Shinerdrinker: Blog

Hello. Hello.

I just called to let y'all know I have sent the latest chapter of "Mayhem in a Pill" to the editors and I expect them to turn my third grade level words into something everyone can enjoy.

I am working on the next chapter already but I won't be able to tell you guys when it will be out; but hey, remember what they say about God and people making plans.

So basically the next chapter will be coming out soon. I realistically expect to be posting it for everyone early next week. Hey don't yell at me but the editors need a lot of time to fix my words.

I've talked here about my arbitrary goal of posting a new chapter once the previous chapter hits 10,000 downloads. But the downfall of that plan became quickly apparent when after the first few chapters, the amount of time between posting a chapter and it reaching 10,000 downloads quickly sped up from roughly a month until this last chapter. It took just over three days to reach 10,000 downloads. That to me is mind-boggling.

And I didn't have to keep opening tabs on my browser to keep logging new downloads.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And yes, it does force me to get off my as from in front of the TV and get back on my ass in front of the computer and continue the story.

So. I shall. Don't know how long it will take to get it ready for posting but I'm going to actually try and see how that works out. This of course goes against every facet of my laziness but hell, I'll give it a shot. Right up until, I miss something cool on TV or I spend too much time on the story and not enough watching out for my fantasy football team.

Again, I say thank you and even though you can't see me, I am bowing and with a hand over my heart, I am opening a new page to start Chapter 29.

Chapter 28 of Mayhem in a Pill is in the queue.

Tim Murphy is finally gettin' himself some. And the Shinerdrinker is living up to the promised Minimal Sex description he filled out when he started posting the story.

I fear I went a little verbose but the few people who have already read it said I had no need to worry. They are telling me my fears are all Much Ado About Nothing.

We'll see. But please let me know so I'm not worried about it.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Everybody!

Let's keep this short and sweet, shall we?

Chapter 28 of Mayhem in a Pill is currently with the first editor. Once he finishes, I get it back and do the corrections he suggests. Luckily pretty much all of them make the story better and for that I am greatful.

Umm... let's see. I've been writing and waiting for the NFL season to restart. That comes up this weekend. College football already started and with a few shockers. I won't go into them but damn.

Oh yeah, I wanted to let everyone know that they should get caught back up with the everyday goings-on with our Tim Murphy in high school otherwise known as Chapters 24 & 25. The story shifts back to that timeline.

Let's see... anything else... nope that'll do.

To my decuplet of fans, please enjoy.

Well, well, well.

The weather gurus were right about the rains and winds, but they were wrong about where they were going. And for that, I am thankful. No we didn't get away scott free or anything. I'll take 4 inches of rain over 3 days rather than 14-20 inches they were forecasting.

Me and mine were ready as could be to face this storm. We even had bug out plans in case the rain got to be too much to deal with. But luckily, the most we saw was a fine, sheen of water the grew to halfway up to the top of the curbs on the road. But that lasted for only a couple of hours and then the rain stopped for a few hours allowing the run off to well run off.

So a weekend wasted with nuthin' to do but talk to your family and worry. No writing and very little reading done this weekend. I will try to write again this upcoming week and I generally want to since college football season starts up again this weekend. I know myself and once there is actual live football with something to win and/or lose, I doubt I'll be writing. But I have in the past and I will in the future.

So long story short... we good here in San Antonio. But damn... Houston, try to stay dry and know that San Antonio is here to help. Unless it is to help the Rockets, I don't think there is anything we can do for them. Or more to the point, want to do anything to help them.
