Shinerdrinker: Blog

The last week was very nice. The wife and I were both happily away from each other. In the same house, but doing what we wanted, we ate dinner out together each night since her family left.

It's been nice.

So I've had some time to work on the new chapter of Mayhem in a Pill. So I've begun the process of posting by sending it out to my editors, who have been patiently waiting by their email for my scribbly musings. They waited on bended knees for each chapter. I mean, how could they not?

So I figured I should help with their anxiety and give them something to read.

As such, the next chapter will post soon and I suggest you go back in chapters to get caught back up with the future Tim timeline.

That is all.

Someone recently asked me where I have been. Well actually, they probably didn't care that much about me, but just wanted to know when was another chapter coming. I totally understand.

I haven't been writing much because I've been sans spare time. But the last of the wife's visiting family members just pulled up the stakes of their wagon and headed west, or east, I really don't give a fuck!

(I almost didn't write fuck, then I remembered where I'm writing.)

I just finished a final clean-up of the house with the wife and had a quiet breakfast with her. It was nice. The demon hell spawn cat even rubbed on my leg, and gave an appreciative purr, in appreciation of the mean little people leaving her alone.

So I sat down at my computer and I just got inspired to do some writing and an explanative blog post since I'll have some time today with the Cowboys already finished for the week.

(The wife also wanted some alone time, so we agreed to leave each other alone until dinner time out on the town to reward ourselves for surviving.)

So I'mma write a lil' bit.

You convinced me. Well, you and the cat. It was kind of sweet. Just a sec... no, dammit go away your binky ain't in here! Sorry, the cat just interrupted me. You know it's funny, I think she understood since I heard a purr down the hall.

Yep, my training is coming along nicely.

Okay. So it's been a while.

I haven't forgotten about "Mayhem in a Pill" or given it up. Family drama tends to bubble up to the surface around holidays featuring family. My family is no exception.

I write this as eight nieces and nephews are yelling and screaming at their 14 or are it 15 devil spawn running up and down the hallways and staircase of my previously quiet home. The cat ran away and is hiding, so at least there is that. Wow, I found the silver lining.

Anywho, I haven't had a chance for much writing, and my normal stay up late and work in the quiet of the evening has been shattered by the various little spit merchants destroying my formerly lovely home. I found a few minutes here... hang on... ugh, another cretin looking for its mother. I told it their mother ran away from home, and now I'm getting chastised by my wife for some reason. She's yelling something about me not listening to her when there is a problem. I dunno. I wasn't really listening. Bah dum tiss.

Okay, comedy aside, I'm waaay late on the next chapter, and I don't see it coming down the pipe until maybe next week. But the real good news is they all leave by Saturday. I know it's only been a week, but that week started six months ago. So long story short. Too late. The next chapter is postponed for another week or so. But I can tell you few fans still left that it is going back to the future with a view of what happened when the thin Tim and George are called into action to help rescue the undercover agent sent in to spy on the CID-SI when they discover she is in fact a spy.

So if you are desperate for something to read this weekend, refamiliarize yourself with that part of the story. I know I had to.

So with that, I'll bid you all... one sec. "No! I don't need to watch you walk down the stairs on your hands. On second thought... should be good for shits and giggles, especially if the eventual fall takes out a few of your demon army along the way."

Wow. Maybe there is a god. Got three of them, and I'm not the only adult in the house smiling.

Enjoy your holiday!

I just finished watching the Alabama vs. Texas A&M college game and decided to change the channel. I switched to Saturday Night Live, and the description of this new episode has guest host Brendan Gleeson. Okay, that's got potential, and then the musical guest is Willow.

This is where I went down a little path.

If you've followed along with me on this website, I have waxed poetic about my love of the serial "Dman" by Cold Creek in the past. While I love the stories, I have mainly complained about the lack of a new chapter in this great series. It has been a while since Cold Creek updated his incredible story. But there it is in full color... Willow is playing tonight on the long-running show.

Of course, it is not the "Willow" from the "Dman" series. But I could not help but instantly remember the feeling of two of Michael Stewart's girlfriends leaving him to be with each other. They never spoke to each other about it; it just stopped, and everyone ghosted everyone else.

I now believe this is why a burgeoning relationship with his English teacher in "Mayhem in a Pill" also fizzled out. I didn't figure that out until just now.

All because I got triggered when I read "Willow" was to be a musical guest host on a well-past-its-prime TV show.

P.S. This Willow is Will Smith, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's kid... when did she become a singer?

P.P.S. And now I wanna re-read the Dman series. But for sure, my want of a new chapter in that story will someday be satiated. And then I'll immediately want another.

I'm wondering if this is the feeling. It's an arbitrary deadline since all this is free for you readers. I have set a general timeline for getting the chapters out before a month has passed between posts.

Now I have met it for the second month in a row. Woo Hoo! Baby steps, baby steps.

I have sent the next chapter to my first editor. He takes a little bit of time with it. Then the seconds don't have as much free time to edit, but when he gets it, it generally takes a couple of days.

I like this chapter. A little bit of action never hurt anybody. Well, I guess someone is gonna get hurt. Or it wouldn't be any action, would it?

Okay, so chapter 70 of Mayhem in a Pill is sent to the editors. I guess I'll dance like the little writer monkey some of you want me to be and kill any of my free time just to give you more free stories. I know you like the story, or you wouldn't have come this far. So to those who say they have to stop because they are upset about the infrequent posting, I say okay... but come on back when the itch tells ya too! I'll still be here... naked... wearing only a cock ring.

(Guess what movie I'm going to watch today as a reward for finishing ahead of the deadline.)

Tee Hee!
