So many series get bogged down in later books by having to involve every character ever named and bringing them up to date. I love the way you've avoided this in the Curse of Chalion series. And we've seen Miles from birth to Count, so even as a fan, I'm not sure I'd want more. But are you working on a new series, or is this a forbidden question?
Lois McMaster Bujold
There are no forbidden questions as such, though some may get more satisfactory answers than others.
I am not working on a new series at this time.
Should I have anything new to announce (winters in Minnesota are long, dark, cold, and conducive to indoor activities, after all), I would make a blog post. However, as I am not one of those people who counts up their clicks (why, for pity's sake?), I'm not much into teasing. If there is something firm to say, I'll just say it.

Hello again! I have a question about Ivan. I seem to recall reading somewhere that your characters had quite decided personalities and so writing with them was an adventure, not always what you expected. Did you always know that Ivan was quite bright, even when he seemed to be Ivan-you-idiot? Or did he grow into that as he matured? I liked him very much by the later books, but not as much in the beginning. TY :)

I remember you having Miles say of Cordelia that she has conquered the will to be stupid (a paraphrase as I am too lazy to find it right now). I came across a rather shallow article discussing one aspect of stupidity: https://psyche.co/ideas/why-some-of-the-smartest-people-can-be-so-very-stupid Have you encountered any similar articles?
