More from George R. R. Martin

“Every writer has something to teach you, for good or ill. (And yes, you can learn from bad books as well as good ones — what not to do).”
“The most important thing for any aspiring writer, I think, is to read! And not just the sort of thing you’re trying to write, be that fantasy, SF, comic books, whatever. You need to read everything.”
“I end each chapter with a cliffhanger, resolution, a turn, a reveal, a new wrinkle ... something that will make you want to read the next chapter of that character.”
“It doesn't matter what the scene is. You can see it and you can hear it, but you're still staring at a blank screen. That's the nuts and bolts of writing.”
“I've never been a fast writer, and I've never been good with deadlines.”
