10 Days And Counting...

Waiting for your book to be released is always an interesting time for a writer. But behind all the excitement and the impatience and the work, there is one question — one ever-present question — that shouts louder than any of the others.

"Will they like this one?"

Because what if they don't? What if this book is the book where they finally realise you're not a writer? Or that your best work is behind you? What if the enthusiasm you have grown accustomed to finally runs out?

It's a possibility. I started my career with Skulduggery Pleasant, a series that ran for nine books with one spin-off and one short story collection. That's how I got my readers, and my readers have a genuine love for those characters and that world. That's what I'm used to. That love and enthusiasm is now what I expect whenever I release a book.

But Demon Road is different. Demon Road is new.

It doesn't have the advantage of being part of a long-running series. It's part of a trilogy, yes, but it's the FIRST part.

There is an unwritten rule in publishing. It's not a particularly nice rule, but it's an understandable one. This unwritten rule states that your second series will not reach the heights of the first series — at least not at first. Given time, it will gather its own fans and its own readers and it might even surpass the first, but upon its release it will flounder when compared to the heights previously scaled. My publishers told me about this rule years ago. I have had a lot of time to absorb it.

And I'm okay with it.

I think Demon Road is a good book. Of course I do, I wrote it. I think it will gather its own fans. A lot of these will be Skulduggery readers. Some won't be. Regardless, it was written to stand apart, to begin a new adventure, to introduce new characters and a new world, and it will rise or fall on its own merits.

This, to me, is the essence of writing. Each new book is a brand new lie, and each new lie brings an age-old truth. If a writer is lucky, he'll get multiple opportunities to tell these lies to an audience that is willing to give him the chance. Nobody wants to read a book they don't enjoy. Everyone wants the book they're reading to be the book that changes their life forever.

I've been very lucky in the past, and I reckon I'm ready for what's to come.

(oh wait... Schools restarted right? )

Lavender Hope said...

I dedicate this page to healing. No matter what kind of pain or hurt you're in, healing takes time. But slowly, what was hurting can be healed, what was broken can be fixed. All it takes is a little time, effort, patience... And endurance. For those who don't know when the hurting will end. If you're strong enough to get through it, you'll find yourself healing eventually.

Kinda a sucky ded, but anyway.

(Hello.)

Alexandria: *she gives a blank look at Liliana* What do I do?

Liliana: You shake her hand.

Alexandria: *she nods, shaking Silente's hand* Hello.

Bethany: Hi Alexandria... Are you alright?

Alexandria: I am fine, thank you. But I am not exactly happy about the fact the gods may chase me.

Bethany: Why would they?

Isabelle: How so?

Lily: I meant the fridge... I know how an oven works you light the fire and place the pot over it?

Inky Flame said...

(Me and my friend were put in the office to do sampling

It was terrifying >.<)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Feraaaa32 said...

Kai The Immortal said...

(It's been a night and it hurts really bad if I move it a certain way... as someone who has had a broken arm for a week b4 putting a cast on, this hurts more than then... )

Feraaaa32 said...

k: oh...might wanna go to the hospital then, yeah :P

Kai The Immortal said...

(I hate hospitals though... :( can I just walk up to a and e and be like yo I think my arm might be broke can I borrow your xray machine because the doctor guy said it wasn't broke last time and rather than wasting his time if I just get an xray we'll know faster)

Feraaaa32 said...

yeah, they do like to take their time with it...

Inky Flame said...

(I had to pack samples of the new facemasks we've been making )

MY CURRENT ONES ARE GETTING A BIT KNACKED
SO EXCITED TO TRY OUT MY NEW EARPHONES!

Not so sure about the actual phone. But meh.

Inky Flame said...

Feraaaa32 said...

bye clo. i know how annoying it is to get something new and then not be able to use it :P

Star Inkbright said...

*nods at Fera :P*

Feraaaa32 said...

*nods back at star :P*

Star Inkbright said...

:) How're you?

Feraaaa32 said...

I am ok i suppose, how're you star? :) :)

Star Inkbright said...

