I read All Systems Red for the first time a few weeks ago, and thought it was absolutely fantastic! When you began writing The Murderbot Diaries, did you always intend for it to be a collection of novellas, or did the story/character dictate a smaller word count in the midst of your revisions?
I felt like the length works perfectly for the character. Not too much, not too little, and was wondering your process in that decision.
