Okay.
Wow. I thought I'd get a response but damn! The overwhelming favorite will be done. So I started writing that chapter earlier today and I am now ending my writing for the day. Hell I even got in an extra hour. "Wink Wink"
But a rather interesting thing did occur. Coming in third place of a two position poll was the idea of changing the way I write these stories and morph into a style used most excellently by RoustWriter and his epic story "Arlene and Jeff." And to tell the truth, I played with the idea of switching scene back and forth when I went through a massive change in ideas about 3 chapters in and had to rewrite pretty much everything except the chapters already posted.
A lot of people would like for me to meld the two storylines together and the truth is while it is possible, I would rather keep it this way because to me it is like writing two different stories. Each with the same beginning but going off into different storylines. Kinda feels like I am writing two different stories.
Another problem is that I keep coming up with like other ideas of what could happen. I keep threatening to write in our alien overlords were responsible for thwarting our heroes idea to change his life. Our maybe even to discover that a rogue unit in the government actually followed behind to keep tight controls over what may happen. The ideas keep coming which for a writer is not a bad thing.
But I digress... Varsity football came in first by a long shot and the drug dealers beat out the combo tactic by just a couple of votes. Vote nullifying sisters were both counted, so no worries there.
So I am a few pages into Mayhem and his first varsity football on the sidelines but rest assured all those who seem to not like the football games themselves, that ain't all that is in this chapter. And I have also already jotted down my ideers for the drug dealers. I will have time to work on those once this chapter is complete. If my plans stay fluid, then this week will be the first time in a long time I have been able to schedule time for writing. Since I am blaming it all on NaNoWriMo, the family is at least acting like they can understand.
So, long story short... we shall have another chapter of young Mayhem and his trials during high school. But the next chapter after that will be what happens with those drug dealers.
Thanks for voting. Damn near 50 votes... golly geez, maybe I should rethink about the number of readers I have out there.
Naw, I'm still convinced you all have gone through the trouble of signing into SOL using multiple alias, just to make me think there are people actually reading my story. Yep. That's more believable.
