I know. I know. It's been a while.

I can only explain why there has not been an update on Mayhem in a Pill. The excuse this time...

I just didn't wanna.

I had the time but didn't have the "wantto." Do any of you understand that? I was lazy. I have been for most of my life, but it once again reared its ugly little head, and I did little to no writing this last month or so.

As an excuse, though, I can say it's very difficult to write football scenes with nothing good as an example to help with motivation.

No ill will to the USFL. But the football played in the XFL was better. There were supposed to be higher-quality players in the USFL, especially since they paid around 15 grand more per player. But the play quality was much worse, and I can not remember a single player from this year's USFL.

Can you?

But I digress... I have started writing again. I generally put out chapters around 16-20 pages long, and the next chapter is sitting at the 18-page yard line.

I have a couple of different ways for the story, but I'm having trouble deciding which way to push the story. Not a ridiculous amount of change like forcing it into a "Florida Friends" or maybe even a "Life in Paradise" universe.

I could be coerced into a "Stupid Boy" universe tie-in, but that is another story altogether.

But I digress. Part Two - Electric Boogaloo.

It ain't quite ready, and I hope to finish it this week and maybe get it to my editors this weekend. But no promises.

Hmmm, a "Stupid Boy" crossover. Methinks I should think a little bit more about this, what do y'all think?

Okay, everybody!

Just letting you know I have sent chapter 76 of Mayhem in a Pill to the editors, and it should come in whenever it comes in.

In some even more gooder news, I have more time this upcoming week for writing. Not every second, but the bull should be pushed aside, and I'll be able to do some writing.

So, while I'm not guaranteeing an unbelievably fast turnaround for chapter 77, I expect to work on it this week. We'll see.

Hello everybody.

Just a quick update. I know I'm behind schedule for the next chapter, and I apologize profusely.

Life gets in the way. But life is moving on for the next weekend, and I'll have time to work on it this weekend. I know... I know. Make plans and let life laugh at them.

But my wife understands I've been putting you guys aside to help her and her family's problems. So she will give me this weekend to work on the next chapter of Mayhem in a Pill. She said she is actually looking forward to it as well. That was a shot across the bough since she said she gave up on it when Tim first took the damn pill!

So, I have my marching orders, and she even refilled my bucket o' Shiners I keep on the floor next to my writing desk. I came in with a six-pack; she had already put a six-pack in there and topped them with ice. I'll thank her later... probably tomorrow. But tonight, I'll try and get as much done as possible, and if I need to keep working on it tomorrow, you guys can also thank the wife for that time.

Okay, enough joking around with you lot. Back to work, I go.

Tee Hee.

-Shiner... ahhhhh. Drinker

Okay, a quick update for my score of fans.

Just letting you know the next chapter of "Mayhem in a Pill" is at least 90% completed as a first draft. I still need to end the chapter and send it off for editing.

That would be something very simple to do, but if you have been a long-time follower of this story, you know there is something that will keep me from completing it for at least the rest of the weekend.

NFL Draft time. I take the draft seriously.

As such, I will not be able to finish it this weekend. I'm looking at next week for me to finish the first draft. Then, I can send it to editing and finally post it for all y'all.

Just letting you know... it ain't personal.

Well... maybe a little personal.

Tee Hee.

I almost forgot to let you guys know. The next chapter of Mayhem in a Pill is with the editors, and I've given them the weekend to work on it.

Once they have arranged to send me my monthly quota of MILF offertory (it's good to be the king), I'll go ahead and post it for all of you.

So expect it early this upcoming week, like Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Unless something bad happens like Jessica Biel leaving that Boyband husband of hers and she spreads eagle on my front lawn declaring her undying love for me... again.

So long story short, a new chapter coming soon... heathens.

Tee Hee.
