This question is answered at length in Sidelines: Talks and Essays https://www.amazon.com/Sidelines-Essa... (also on Nook and iBooks), in an essay titled "My First Novel". I see I wrote it in 1990, which means I was remembering events way better than I would if I attempted to retype it all out today, nearly 3 decades later.

...Goodness, that edition might could use a little tidying. I haven't looked at it for ages. The context notes seem to fall at the ends of prior essays, not at the start of the next as they should. Well, we'll see how bored I get this winter.

Hi Lois, I've just started reading your Vorkosigan books (only 2 so far) but I absolutely love them. I'm the type of person that really enjoys looking up the reading order of long series and tackling them as the author intended, I've read your recommendation here on goodreads and appreciate the clarification from you. I have a 2 part question (EDIT character limit please see following separate messages)?

Thank you for all the laughs and tears from your many books. I see from this thread that nothing new will be added to the Vorkosigan universe, so I look forward to your new directions. Can you tell us about your systems as an author - what is your work life like and how do you create your new contexts? One of the aspects I love to you as a writer is your variety and depth - any secrets to share as a writer?
