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.

I was looking at the small icons on the top of the browser window when I was wondering if the icons had actually changed for some reason.

But then I remembered I was wearing new glasses and I could now actually see the icons for the first time.

Ugh, now I feel old. I think I'll put everything away and go to bed... or I'll just stop reading and just do my nightly search for the ever-popular MILF porn. Yep, I'll do just that.

I came across the description for "The Adam Project," it's a new movie by Ryan Reynolds coming soon to Netflix. The beginning tag line for the movie is... "You're 12 years old, and you just met your future self."

The first thing that came to my mind was, "hey; I'll bet that could be turned into the nice beginning of a kind of cool sci-fi story. I wonder if people would read it."

So I wonder if anyone would read a story that started like that. And now I know that I am just like Ryan Reynolds because we both think the same way. I am much happier now.

The next chapter of "Mayhem in a Pill" should be going to editors next week and be posted soon thereafter. I know I'm a little behind schedule, but I was waiting for all y'all's checks to come in, and for some reason, the post office says they've nary seen a one.

I guess I'll have to wait for next months then.

Tootles 'til next time.

Oh no, don't worry nothing extreme.

But I have finally decided on who is my favorite secondary character in a story here on SOL. I know, you've all been waiting with bated breath for my decision.

So I'll not keep you waiting any longer. I think my favorite secondary character in any story here on SOL is... Omo.

You remember Omo, right? He is the gardening expert brought to the island by Deni Truong in Refusenik's Island Mine.

Omo is expertly described and I can perfectly visualize him whenever I read that story. When the islanders are sitting in the powerboat waiting for the launch of the first space vehicle from Freehold. He's sitting toward the back of the boat with a line in the water fishing. Or when the day of the wedding comes, he is running around trying to make everything look perfect and forcing the Truong brothers to move plantings and flowerbeds from here to there. You can see him doing it all with a huge smile on his face since he is excited by a good wedding. Or maybe more to the point he's more excited about the good celebration AFTER the wedding.

It is all just expertly told and with the absolute minimum of verbiage possible. That is a sign of excellent writing.

I'm determined to get Refusenik to acknowledge my fandom of each of his stories... or at least until Cold Creek posts another chapter.

Tee Hee.
