You have had a productive 2025. I'll DM my email for Part 3 of Methusela. Thank you for including me in the comedy collaboration. Best wishes for continued success in 2026.

Thanks K.C. This has been my most prolific writing year.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts once you finish reading the codex.

Goodluck on your publishing journey. I the next stage fruitful.

No posts in 2026 is a little sad though. Methuselah and Technician Time both go hard.

Thanks Max! It was exactly a year ago today the Pilot Episode for TECH TIME! released... If only I could be a full time author. I'd be cranking out season two today. Methuselah Codex feels more weighty and important though, and I want to keep the momentum there. Additionally, though this has been an astounding year of writing for me... my day job performance has been slipping.

Yeah you've definitely got the makings of something really powerful with Methuselah Codex. You've got your priorities straight. Gotta keep that momentum going.

Sounds like your day job is too much of a distraction. Maybe you should just quit and go full starving artist. Day jobs are such transient things, but the Methuselah Codex is forever.

Just go full Cormac. Abandon a day job. Go full writer. Starve along with my wife and children till I make it.

Did you read [22]?

Yeah Cormac knew what it was about. That shack with no electricity is looking better each day.

No I haven't read it yet sorry. It's on the list though. I've been pretty slack with my Substack reading lately. Not that I was particularly diligent in the first place.

No need to apologize, but do give it a look. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on it.

I laughed quite a bit at whatever that was… especially the child bearing part… also I cannot vote for the comedy because Walmart has yet to ship it to me… coming sometime in January I’m sure. And that is odd about people just asking for the next thing which is a roundabout way of saying wow great work! And so I’m here to say I’m disappointed there will be nothing coming out in 2026.

Well… part three for you.
