocking sarcasm. :/
Yeah.
Plus, it's been so long since I've been on that I have to readjust my typing style; I'm not used to talking to more than one person at a time or using emoticons anymore.
'S interesting.
(KYOYA YOU DOUCHE YOU TREATED ERIKA BADLY THINKING AHE WOULDNT LEAVE BUT SHE DID YOU ARSEHOLE)
@Kes: *nods* I know what you mean. :)
(AWH THEY KISSED!!!!)
@Chloe: Is that the same couple you're talking about?
(Yup *.^ ab anime called wolf girl and black prince)
@Chloe: *nods*
(It's so weird ... He's pretending to be her boyfriend but she has to be like a dog to him... He's a real sadist
But he gets jealous when this other guy like her and then kisses her and it is Awwww !)
*nods*
TEST PROPAGANDA BEST PROPAGANDA
Hi!
https://youtu.be/fE3UL2jdTJM
*waves at Chloe, Star, Kessie, and the lurkers*
@Chloe That sounds all kinds of messed up.
*waves at Tia*
*nods*
*xe agrees with him*
@Star: Hey, have you read Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians series?
Really like this song
https://youtu.be/DN5ulyVdW44
How are you guys doing today?
(Yeah.. Messed up
*curls up *)
(I think I'm going for a few days
Goodbye)
Chloe? :/
@Chloe: *looks concerned* Okay . . .
...Chloe?
Um
See you later, Chloe.
Mmm, time to watch Star Wars ep 7?
Anybody still on?
Baby bunny
I'm still here! Technically supposed to be doing Driver's Ed, but...
Hey Adra!
Hello!
There was a baby bunny
So sweet
Oh my gosh nice! Where?
In the back yard of Gene's house. I'm sure he felt the energy from all the crystals...
That's super cool :)
:)
What else is going on with you?
Um
Not a lot
I have been working off my extra fat... I've dropped about 8, so that's cool
:/
I'm happy for you, as long as you're doing it healthily. Although I hope you know that you're beautiful and smart and incredible without losing anything.
*Will hug Kessie gently*
*hugs Adra gently back*
😐😐😐😑
Mom is taking me out to eat
No
No food mom
Half of my burger is gone
Please? I'm trying not to encourage this, but you just said you'd lost about eight pounds. Surely you can reward yourself with one full meal? Your body knows how to regulate itself, you're not going to gain anything permanent from eating healthily for one night.
And even if you did, Adra, you deserve to eat. Even if you don't believe it, you deserve to eat no matter how much you weigh or what you look like. You would never let any of us do this to ourselves, so why are you doing it to yourself?
If by 'gone' you mean you ate it, I'm so so proud of you.
Sorry for disappearing earlier. Parents. They've wasted my entire evening. Yay.
Good night!
Noelle, seriously, malnutrition is bad when your body is growing. An evening meal at 5 won't kill you. So please try to eat enough.
*Doesnt know why she does it* *I'm sorry* *But it's just* *Its really hard*
*Thank you though, I'm smiling*
*Has eaten most of her burger and is really full now*
Hello again Tia! You good?
*hugs Adra tightly*
I'm proud of you, and you're going to be okay.
*It's seven, actually*
*nods*
*ok*
*Her medicine doesn't really help with the body image*
*Thats a story for another day
*was going to sleep*
*will disappear soon*
@Kes No. I feel pretty upset. So I'm going to go to sleep.
@Noelle It is now.
Good night
Okay, Tia. I hope you feel better *hugs*
Good night...
*Noelle may go for a run later*
Dude, if it's dark out, be safe
*has soccer in like fifteen minutes*
*ugh*
It isn't dark out XD its Light! I can see clearly!
*Good luck*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Where do you live, btw? For some reason I feel like it's Kentucky but. I also don't think that's right
Its same timezone as me so yeah it'd be light, Noelle is at least staying fit
Yeah! It's northern Kentucky. 15 minutes from Cincinnati, 500 feet from the border to Ohio.
But I'm basically in Ohio most of the time
Ok
Noelle isn't fit
Noelle saw she is at 134, which isn't too bad from the upper 132 this morning
Noelle is ok and will not run
Adra is radical and totally tubular and Kes loves her/is proud of her
Just sayin'
Totally tubular?
