I was working on the next chapter of Mayhem in a Pill when I received an email from a reader asking about when the next chapter would be posted. Now that by itself is not unusual. What is unusual is I took it as an opportunity to answer their question and let them know a little bit about the next chapter.
I had written a whole couple of paragraphs just explaining the next bits of the story then I asked myself, "Hey self?"
"Yeah. Whadda ya want?"
"Why am I giving this guy more of an insight into the next chapter than anyone else?"
"I dunno. It is earlier than normal and it is a Saturday. No real reason to be awake this early. It's not like there is a series of football games to watch on TV."
"Mmph."
"That's what I'm saying."
So I quickly went to hitting backspace and erasing the several paragraphs of explanation I had written to this regular fan who was probably bored and awake too early on a Saturday morning. So I've decided to just put out a blog post and let others know while I'm not yet ready to post the next chapter, I can safely warn everyone to go ahead and catch up on the old Tim side of the story. It's about time we get some stuff going over there.
I will tell y'all this though, there are many times since I've started posting this story that I wish I hadn't decided to write both sides of the story at the same time and put them together in the same story. It would have probably been safer for my sanity to keep them separate and just write two different stories in the same universe. But hey, what the fuck.
Like I told that other dude, my pages are about 15 pages or so and I am currently in the middle of page 6. Believe you me, this is way ahead of schedule for me!
Oh yeah! Is it bad form to openly advocate for people to vote for you in the Clitorides for "Author of the Year?" And no, I didn't nominate myself. I'm pretty far behind but it would be nice to at least show up in the running! Tee Hee.
