My recent month's efficiency in novel writing reminded me of the iconic pie chart by fantasy author @joeabercrombie.com
Made more difficult by an 8-hour, brain-draining job, and instead of Bioshock, meaningless social media junkie stuff.
Could I ask for a bit of self-discipline from someone?

I watched 158 episodes across various series.
My favorites:
For All Mankind – Season 4
Shōgun (I loved the adaptation from the 80s, but this one was amazing in its own way)
Arcane – Season 2
Baby Reindeer
Masters of the Air (not as good as Band of Brothers but still pretty solid)

Nemrég egy beszélgetés során felmerült egy látszólag egyszerű kérdés, hogy mik a kedvenc science fiction regényeim.
És eltűnődtem, mi lenne, ha készítenék egy TOP15- kedvenc sci-fi listát?
Íme (hírlevél formátum, ha tetszik, fel tudsz rá iratkozni!;))

OMG, the Arcane finale on Netflix...
Pure audiovisual and emotional perfection, words can't fully capture this experience. For me, it felt very similar to what I experienced as a child watching Star Wars in the cinema for the first time.

If you are interested in European/Hungarian speculative fiction novels/short stories, here it is an informative article about three famous Hungarian authors (a fantasy, a sci-fi, and a weird/horror author). One of them is me, btw.
