As the title says, I take solace because I wasn't the only one to miss this mistake in Chapter 57 of Mayhem in a Pill. But then again, I was the one to find it.

I went back to the chapter to double-check my notes for the correct answer to a question I had for the next chapter in Mayhem. It was something that I knew who I wanted, but apparently, I was distracted, and so was everyone else. Sure, he was a great artist, but so was he.

Anywho, I've sent in the correction, and it should get updated later this morning, and then once again, all will be right with the world again. No need to worry. No need to worry about anything else at all... whatsoever.

Okay, so I posted the latest chapter of Mayhem in a Pill, and it is safe to say there have been a few people who have at least checked it out. There have been at least 5,300 who have checked it out since I posted the chapter yesterday.

I think that is pretty good. But then again, it has me waxing poetic about the good old days. You remember them good ol' days, don't you?

Back when you post a chapter, and it stays on the front page for at least three days with the minimal amount of scrolling needed to get to it. But now, with the success of SOL, the chapter gets pushed to page two and even page three within 20 hours of posting because so many more stories are being added to the overall count. I like this. And I don't like this.

But the more I think about it, yes, it is nice the site is doing so well, but it also shoves my story further away and forces the people who only read on weekends or after work to scroll further. I know. I know. I can feel the trolls pointing out that SOL has custom tools helping people keep track of titles and authors in who they are already interested. It's weird to think there aren't people waiting with bated breath for the next chapter of my story. (Tee hee.) just like my editors.

But I worry for the new reader. The new people on the site are just finding out about the incredible authors on this site. Ugh. But I digress. Maybe that will nudge these people into joining the website as paying members. Or maybe even as fellow authors. But I can secretly hope their stories are not as good as mine or my favorites.

I guess I'll just have to promote my story with these here blog posts and maybe drive some new readers thatta way

Tee hee.

Alrighty then, folks, here is another update for the next chapter of Mayhem in a Pill. I just got a couple of emails asking for the next chapter, so I guess I'll just update everyone, hopefully, at the same time.

The next chapter is with the editors and going through the final read. So expect the next chapter either Monday or Tuesday.

I suggest if you haven't already, go ahead and go back to chapter 61 and get reacquainted with the storyline "B," otherwise known as older Tim, and what happens there.

Just a tip, though ladies, remember when the guy says anything regarding "just a tip," your alarm bells should be going off.

Anywho, please pre-enjoy the next chapter.

Toodles.

Quick edit: No sooner had I finished this post than I looked in my email and lo and behold waiting for me in my email is the next chapter all ready for my final look-see. So expect the next chapter to post sometime tomorrow morning... unless I sleep late then it'll be in the afternoon. Since I don't like for my chapters to get lost in the middle of a bunch of other posts... might get lost or something and we can't have that now, can we? Tee Hee.

Phil Collins asked us that, and I like to answer hell yes... it's NFL Draft season right around the corner. I decided to get this chapter done before the beautiful opening of the NFL Draft. If I'd waited until after the draft finished, it would have been at least another month before I could get it out for you! Can you feel it in the air tonight?

So I have been working on this latest chapter, and unfortunately, it took a bit longer than I wanted since I needed to go back and reread some stuff about what was going on with the older Tim and the guys. But I have to admit. I have been slacking on that side of the story. But I think I have caught up again. Believe me, everybody, I am my hardest critic.

I have heard a few complaints, and of course, they wound me, but I take a breath and go searching for some nice MILF porn, and I pretty much forget why I was upset in the first place. MILF's will do that for you. It's like a rule or something.

Anywho, um, I've sent Chapter 66 of Mayhem in a Pill to the editors, and it will take them a few days to get it back to me since all of that red ink of corrections weighs down the paper makes it a little challenging to read. Then I openly mock their daring need to suggest I have done anything wrong in my writing. But I will allow them their fun before I go ahead and post what I sent them before they started marking the stuff up!

Oh yeah, one last thing. This chapter has nothing to do with football. Yet this next chapter does have everything to do with what is going on with the finding out why the former CID-SI soldiers have kidnapped the youngest of the scientists. But they have also upset a high-quality crew of extremely dangerous and capable survival enthusiasts. I really dig this chapter, and the next one coming up will also be a nail-biter... maybe! But I don't wanna ruin it.

Tee Hee!

I had a pretty cool dream. I won't bore all y'all with details, but it was an excellent bit for "Mayhem," so I woke up earlier than normal and got the main points of the scene down on the computer.

Once I finished all of that, I decided to go ahead and write out the entire scene, and once completed, the scene was a good three pages of words. I am excited to get it into the story, but unfortunately, it was not for this upcoming chapter.

Oh well, but it will be soon after that. So kind of long story short, I'm up early and in writing kinda mood. So I'm actually writing on a Monday. I'm kinda expecting a few feet of snow down here in San Antonio since the last time I was waking up early to write when the state lost power last year, and everyone realized the world didn't shit itself out of fear of hearing, "I'm a Texan, don't you forget it."

Long explanation over, and I'll specify since I tend to ramble a bit. I'm writing the next chapter about the future Tim and his shenanigans. You might want to go back and bring yourselves back up to speed. I know I had to.

Tee Hee.
