Woes and Joys

Oooooooh your Golden God is not feeling well.

Your Golden God is SICK, Minions. I'm not used to being sick. I NEVER get sick. And yet, here I am, sick and feeling miserable...

So why am I posting, you ask? Am I looking for sympathy? Pffft. I need NOT your sympathy. Sympathy is for the WEAK. I post, not to share my woes, but to share my joys.

Book 6 is finished.

I have emailed it to my editor and agent, and it is currently printing out for Laura, and I now have a few days to recover from my illness before I read back over it and spot where it can be improved. At the moment, it's a long one, about 10,000 words longer than Mortal Coil. Whether it'll keep that word count after the rewrite, I don't know.

But it's done.

Jules Um, can Gods even GET sick?! It's probably just some Godly fever that we underly mortals cannot comprehend to his greatness...
Can't wait for book six!!! Sooo excited! I already have my Skulduggery Pleasant halloween costumed planned out!
(Halloween is the best day of the year, so of COURSE I have to prepare in advance!) ^_^

Jules Lilian: lol! I just got addicted to the series last year, naturally right AFTER Halloween, so ya, I've been planning this for a while ;)

Colliegirl: thats awesome! I'm gonna be Tanith this year, or China if I can find the right clothes. Last year one of my friends was the Necromancer from book 3, the one with the gun. Course, there are only three people in our town that read Skulduggery, :( so no one knew who we were!

Rachel Derek, I'll send you nice healing vibes if you bring Tanith back.

Seraph It's all fun and games until the golden god gets sick... (*chuckles* not!) But as soon as you said the book was finished...

COMPLETE AND UTTER SHOCK.

Me and my friends have been waiting for this moment so long... *sniffs*

Wait a minute... Once it's published, I'll have to wait ages 'till it comes out in Australia, right? ... *combusts* NOOOOOOOOOO saaaave meeeeee...

Anyway, get well soon Golden god. Our thoughts are with you ^-^

How long until it comes out in the US? and I'm STILL having trouble finding mortal coil-we had to order it from England.


message 12: by Jules (new)

message 13: by Jules (new)

Jules Lillian: Your gonna be tanith?! That's going to look sooo cool! "People who wear leathers like you should ride motorbikes. People who wear suits like him should drive Bentleys"


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)
