Usually it does. I get these things. I get ice cream and pens and all the pencils and... But no, nobody picked up on the, yeah, I do that on Substack. Wednesday on Substack is free Wednesdays and a giveaway ship. Use pencils where I've been chewing the eraser and stuff. Good stuff. Useful, you know, yeah.

Yeah, well, I won't care at that point. It's like legacies. I don't care. Buildings named after me. No, I don't care. Do you still write 360 days a year? Pretty much. I don't know the exact number, but yeah, it's 350 something, yeah, whatever it is. It's rare that I don't write. What stops you from writing? Usually something that came up. I'm traveling somewhere or something, you know.

But if I'm traveling on a plane, I'll always write. I don't remember the last time, to be honest with you. Maybe it is 365 days a year. Yeah, wow.

Uh-huh. Part of it was, I'm a big fan. I'd read pretty much everything that Michael Crichton had written, including his nonfiction Travels, which is a really cool nonfiction that he wrote about. However, a lot of people don't know his story, but Michael... Went to Harvard undergraduate. And then when he graduated, his father said, where are you going to go? And he said, I want to be a writer.

His father said, don't be ridiculous. So Michael went back and he went to med school. And then he wrote two or three books. I think he'd written some undergraduate under pseudonyms. And when he graduated from med school, he had already written Andromeda Strain and it had sold for a bunch of money. So he never practiced medicine. So he went to med school and never practiced medicine.

At any rate, they came to me with partial manuscript. And I said, would you like to finish this? I don't know. Let me read what he wrote. I read it and I went, oh, yeah, there's a cool, there were like two ticking clocks. One was potentially the worst volcano ever to happen in the Hawaiian Islands. And then there was something even worse buried on this island.

So there were two clocks saying, well, yeah, this would be cool. And he hadn't laid out at all, like what was going to happen at a volcano or the other thing. But I love the idea of finishing because it was a good story and I wanted to know what the hell was going to happen at the end. But also, I hadn't really written anything with a lot of science in it.