:)
You sound like an 80s Blonde shaggy-haired, ripped/tan Hawaiian-shorts Californian surfer.
Omg yes
*sigh*
Supernatural no kill todah
ugh its so cold in Australia
*shivers*
*lives in the northern half of the world*
Well, it's still cool where I live, but it's spring time up here so. :P
*finds it interesting and strange how different it must be growing up in months that are in different seasons*
Like, so many Christmas songs(pretty much all the famous ones really) are set in winter, but it'd be summer down south. And thinking about snow in the middle of July or something is hard to believe for people in the north.
I sometimes think about that. Does that make me strange?
*shrugs*
Then there's everyone who lives near the equator where it's pretty much summer all the time. No need to buy coats or jackets, and everyday is usually either hot or humid.
Or both.
I dunno how I feel about that, Lav. I mean no springtime on the equator
*nods*
Yeah, true. Didn't think of that one...
(*sings the chicken song *)

(This is so beautiful... To me anyways)
(*want to write book*
*has no decent ideas*)
You could write a book about how absolutely incredible I am
(I've got so many ideas..)
(Hey Kes and no one could sum up how awesome you are in a book silly)
(@chloe swap xD)
Hey!
Well, duh. That's why you would make it a trilogy.
@Chloe: Ooh! Ideas! Share!
(They all come to me in dreams xD )
(It'll take a long time xD )
@Chloe: You share one, I'll share one?
(@Chloe I never remember my dreams, and when I do they're defo not book worthy)
(Wellll... The other night I had a dream
I woke up to my village on fire
The arsonists were these shadow figures(demons ) and then I got kidnapped by a man in a floating carriage
There were other people there
This guy summons those things and seems horrible, but he's just socially inept
He trains me and the other people to summon these demons )
(You have imaginative dreams!)
Yeah . . . my dreams, when I can remember them, aren't usually all that imaginative. :)
Ooooh....that's pretty cool!
Alright: there's a young girl who has had an imaginary friend for as long as she can remember. She falls in love with the friend, but it turns out that she's not imaginary - she's trapped in between worlds and needs to be rescued.
Hey Star!
You're, like, super creative though
@Kes: Lol NO.
And I had a story idea once that was kinda the opposite of that. Well not exactly the opposite by similar to what the opposite would be.
^but
Hello.
(Hmmmm.. a book watching a couple who're in love, but from the pov of the people/animals around them..
no
Hey kas)
Hey, Jai!
*frowns*
I am 92% sure somebody in my school was called Jai Jai.
Hmmpf
How are you, Jai?
*waves at Star and Chloe and Kes and lurkers*
I'm.. fine.
You?
(Sorry I poofe
Did anyone watch that link I put up?)
I'm okay, Jai.
Gonna go distant. The light bulb died -_-
@Chloe No, not yet
(Okay ^.^)

(*cries*)
helluh.
*noelle is having a bad day today*
:/
*Was bad and had free ice cream*
*just*
*is feeling really lumpy today*
*and now has just had some soup and bread*
*God dammit*
*Will go workout now so will be distant
It was quite a long day... We have May Crowning tomorrow. I will say to the subject, that I am wearing my eighth grade graduation dress- and it fits better now than it did then. Which means that it's akin to a potato sack on me
It's really quiet
Did I drove everyone away?
We had our Mary court crowning today
And I doubt it.
Because Gemma and Kieron and Fera used to be on a lot at this time but they haven't been on recently and most other people are sleeping or doing other stuff.
I am fairly certain it's not you :))
*should be doing homework*
*:/*
*drive
Hi Dugglyn!
That is possible.. And logical.
*nod* *Is not Christian but still has to do it* *But gets a half day at school!*
Twelve days of classes before I graduate
W h a t
Hi!!
How are you doing?
*had to go to Mass for it*
*gets bored reallllyyyy easily*
Lucky that you have a half day! We just had shorter classes.
!!!
Wow!!
😭 mass at school
I'm about to sleep actually. Long, pretty rough night this morning so I am sleepy
Good luck with the homework, hon <3
IKR?
Okay :))) sleep well!!
<3
And thanks :) I actually just finished! :D
In two days, it will be may.
Lambs are in fields, hatchlings in trees.