(Soz, I went for lunch.)

Better now I've had food. :)

Feraaaa32 said...

star: good :) I am hungry as well X.X :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Star and Fera.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: You should be able to pick up a new SIM (I think they're free) and then just swap its phone number with your old one. Rather then getting a different phone altogether, that is? Newer SIM cards tend to have, like, pop-out-able-ness to fit the size you need for the phone, if that makes sense. (?) :)


*not here, probably*

Feraaaa32 said...

hey taia, kas :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: :P

:) Hey Kas!

@Taia: Yeah but like
I like the deal I'm on, which is the whole reason I got a SIM-free phone in the first place instead of a deal from EE

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Taia! *cuddles*

@Star You're in for some chop, EE is useless. They refused to change my contract number to my old PAYG number, so now I can't remember my phone number. They are useless and all they can sell is phones and accessories, making them useless as anyone can buy those things online.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

They're useless, I tell you!

Star Inkbright said...

@Kas: Okay.
*is with O2*

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Ah, yeah. :/ Not sure about this, but I thought it was possible to buy a blank SIM, for that reason?
I dunno. You could probably ask in-store?

Hey Fera. :)

Feraaaa32 said...

hey taia, how're you? ^_^

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: *shrugs* Yeah.
Going back to Carphone Warehouse later today.

Mary Contrary said...

*huggles Kas back* Hullo! c:


*is also with O2, incidentally* :)

Feraaaa32 said...

*hugs taia*

Star Inkbright said...

My sister is, as of today, with EE. When she woke up she was with O2. :P

Mary Contrary said...

Fair enough, Star. :)

*thinks Carphone Warehouse staff tend to be quite helpful* :P

@Fera: Um, I'm not sure exactly. I'm okay? :)
Thanks for asking! How're you?

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: Idk, the EE staff member we talked to was better than the Carphone Warehouse staff member we talked to, today. :P

Feraaaa32 said...

taia: I am ok, *hugs?* :P

Mary Contrary said...

*oh* *thinks the staff at her local Carphone Warehouse branch tend to be quite good* :P


*hugs Fera back* :)

Feraaaa32 said...

taia: *hugs again, has to leave for a bit soon* :P

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

Alastair who may eventually see this, when you and I are both online next, can I talk to Nic? I haven't spoken to him in so long....

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*curses Chloe!!!*
*is now in a slightly burnt wooden train in a kids playground in the railway museum*)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*hugglia Taia!*
YES I GESSED CORRECT! :D
Thank you!

How is everyone?! How he's yous eyes?!

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

I'm eventually going to get my senior portrait done.

:/ I hate pictures.

Mary Contrary said...

@Dugglyn: Yeah, those are the words I meant. :P

Hey Zaf! Neat. :)

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

OWWW!!!

Senior is fun! I have all electives and then AP English.

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

I got to paint my paw print over the weekend.

Do you know how exciting that is?

Mary Contrary said...

@Dugglyn: :D
I'm alright, thanks. My eyes are sort of itchy but generally quite eye-like. :)
How're you, and your eyes?

Aw, good luck, Zaf. :/
I don't like picture taking, either. D:

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ow Zafidoldal! :((

Fain got a guinea pig! It has red eyes and white fur and she named it ghost!/- her sister named hers Frappuccino, it's brown and white.
Lua was saying they should have been named Thor and Loki but that the colors weren't white right either so I said they should get two more guinea pigs! One red and the other green! Lua then pointed out that blonde and black worked too but we decided red and green are better. If they can't find any red or green ones they could also always. Dye their fur green and red!

Mary Contrary said...

Your pawprint, Zaf..? ^^

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

@Zaf yeah I am and it's terrifying!
I know I shouldn't be scared but I still am -_-


@Taia good good! I'm kinda tired because I went to he'd at ten hoping it'd make me wake up at at least eight so I'd be on west coast us time but because I'm still kinda on east coast time I woke up at six -_-
But my eyes are slowly melting and drowning in refried beans but overall good!!_!! :D

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

My fridge's name is Honeybee

Mary Contrary said...

