While I'm not one hundred percent back to normal, I'm certainly getting there. The medication I've been given seems to have scattered my mind a little bit, making it hard to focus- but there are only a few pills left, and once they're gone, my great and glorious mind shall return...
In the meantime, I just want to let you know that at some stage over the next few days, I'll be posting the REAL cover to Skulduggery 6 here on this Blog, and not Tom's sketch that has been doing the rounds on the interweb. Along with that, you'll also be getting the official title, which may or may not be what you're expecting.
At the moment, Tom is finishing up the cover and it's looking- no surprise here- absolutely amazing. You better have a bucket handy, because when the cover is revealed your heads are going to explode and your brains are going to need something to leak into. Which is, I'll freely admit, somewhat gross.

Ah good. You're feeling better. Well, do continue to get well.
Yes, that's really all I have to say.
Except... Aren't you proud of your minions, Derek? Isn't it wonderful that they write so fantastically, and draw amazing fan-art (not myself, obviously) and... and... my book has reached 409 pages! Wow, no one cares. Oh well. 119,239 words, too. I'm so happy.
Hopefully, once it's finished, I can send it to a heap of publishers. I mean, ONE of them is bound to like it, right?
Right?
Now, seriously, I'll shut up.
Continue getting better, Master.

Yay! Thanks, Kal! :]
I think I scared Skulgirl away with my declaration of new posts on my blog! xD
Well, I hope not! xP
Thanks! :D
haha thanks you :]
I'm sorry, Kallista, I have to go :/
I hope to see you tomorrow! :]
Good-night!
Farewell!
I thought it was ok. Kinda weird, though. I think I like some of the others better. :]
Anyway, Bye!
My head is already exploding with excitement about finding out what the title and cover of book 6 will be. I can't wait for book 6.
I'm Fangirl screaming with pent up excitement at the moment!!!!! :D
I can't wait!!!
Derek?????
Is it going to be a world wide release?
Do we minions in Australia get it at the same time as the Europe minions??
hi you guys
hi guys
That IS gross... but at the same time IT's. SO. FREAKING. EXCITING!!!!!! Sweet Jesus I swear my stomach just fell through the floor. Everytime I reread these books or even start thinking about them or what may happen next, no matter were I'm at I kind of squeek a little. My friends just look at me all funny like. XD
Anywho, hope you get to feeling 100% real soon Derek. You're too cool to get sick. ;)
hi everyone
:( my suposed friend is a b@#$h
This isn't right. There's been a new post up for quite some time(in Blogland time), and there's very few comments. (for Blogland)
Hmm...Apparently I'm listening to Folk music. I wonder when that happened.
Hello!

I don't think my brain is gonna run out when I see the cover... I think my eyes are gonna pop out and leep on to the computer and get stuck on the screen. I don't think I want to watch anything else than that cover for the whole day so I don't mind :P
And you have to take care of yourself Derek! Get well soon for your fans and family! Promise us that!

Hi Aquila!
Hi Dragona!
^^
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Dear Mr. Landy,
Thank you for updating. I'm relieved and happy to hear you are recovering. Sorry about the med fog, but so long as the pills are getting you better, I'll forgive them for temporarily slowing you down.
Looking forward to awesome new cover! And a little less so to my brain leaking into a bucket. I mean, it doesn't do anything especially spectacular, but it does keep me alive, and I'd like it to keep doing that job so I can enjoy the rest of the books. :-P And, you know, the rest of my life.
Warn us when you're going to post the cover, so I'll know to put a helmet on or something.
Yay! You're back!

Good morning everyone!
Dragona, I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope she passes peacefully. I'm sure the rest of your family is stressed out, too, and that doesn't help. *hugs*

