Shinerdrinker: Blog

Hello.

Sorry, I couldn't think of a better way to open this blog post. I've found I should try not to get too creative with these things but then again I get mad at myself when I post a blog and don't at least TRY to be clever.

Anywho.

I have sent the next chapter to the editors and they will probably take the weekend to look it over and turn it into something vaguely resembling a story written in English.

Then I will post. But have no fear, I am already working on the next chapter and because you guys are slave drivers, this chapter with the editors is a full two to three weeks earlier than normal.

One interesting thing that happened was Chapter 42 hit 10,000 downloads in like four days. I almost cried.

I then set myself to finish before it got to 11,000 because luckily it slowed down but I still didn't get there. But I did beat 12,000. It made that mark while with the editors so I consider it done.

So quick recap. Chapter 43 with editors and will probably post Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks again for the support!

Okay. Chapter 42 of Mayhem in a Pill is officially in the queue. Enjoy and let me know what you think of it.

Oh also, chapter 43 will be coming a lot sooner than normal. No exact deadline as of yet, but it will be coming out faster.

Thanks for reading my story!

So, as the title suggests, I am often in awe of the dozen or so people who read my first story on this site. It took less than a week for the overall count to reach 10,000. Some of you must have been going and reloading the chapter for hours just to get the count up. And for that I am thankful.

So thankful in fact, I decided to put my nose to the grindstone and hammer out some pages. As a result, I am happy to announce that Chapter 42 is currently in the hands of the final editor. Once he finishes marking it up and turning the monkey scratch I call writing into something that others can read and understand. I'll post it. You know instead of talking with your friends and saying: "You remember that one time when we went out drinkin'. No the other time."

Now my writing can be enjoyed by anyone.

But I still have the urge to write so I am also announcing I have already started chapter 43. So hopefully I can get this one ready to post before the next chapter can hit 10,000 downloads.

Nope. I'm not gonna strangle myself with a deadline I might not be ablle to meet. But I can tell you I'm sure as hell gonna try!

Okay, a little good news for you.

The next chapter has been placed in the queue for posting. Will be up today.

I'll go ahead and get started on the next chapter so until then, please enjoy!

I'm a little bit out of sorts today. I did A LOT of writing over the last few nights and was able to finish the next chapter of Mayhem in a Pill earlier than I thought I would. I was a little bit stuck but then I had the wonderful idea of just skipping what I was going to do in the story and bring it back around later as needed.

The story arch will still be told but just not in this next chapter. Don't worry, it still all works out in the end. That's where I was worried but I got it all straight now. So I have the chapter with the last editor now and once he finishes repainting the page with red, I'll be able to post for the three or four of you who want to read the story.

Oh, one last thing. I will admit that the last week and a half was completely screwed with the long-awaited posting of a new chapter from Cold Creek. I was shocked and ever thankful. I opened it and immediately started reading but then I stopped after a paragraph. I told myself, "Hey Self, it's been a while since you have put yourself into this story and you got plenty of time to write your chapter later, why not go back a chapter and reread so you can enjoy it even more."

Needless to say, I had several more conversations with myself and yadda yadda yadda, I reread the entire story from the beginning and then truly enjoyed the new chapter to its fullest content. But now I find myself talking to myself, "Self, when do you think Cold Creek will post the next chapter? I dunno guy. Hopefully, he won't take too long. Say, it has been quite a while since you read Refusenik's Island Mine and the Cowboys don't play until tonight. Let's have some fun shall we?"

Yep, sounds like fun.
