Re-reading them as an adult, some of the politics are... hm... interesting... but I'm such a sucker for an expanded universe and the nostalgia factor is strong

Weirdly though, although Robert Heinlein has my favourite universe, both my favourite standalone books are by James P Hogan

(4/4)Actually, potentially a loss, because I'm a night owl and function better in the evening.

I just wish there was more advice for writing around a busy life, that's all

(2/4) I can essentially close my work laptop and open my personal one on those days

Staying off social media at 8am won't make me more productive in that scenario

Next week I have a day of Annual Leave from work, and not much planned on the weekend, so my goal is even higher. Let's see, shall we?

(I never did NaNoWriMo because the goal seemed insanely high to me, and also it just never happened to line up with where I was in the writing process - autistic over literal interpretation of the rules, I was never ready to *start* a new book on 1st Nov)