Hello Aquila Felis
*smiles* nope I'm sorta new to commenting on this blog!
Oh I'm the only Irish!
Ah well! It doesn't really matter!!
Oh England and Australia! I've never been to there what's it like?!
Awwwwwwww..........
Bye Dragona
*hugs*
Bye Dragona!
Wow, that's a shock. Thanks for telling me Octa
Bye Jaffa!
You do know I'm not coming back, right?
*starts crying 4 dragona's grandmother*
I kno how he feels
*Keeps crying*
I know.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news
I was just browsing the doctor who site and came upon this.
I knew you watched Doctor Who and thought you should know.
*blinks*
I think I missed something...
*leaves a bit to read the above comments*
Why are you saying bye to me Aquila?
Bye Dragona!
Wat!
u hav 2 come bak dragona
4 Kallista
???
So... not Jaffa's going, but Dragona?
And forever?
What...?
*puts on casual clothes*
i dont feel like cheer-leading anymore
i'm TOO SAD!
Hey Octa, has season 6 of doctor who come out yet in the UK?
Ah, I hope you're better soon. Is the medication something strong, like antibiotics? If so, I wouldn't worry - when I was on strong medication after dental surgery (the first and last time - I hate messing with my immune system and brain and stomach etc.) a lot of people thought that I was on drugs.
Also, I wasn't even aware there was a sketched version! Clearly I am a Bad Minion, but I guess I'm totally unspoiled, haha.
*starts begging Dragona to come bak on*
Please Dragona 4 Kallista Please!!!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!
Sorry, got to go...
*leaves, mumbling about stobborn teenagers*
Lol, Bye Aquila!
Umm........
Aquila your still a teenager
i guess
Bye Aquila
I confuzzled now.
Series 6 starts on Saturday Jaffa.
Dragona leaving for ever? Really?
I think I''m going to go now
Bye everyone even though don't know any of ye!!
Ok, thanks Octa
Yeah, it's probably my fault dragona left
Brb
Bye Sadhbh
Bye Aquila and Sadhbh
I'll probably come on later when this has all blown over.
wat is going on with 2day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just can't take this damn blog any more! My grandma is sat in a hospital bed, going to die in the next week. Then I have people complaining about everything I do! Even if it's good or bad they still have a go at me. Then I have Lizzy saying that I take the fun out of everything then I have Nicolette talking about me behind my back and saying all sorts of rubbish to Trohyman. If you don't believe what I say, name one thing I've done since last year that no one has complained about. Then people start changing their names and stuff and I just can't take it! I doubt you'll miss me that much, all I do is take the fun out of everything anyway. Bye guys. I just can't take it anymore! :(
And it will be a miriacle if someone even takes notice of this... I suppose you'll be too busy being angry with me to take notice like you always are.
oh ok Octa
Hope you granny gets well soon dragona!
OK now I'm defo gone!
COME BAK DRAGONA!!!!!!!!!!
I'm NOT angry!!!!!!!!!!
please!!!!!!!!
*starts crying*
we started out as REALLY GOOD FRIENDS before and now........
*keeps crying*
Sorry I came back because someone followed my blog!!! Thanks jaffa morbid (that's what the username is on my blog anyway)
You got married to Kallista.
Dragona, I feel for you and your grandma, your not the only one to loose a loved one you know?
We do care for you, Kallista and I for starters are worried about you. We've talked about it a couple of times. And I know it hurts you when people change their names and all which is why I don't change mine.
Please don't leave us!
Hey guys, sorry, gtg.
In case you read this Dragona. IM SORRY! Your not the only one that's got a heap of crap happening
wat happened to us!!!!!!!
how come we have SOOOOOOO MUCH HATRED
Dx
Octa, Darkane didn't like it. See... I haven't done anything. I just can't take this damn blog any more.
vals
hi been a while
whats wrong dragona
And you created the overflow's so that we could continue to talk!
*sits down on log thinking about the FUN times on the blog and how everything turned out so wrong*
*joins vals and yells out group hug *
i changed my name bak when u asked me to
Y do u hav 2 leave
OK, that's one thing Octa. One thing out of 4 months. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, people still complain and I'm fed up of it. I just can't take the stress of everything right now.
And you write amazing fanfiction that people really love reading.
i'm not complaining
Dx
you a good friend and your funny and you make every one happy
*hugs Amelie*
*pops in*
What about convincing me to come on here?
If you can't take the stress... couldn't you just go for a while? Not forever?
hugs vals and aquila
i like reading your fanfic Dragona
Too.
That was last year Aquila. And even if I just have a break, people will still complain about me so there's no point.
Amelie, no, I'm not. And I definatly don't make everyone happy because, to quote Lizzy: "You take the fun out of everything."
i havent read it but i sure its fantastic someone post the link *hugs dragona in attempt to cheer him up*
Well people complain about most stuff. That's life. But don't let it ruin your own life. I know and other people know that your a great guy with a really fun personality and if you want a break from the blog then take one.
Yes we'll miss you but we'll still be there for you when you come back. I think perhaps you need a break to be with your family. Don't let us hold you back from that. If however you want to stay here then stay.
Just do what you think is right and we'll support you.
well she is no fun then remember our game of truth or dare
i'm not helping very much, am i?
*walks off into the blogland woods alone*