Aw, cute, Dugglyn. xD
I've met hamsters called Bilbo & Frodo before :P

Aw! Hope you sleep better tonight, at least. :)
Good!! :) :) :)

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

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(My friend tried to force me to eat a fry but just ended up smothering my lips with salt.)

Mary Contrary said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Taia nah. I'll be fine. I've had some food today already.)

Noelle said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*offers Noelle a hug* I'm sorry that they aren't currently here (that I know of) I'm sure they'll be here soonish..?)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Speak of the devil.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(And the devil appears. *steps away to allow Alastair his time with Noelle*)

Noelle said...

You aren't a devil! *Snuggles over, and steals his coat*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

You don't have to leave, Silente. I don't wish to bother anyone here.

*cuddles Noelle*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*smiles* Its fine. I'm hardly here anyway. *waves and poofs*)

Noelle said...

:(

*feels bad now*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Aww, don't feel bad Noelle! I'm on a train so honestly my signal is horrible. Sorry.)

Inky Flame said...

Feraaaa32 said...

prof gif test :P

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hello, Fera.

He's been off again, as always. Apologies. I'll remind him.

Feraaaa32 said...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Noelle said...

Thank you... I enjoy conversing a lot. And writing.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello.

I wish you a good day, Noelle, Fera and Alastair.

Reflector said...

You know what? I'm ready to know about Valkyrie's blood.

Inky Flame said...

(I'm cradling my dog like a baby)

Feraaaa32 said...

kas: I wish that to you too :)
ummmm...haven't read past 5th book XD am too scared :P

Reflector said...

Did I miss a tweet or something? Derek said he would release at least one secret per year, and knowing Derek, he's totally capable of doing something annoying like that, however when does the yer begin? Where's this year's secret?

Reflector said...

Wow... That's a good place to stop. I think you should at least red book six, because that is truly the last before the books get insane.

Feraaaa32 said...

idk reflector :P and wow, that's not very reassuring, also i am already scared of loosing fav characters and relationships between chars :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Chloe and Reflector.

@Fera C9YN9-45KDV-AJTLH

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, Chrome is weird on my new phone.
*frowns*
But hey - NO SPAZZING! !!!!!!! C:

Reflector said...

Well, from your perspective Tanith is already evil... And ganith was something really exciting.

I'm curious to know how you can stop yourself. But in many of the reviews I have read, the sixth book is where it begins to get insane, because there's no Tanith in it.

But in my opinion, it was pretty good.


Reflector said...

Star! But you must spaz!

Feraaaa32 said...

kas: awww ,thank you :3
reflector: ummm...spoiler maybe? :P

Reflector said...

There was no spoiler in anything I said, if that's what you mean by that.

Feraaaa32 said...

have you read all of them? ^_^

Star Inkbright said...

@Reflector: You don't know my old phone. :P Screen used to spaz out. So nice to not be deleting random letters and having to rely on autocorrect to use 'b' 'h' and 'u' and dealing with my phone randomly hitting the back button or returning me to the home screen.

Reflector said...

Yeah, why? Does 'spoiler maybe' mean you want to know a spoiler?

Feraaaa32 said...

no :P

Reflector said...

Spaaaaazzzztastic.

Star Inkbright said...

Omg. Being here on my new phone is SO EASY and requires NO EFFORT.
Omg.
:)

Inky Flame said...

(*lays down and sleeps, full*)

Reflector said...

So does anyone know anything about Valkyrie's blood yet????

Reflector said...

What phone do you have now?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I copy-pasted the full upside-down version of my name somewhere, but I can't find it now, and can't be bothered to go back and look for it any more so meh.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Not off the top of my head, no... Besides what was said in the books.

Reflector said...

zzoW!!!

Inky Flame said...

(Nice to meet you reflector ^.^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Inky Flame said...

