Shinerdrinker: Blog

I'm openly wishing for a miracle this holiday season. No not riches and/or revenge against my enemies. But this year, I am remembering a similar season a few years ago...

It was a much simpler time. December 22, 2018.

We all received an XMAS miracle in a new chapter from Cold Creek and his magnum opus "Dman 3."

So for this season, I'm gonna ask the jolly, fat man in the red suit to bring us a new chapter.

Hopefully, Santa can convince Cold Creek to present us all a new chapter. I know I could use one.

Thanks,
Shinerdrinker

P.S. I'd even consider sharing one of my prized bottles of Shiner if it meant another chapter in this story.

Just a quick little note to my loyal readers out there. I know it has been a while but I have not forgotten y'all.

Chapter 54 of Mayhem in a Pill is with the editors and once I get their final notes, I will, of course, ignore them and post what I want to anyways.

Just kidding. My editors do a great job of turning my bad scribblings and unidentifiable sentence structures and mold them into something resembling complete thoughts.

And I am also putting a possible warning of a delay with the following chapter because of some unforeseen medical problems cropping up on my end. Nothing too serious I hope but it does make writing into and a torture device. And when one of my true reasons for getting up in the mornings is turning into torture, well we gotta fix it.

So in closing, chapter 54 is coming soon and chapter 55 might be slightly delayed. But then again I might be able to fix my problems fairly quickly and easily, then I'll get back to writing.

Maybe I just need a vacation. Meh. Now I'm depressed. Gonna find something to read and take my mind off my troubles fer a while.

Okay, I'll get right to it!

Chapter 53 of Mayhem in a Pill has been added to the queue. It should not take long to post and I'll bet it's probably already up.

(Opens a new tab.) Well, not yet.

But soon, minions. Remember to let me know what you think of the new chapter and the new twists involving the alien robots from the future attacking to stop the environmentalists from trying to save the world thus ruining their plans of subleasing the planet for wide-scale strip-mining of dilithium crystals.

Or maybe that's supposed to be for the next chapter, please forgive me there are a lot of chapters.

Tee Hee.

Just thought I'd let my fans out there know that the next chapter of "Mayhem in a Pill" is currently being edited and once I get the final edit and approved I will post it.

I dunno, when that will be but the final edits, are usually on the weekend and this ain't the weekend. So I suspect either sometime on Sunday afternoon or evening or I'll wait and post sometime Monday after the overnight posts. Again, I don't like getting caught in with the wash of posts so I'll be a little patient.

Quick question. I've hit a wall with the "future" Tim portion of the story. I know where I want to go with it, but to jump from where it is now to there is probably too much of a leap. I can either skip it and continue with the "young" Tim timeline or I can take the time to figure it out and proceed from there. It is an artificial deadline of when to switch timelines so, in theory, I can do it whenever. But I do know there are a few fans who prefer that storyline to the football-centric universe "young" Tim is currently involved.

I'd like either a few ideas or maybe a suggestion or two of how to deal with this quandary I find myself.

Hmmph.

In reality, I could just continue with the "young" Tim storyline and keep the "Future" Tim off to the side until I figure it out.

Yep. That's what I'll do. Go ahead and forget everything else I just wrote.

Except for the bit about that the latest chapter is with the editors, that shits still true.

Thank you.

Well, I guess you can call it good news. I hit a bit of a writing track. My fellow writers all know the feeling of sitting in front of the computer's blank screen and the cursor blinks on and off at you... mockingly.

But then there are the few times when you never notice the cursor blinking since it's too damn busy trying to catch up to the cacophony of tapping keys on the keyboard.

I've been getting a bunch of the latter most recently.

So I'll be posting Chapter 52 of Mayhem in a Pill sometime today. I don't want to do it right now (half past midnight) since it might get lost in the pack of posted chapters from overnight.

So, just because I like some of you guys, I'll actually get my fat ass outta bed sometime in the morning and post it after the initial rush of posts have already gone through.

And oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you. The cursor hasn't had much time to blink even after I finished Chapter 52. Chapter 53 has gotten one hell of a boost from this rare moment of grammar diarrhea.

It really is interesting to see page after page of blank screens get quickly filled. It's even fun when the computer freezes, I need to reboot and the words keep a-coming. I prefer to think of these damned crashes as a sign of weakness on the part of the computer, it just can't keep up with my words and their beautiful symmetry.

So I think I'll ride this bitch until she bucks me off, but right now, my grip is strong and I'm feeling mighty limber!