*yells after vals comeback* and ok yes i know what it is like to know that a grandma is going to die in the next week a couple of years ago i went through the same thing my grandma had liver cancer and a week after i saw her i get home from school and my mum tell my sisters and i that she die so if you need to go go for a while but come back and when you do you know we will be here for you
Octa, I don't want to just take a break. I want to leave. My grandma will be dead by then and I'll be sad but yet the shit on here will still continue so what's the point? I know not everyone complains about the things I do but most people do. All I do on here is cause arguments and the blog would be better off without me. Then people could change their names and do what the hell they want.
now dont say that the blog would not be better of without you then we wouldnt have fun time like our truth or dare game were you ended up with lipstick on your abs and many other time and your not the only one who doestn like it when people change their names
but Dragona
it wont be the same without u
*sighs*
I won't keep you from going if you really want to.
Would you still have your blog?
people of blogland say i if you think it wont be the same without dragona
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Yes I would Aquila, I'm not going to delete it.
i
dragona but we wil miss you and the people who say they dont shouldnt be here if it werent for you we wouldnt have the overflow blog then what would we do if we filled this up
Holy flaming white chocolate covered limited Christmas edition oreos. This is beyond exciting. Bucket is prepared, brain is bracing itself.
I'm more excited for the title, though, to be honest. And that's saying something because I think Tom's work is always stunning. I haven't seen this sketch though?
Hope you're feeling better soon, Derek
Then I'll see you there. :)
Got to go... supper.
Bye all!
hey aquila *lights campfire and gets aquila vals dragona octa and me to sit around and reminisce*
Bye Aquila.
Now let me guess what is going to happen. People are going to complain about me leaving...
Dragona
U r the glue which HOLDS our friendship together
without u our friends will drift away from us
and we dont want that 2 happen
how bout we reminisce
no we dont know go an grief for a while if grieve you must but when you come back we will be here for you
No, I'm not the glue Scarlet. I'm the person who tries to do something good and ends up breaking the friendship apart.
To Dragona: Think what you want, but you're one of the originals on here and regardles of what you think, the blog wouldn't be the same without you. And I can tell you that without having actually talked to you before.
Bye Aquila
the people in the friendship broke it up not you
you are just a good person doing a good deed nothing else
vals you got first who do you dedi this page to
f
so .......
i dont kno
*looks away sadly*
i have an idea get on facebook and i will tell you
vals
Dang I was too late.
*epic sigh*
Fine. I'll stay. I'm not happy about it though. If any of the shit that I have talked about happens again then I'll leave. Because I'm fed up. But at least people now know how I am feeling because if any of the people who complain about everything I do were here, they'd do what they always do, take no notice of me and just get angry. It's the usual drill. They'd just make it worse.
yay lets party cuz your staying
No, I don't want a party. People will just complain.
dont be sad your frinds are here and are happy that you are not going
But if I'm happy people will complain. If I'm sad people will complain. I just can't win.
i'm gonna give first 2 Amelie
Sorry! My internet died.
I'm glad your staying Dragona.
I thought of another thing you did for us.
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-post.html
Your epic Christmas post!
I think that instead of complaining about each other perhaps you all just need to talk to eath other and explain things to one another instead of going in guns blazing.
Both sides must be willing to listen to each other.
Octa, that was a POST. I don't think it counts. And if I talk to the people then they'll complain some more.
i luv Christmas
who wouldnt
if someone doesnt like Xmas
they're INSANE
me and vals decied to do this for you dragona
http://dedicatedtodragona.blogspot.com/
and i am pretty sure that i can block certain people so if they complain about you on this blog i will we love you in a not weird kinda way so yeah this is for you
LOL, the music video for The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars is funny with them monkeys :P
well just tell them u want to tell them something important and that u really need them to listen to wat u hav 2 say
i know i think the monkeys look alot like him
brb
Well you should atleast try. And of course the post counts the sentiment was there and you could have easily not made one but you did because your awesome and you want your friends to be happy.
But maybe they won't complain if you talk. maybe they will. But if you don't try you won't know.
Aww thanks! A blog dedicated to me... I'm honoured :)
*hugs Scarlet and Amelie*
Thanks guys :)
i luv that song
so who wonts to have a cheery look at dragona s blog
*starts singin*
Today i swear i'm not doin anything
i just wanna lay in my bed
we did it for you and i am going to put up post on it every now and then to let you know that you are loved and we dont want you to leave blogland
forget about the pricetag it aint about the chachin chachin it aint about the babling babling
What the hell is this music video? It's got some weird people dancing in a city. 4 Music is kinda rubbish :P
Thanks Amelie :)
