========================================
Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty without waking.
Cooler.
Mostly sunny.
Highs in the lower 70s.
West winds 5 to 15 mph.
Gusts up to 30 mph in the afternoon.
A pleasantly cool morning, with beautiful light.
Finished reading the first Murderbot novella this morning after waking.
Fun enough that I immediately bought the second novella.
Twenty-minute walk in the morning.
Head a blue jay.
Saw several gold finches and a pair of crows.
Heard crickets and squirrels in the woods.

> Can you recommend your favourite science fiction short story of all time?
> I love “Fandom for Robots” by Vina Jie-Min Prasad. I also love Jessica Reisman’s short stories, and actually did an introduction for her recent short story collection.
> What author(s) would you cite as your biggest influence?
> Andre Norton, Judith Tarr, Tanith Lee, Phylliis Gotlieb, Janet Kagan, Diane Duane, to name a few.
> Can you recommend other authors that write sci-fi similar to your own?
> I don’t know if they’re particularly similar to the way I write, but I love Ann Leckie, Lois McMaster Bujold, Yoon Ha Lee, Suzanne Palmer (Finder and Driving the Deep), Tade Thompson (Rosewater), Melissa Scott (Finders), Arkady Martine (A Memory Called Empire), Karen Lord (The Best of All Possible Worlds) and Aliette de Bodard (The Tea Master and the Detective).
> What existing media comes closest to The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, a favorite of Muderbot? I had always envisioned one of those historical K-dramas (but in spaaaaace).
>It’s based loosely on nighttime mystery/dramas, like How To Get Away With Murder. There is a show mentioned in Network Effect that’s more based on a K-drama.
> If Murderbot were on this world, what media do you think it would re-watch to calm down?
> The Great British Baking Show. :)