Trees are growing leaves again, the daffodils have sprung to life.
AND YET THERE IS SNOW LAYERED ON THE GROUND.
YOU DO NOT BELONG THERE.
IT ISN'T WINTER ANYMORE.
I love snow but this is ridiculous.
DUDE YOU GUYS STILL HAVE SNOW??? WHAT?!?
I thought it'd have melted by now! :O
*GASP*
MY BIRTHDAY IS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY. WHAT. WHAT IS THIS. I'M GOING TO BE TWENTY.
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*collapses* tired . . .
(not really here)
I really hate winters and school.....
(Lol you should have seen what the sky wa doing earlier
Went to bus stop and I shit you not, one half of the sky was all sunshine and happiness, the other half was all gloomy
I even took pics to prove it)
*wants to see pics*
*if it's okay, send through email?*
*wants to cry*
We're giving away some of our outdoor cats, and they have to be in a temporary cage while we try to catch the ones we're giving...
Their cage is right next to the dog houses and there are golden retrievers and puppies and my heart is breaking cause the dogs are barking and I feel like I can hear the cat meowing. ;-;
AND SHE'S A PREGNENT MOTHER. SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO STAY IN SUCH A STRESSFUL PLACE AND I'M SERIOUSLY CRYING FOR HER RIGHT NOW. D'X
I'VE /TRIED/ ASKING FOR A BETTER PLACE TO KEEP THEM BUT THEY SAY THAT'S THE ONLY BEST PLACE AVAILIBLE AND I'M REALLY TRYING HARD NOT TO SWEAR AT EVERYONE AND *CRIES*
*missed dinner too, cause I spent the whole evening trying to catch them*
*or rather, just being around them*
I feel like I've broken their trust and now they get scared at anyone who comes near them.
*more like dinner was put away and I didn't want to bother taking it out and heating it up again*
And I think I've lost my appetite...
*even if her stomach says otherwise*
*is ignoring her stomach*
...
:(((
Can they put a divider between them!????
THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY
*the cat's in a cage, but the dogs are on the outside in the open*
*cat can't see them, but it's too close that she can hear and probably smell them*
I KNOW AND I TRIED TELLING THEM ITS A BAD PLACE BUT NO ONE IS FLIPPING LISTENING.
I mean, I TOLD the only aunt who speak English to think about a pregnant HUMAN woman and how stressful SHE must feel being in a place that's INSTINCTIVELY dangerous to her and how scared she must be, but SHE DOESN'T LISTEN. DX
*by open, she means in a bigger cage where the dogs and their pups have lots of space to move around in*
*except one, who's on a leash outside the cage*
*the cat can probably see that one*
:(
*mutters darkly*
A butterfly net! A fricking butterfly net!
WE ARE NOT CATCHING THEM LIKE BUGS!
*mutters swears*
Can't believe she'd even think that! I lost their trust once, I'm never doing that again. If they want to catch the cats that desperately, DO IT YOURSELF!
*curses*
*kicks a tree and storms off*
:-(
(Sorry, I took them on my phone and I can't put them on my computer
Got new glasses!!!)
(*changes pic*)
Steal the cats
(Hey ^.^)
(*sits alone*)
I'm like really stressed so I just want to sit and exist for a moment but I can't even do that coz I'm just like stressing about how I should be revising.
Whyyyy.
(*hugs star*)
Hi!
Starry.... *offers hugs*
(Kassy!)
I'm sorry- I had May Crowning
(That's okay ^.^ how are you?)
I could be better. I could be definitely better.
(I'm sorry to hear that.. Want to speak about it?)
Hello, Chloe and Noelle.
(Hola!)
I would, but I probably ought not to here.
Hey
(Do you want to email?)
Okay
(Thanking you )
Alright, I sent it
(Thank you ^.^)
(Ive replied )
So what are you up to?
(I'm watching something called take me out
Thirty single ladies have a buzzer, then a guy comes down the lift and they watch a video of his life and then he does something, if he has a talent
The women press their buzzer if they aren't interested
At the end, the man presses the buzzer of the remaining ladies until two are left
He then asks them a question
Then he chooses the best
Then they go on a date on an exotic island to see if they'll see eachother again
Up to much?)
