The time's come again — I need to take a writing break. This is not a bad thing, it's just part of the creative process. Episode 1180 will be published on December 13, 2024 and then I will be taking several months to recharge my writing batteries. But don't worry. I have the general plan for the next hundred episodes and beyond. If all goes well, you can expect the next new episode (1181) sometime around April 2025.
