Decided to do #NaNoWriMo this year entirely on a whim. Only made it about halfway to 50k, but unlike all the years that I finished before, I'm really pleased with where this story is headed and plan to stick with it beyond this sprint.

Actually. Just realized there were 37 returns on "heartbeat" (singular) for the entire trilogy. So that's like 12 times per book. Mabe it was an editorial mandate and Andor's "No more than 12" is actually a reference to that

Look we gotta give him credit for paring it down from "a handful of heartbeats" in the first half of the book to just "a pair" for most of the rest.
Tho he does put in one more "handful" near the end. As a treat

Fell into a bit of a slump!
But I finished my yearly re-reads of The Locked Tomb as we carry on through alectopause. I kept their ratings off this summary because they are implied 5-star reads.

Anticipating every Murderbot book to be five stars from me.
Just Add Writer got me out of a (personal) writing slump. Really helpful and insightful read.
And WOW, My Death... Don't have the words or space to rave about this one at length. Lisa Tuttle is so special to me.
