Lois McMaster Bujold:
Have you ever written a play or script? (We were discussing your works over dinner last night, and one topic that came up was how "Mountains of Mourning" would make an excellent stage play.)
Lois McMaster Bujold
No, no plays or scripts from me. It's a different medium from novels and short stories, etc., so I'd have to retrain, which I am presently too lazy to do. More cogently, to achieve any kind of performance and reach an audience, it requires working together with people in groups.
A mainstream novel I read once had the memorable line, discussing the pleasures of life, "It takes two to make love, but eating you can do alone." I would add writing fiction to that list.

Mind if I make a comment? Two of the joys of my life have been introducing the VSaga to my now-adult son and having a shared shorthand for expressing ideas, and introducing the series to my husband! Having run out of paperback editions for him to read (I blame my son..) we started listening to the audiobooks whenever we're in the car together. What a delightful way to spend quality time!

Dear Ms. Bujold, Hope you don't mind information rather than a question? I thought you might enjoy this Washington Post article, as what is happening with maggots is remarkably similar to your Butter Bugs idea in the Vorkosigan Saga: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/07/03/maggots-could-revolutionize-global-food-supply-heres-how/ Sincerely, Brad Berens