(I'm good and I'm an annoying mood

Clo just... Isn't right
It must be chlo )

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: Well, I dropped it on a car park and smashed it in June 2014 (week after I got it), then I bit it and smashed it further in June 2015, then I dropped it on the patio and smashed it even further (June 2015, week after biting it).
(I swear June is cursed).
It would be fine except that in June 2015 it started spazzing out (bit of glass was digging into the side. That's what made me bite it, actually - I was so frustrated at the spazzing I just put my phone into my mouth adn BIT DOWN and then I heard this CRACK and I was like 'SHIT' and spat it out :P), and yeah that wasn't too good.
The man in the O2 shop said that he'd never seen a phone as bad as mine and he'd run over his. :P

:) Hey Lantern!

@Chloe: :) Good, thanks. You?

Inky Flame said...

(*cuddles Jai tightly* okay, you start ^.^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles Chloe tightly back* Oh thank God!
Also how are you? Excited?)

Mark: *laughs and closes his eyes*
Just go slowly or I'll trip!
*is holding her hand so she can guide him in*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Also @Chloe I've kinda come to imagine Clocky as Lindsey Stirling from the roundtable rivals, with shorter hair..)

Inky Flame said...

(I am great thanks ^.^ I am sooooo excited!
You?£


Clocky: *guides him slowly* here we go... Open your eyes
*the room is a dark blue colour*
*there is marvel things arounf the room, like a thor hammer on the wall and other details I can't be bothered to explain*
*there is a hand made painting on the wall of the avengers*

Inky Flame said...

(Can you? I see what you mean ^,^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Chloe I'm glad you're excited =)
I'm shattered xD)

Mark: *opens his eyes*
*grins*
Omg its amazing Clocky!
*would have loved it even if she'd painted it pink with flowers all over the walls honestly*
Did you paint these??
*gestures to the avengers*

Feraaaa32 said...

chloe: ok chlo :P

Feraaaa32 said...

star: i see XD I never broke any electrical devices i possessed except one mp4 player, and that was on purpose :P

Inky Flame said...

(Awwww, rest!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I am doing! I'm laid in bed daydreaming about sleep xD)

Mark: Wow..

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Feraaaa32 said...

Inky Flame said...

Clocky; *is huggef tightly and smiles* it's okay , I'm glad you like it

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Nah. I have at least three reasons to stay up.)

Mark: *smiles, taking her hand*
Wanna see your room?
*blushes very slightly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

It's okay, Fera.

*curls up*

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles Kassy o *)

Clocky; yes please!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: Okay..
*leads her out of his room*
Eyes closed!

Feraaaa32 said...

kas: *hugs tightly*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Three - friends.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: Why? :)

@Jai: :P The last two are always my reasons for staying up.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@star I know)

Inky Flame said...

Clocky; *closes eyes and is led*

Feraaaa32 said...

star: I was like 10 and wanted to build a robot XD :P Obviously not knowing anything about micro processing and electrical engineering XD
jai: ah i see...I am not one to talk so hey :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: XD XD Awwwhhh.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *leads her into her room carefully*
*has basically turned it into a steampunk den*
*he bought some of those butterflies and repainted them to make them look mechanical then stuck them to the wall*
*he's also painted the walls with interlocking cogs, the sizes of which vary*
*he hasn't changed the floor but the window frame is more steampunkesk and he painted a stained glass rose like in beauty and the beast at the top of the window*
*he also assembled a new desk for her and a chest, so she can work*
*the desk has new mechanical equipment on and some scrap metal, he couldn't afford much else*
*there's a lamp on the desk that's steampunk styled too*
*her bed, which was rather simple, now has a curtain type thing hanging from a frame attached by a hook to the ceiling*
Okay.. open!

Inky Flame said...

Clocky: *opens eyes and gasps whilst covering her mouth$ mark...

Feraaaa32 said...

star: yeeeaahhhh, i was a cutely stupid kid :p i am now annoyingly stupid XD

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *looks nervous*
Is it okay..?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Chloe*

I want to try something because I'm bored. Meet Jane.

Inky Flame said...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hi.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*waves slightly, smiling*

Come on, don't be shy! *smiles*

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: :P Idk, I think annoyance, cuteness adn stupidity are all subjective.
