Shinerdrinker: Blog

I am currently re-reading Refusenik's Island Mine. (It's an attaboy to myself for working so hard on Mayhem.) Anyways, it still hits me how much I love that story like when Waylon and the captured SEALs get a phone call from Waylon's dad, I swear I could hear the moans of the everyone in the hanger along with my own.

Ugh.

I wish I can write that well someday.

Just a quick update on the next chapter, I would have released it last week but I decided to make a change from one character to another after I realized I just didn't want to get rid of that character just yet. I felt there should be a happy ending for him when we leave him.

So that is adding a little bit of time before posting. I will finish the chapter probably in the next couple of days and then the editing takes about a week or so. It takes a long time to make sense outta the expository diarrhea that flows from my keyboard.

Just a little update about Maayyyhem! (Think Jack and Diane.)

I got an email from a friend who knows how much a fan of the movie I am but, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is on Youtube and it's for free.

I know it doesn't really have anything to do with this website, but I figure anyone would like a good deal and a good laugh.

Just run a search on Youtube and you should be able to find it. I'd give you a link but I figure you guys could get it yourselves!

Try to imagine a GIF of Don Adams gesturing "Missed it by that much."

And if you can't,
rel="nofollow">try this.

Missed it by about 150 or so but I think it will make it to 10,000 before tomorrow and 10,000 in eight days is still awesome.

As a reward for all of you, I shall work on the next chapter some more tonight rather than watching TV.

You're welcome and thanks!

Edit: Wrote Don Knotts but it was Don Adams. Sorry.
Thanks, skoullar!

Hi all.

I was taking a quick break from diligently working on the next chapter of Mayhem (wink, wink) when I decided to check the downloads of the latest chapter since it had been a few days since I last checked.

Holy schnikeys!

Six days since I posted the last chapters and it is almost at 10,000 downloads.

SIX FRIGGIN DAYS to 10,000!

But my ego knocked on the door to ask "Hey yo, writing monkey, what can we do to get the count up to 10,000 before the seventh day... besides, you don't need to rest!" (Hey it is my ego and I usually don't let him talk out loud too much, sorry.)

But let's see are at about 9,400 at the time of writing this blog post. Can we reach 10,000 downloads of chapter 56 before we hit the end of the seventh day? That will come at around 8 am Monday morning.

I think we can!

(Why do I feel like a telethon host or like I'm tryin' to sell cheap kitchen appliances on late night television?)

Well anyway, I was just having a little wishful idealism. Besides, I am pretty far along in the next chapter. (I know I write that here a lot but this time I really am!)

I'll let y'all know Monday morning if we hit the goal.

Wow!

When you post nowadays, the possibility exists that your story may get caught up amid a flood of updates and thus your update gets pushed off the front page very quickly.

I choose to think of it as a result of the popularity of SOL. So many stories being regularly updated seemingly all the time.

When I posted the latest chapter of "Mayhem in a Pill," it was in a rare null zone of about an hour and a half on Monday morning with no other updating posts. So I had a little bit of time to myself upfront on SOL. I remember times, when I could update around 9, am on a Tuesday and no other new posts until almost noon, and then it would be only one or two updates until late afternoon. I used to think that was a major reason for the nice numbers I'd see whenever I update the story.

But the latest stats show that you guys like me... you really like me um, I mean my story! Yeah. My story.

The first 36 hours up and just over 7,000 downloads of the new chapter.

I said all that just to say this... thanks. And yes, the rumors are true. I did have time this weekend to write and yes, I actually did write. See... my collection of MILF porn took a big hit this weekend without me and my searches. I did that for you.

I know, I know. I'll get back to writing now.