Dating game shows. I couldn't do that
I'm eating :(
(I just watch it because the host is funny ^.^
Aw, don't be sad about that D: )
I see...well I'm glad you enjoy it
(Thank uou
The problem is that I should be revising :-/
I get into a panicked state when revising
And then I get panicky when I realise exams are soon )
:( I'm sorry!
Giant (harmless) scary winged insect in my room.
It is too high up to reach, so I let it be for the night.
I wake up frequently to check its location.
The next day, I leave the door open and darken the room in the hope that it will find a light and leave.
That night, it is nowhere to be seen.
I am relieved.
In the extreme early morning, I decide to go to bed, looking forward to the uninterrupted slumber I can enjoy now.
Then, I see it.
It has not left.
It is moving a lot, as though it might charge at me.
I leave and come back with a chair and an effective insect spray.
I climb to the high ceiling and spray, willing the poison to reach this damned fly.
It does.
The insect drunkenly hovers to a much more reachable place.
I slam a tissue down on it and through it in the bin.
I put everything away, relieved.
I come back into my room.
IT IS ALIVE.
It is crawling, having somehow escaped from the fate I had forced upon it.
I slam the tissue down once more.
I crush the ball of paper with all my might.
IT IS ALIVE STILL.
I crush it again.
ALIVE.
Again.
ALIVE.
AGAIN.
Until finally I resign to the probability that this bug is immortal, and must be left elsewhere.
I put it in the kitchen bin and close the lid.
Once again, I am going to sleep at a highly unreasonable hour.
But at least I can sleep easy.
(Don't worry about it
It's just.. Starting revision Is the hardest
Like, I have to hit certain requirements to get into uni so I have that motivation
My friend had an unconditional offer, so she's in no matter what grades sge gets )
(I hate bugs *shudders*
I'm sorry, I try to stick to the 'ye harm none, do as ye will'
But if there's a spider I will kill it )
@Eve: That poor insect. :(
@Chloe: :( *nods* Starting revision is the hardest for me too . . .
Oh bloody 'ell.
D: that poor thing...
Insects can't help the way they look!
(I think people fear things due to the discrepancy theory
Apparently people fear things most when they look different from the human form)
@Chloe: Makes sense.
(Aye ^.^)
(My god
I was upstairs and I heard my brothers friend say: your sister is gay! Because of the hair!
Boys .. *sighs* and then he went to the back of my garden and peed)
@Chloe: :(
(I hate it when people use gay as an insult
I also hate it when people assume people are gay or straight by the way they look
I have had a few little kids thinking I'm a dude, but that's understandable because I have short hair and they are too young to understand that girls can have short hair too)
*hugs*
I hate it when people use it as an insult.
I also hate when people use the word "retarded". In general. Even though when used properly, it still sounds crude
(*hugs* I know
I internally shudder when I hear that word
My brother and his friends are at that age where they fling these insults around to appear 'big and hard' without realising the effect it can have on people)
Hey!
I...literally cut my hair off so that people would stop reading me as female and straight lmao. It didn't work.
Yours is super cute though, Chloe. Like, damn. Hashtag goals.
(Hey Kessie *.^
I don't think I've seen what you look like )
(Nawwww thanks xD )
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had a picture of myself on here? I've got IG though.
But basically I've got, like, really short, really curly hair.
(Awwweww! I had.. Still have IG but my phone doesn't have enough storage to hold the app)
(Holy vrap! I just said something to my mum and sounds really welshy saying it xD )
That sucks :/
Here, I'll send you an old picture
(Thank you ^.^)
Do you not normally sound Welsh?
(Well I do have a bit of an accent, but it's normally not that welshy... Not that obvious
But I do have moments when I sound quite welshy)
Oh okay! Do you speak Welsh at all?
(I know basic stuff
I had an A* in my Welsh exam but I know so little xD )
I feel that, I'm like that with Spanish :3
(Awww xD
The most complicated thing I can do in Welsh is sing the welsh national anthem)
I mean, that's actually super impressive
(Thanks
I'd like to speak Spanish
I did it when I was like... Ten
But I can't speak it now)
Languages are hard :/
I want to be multilingual but, like, I don't really have the time to put in the effort it needs. I have a friend who taught/is teaching themself Latin and Greek and also learning French at school, which is, like. Dude.
