I was just finishing up a nice bit of writing for "Mayhem in a Pill" when I caught sight of a show on TV. (I keep the boobtube on but muted while writing.)
It had something to do with Antarctica. Just people in prefabricated buildings were gearing up for a journey from one building to the next because the causeway between the two was not yet completely built or some odd thing. Well, it got me remembering a couple of my favorite stories here on SOL written by the wonderful Graybyrd.
I started wondering "Hey, self, whatever happened to Graybyrd and his wonderful stories about the Masi'shen?" So I went to investigate. Lo and behold, I discovered why he hadn't posted an update or the final chapter of his story. In my defense, I don't really look too often at people's bios after I've read them before. I mean, really, is there much of a need? Unless you've lived an entirely new life in the sum of a day, and you gotta let everyone know. If that's the case, then write an actual story and post it.
Needless to say, the writing muse said, "Fuck this! We out!" I can't say as I blame them, neither.
Yeah, I don't feel like writing much more this morning or for the rest of the day. But I do have a new sixer o'Shiners and not a thing else to do today. My upfront apologies to the editors if I send the newest chapter out later today since there could be more than a few stupid typing missteaks than usual.
I'm so sorry to read about your leaving this mortal coil, Graybyrd, but I'm even sorrier for this universe that we'll never get to know what happened in the Masi'shen sequels.

P.S. Yes, I do know about the ReaderInfo Contributor Status pages for such a thing. I just hadn't thought of him until I saw those fools layering up for the short trek to the building through the whiteout of snow and wind.
