I can see a scene in my head, and when I try to get it down in words on paper, the words are clunky; the scene is not coming across right. So frustrating. And there are days where it keeps flowing. Open the floodgates, and there it is. Pages and pages coming. Where the hell does this all come from? I don't know. George R. R. Martin clunkycomeday share on social
There are writers, and I know some of them, who are very disciplined. Who write, like, four pages a day, every day.

The prejudice is still there, but it's breaking down. You have writers like Michael Chabon and The Yiddish Policemen's Union. He's a writer who's determined to break down genre barriers. He's done amazing things. George R. R. Martin amazebarrierbreak share on social
I have files, I have computer files and, you know, files on paper. But most of it is really in my head. So God help me if anything ever happens to my head! George R. R. Martin computerfilegod Change image and share on social
Whether you're a history buff or a fantasy fan, Druon's epic will keep you turning pages. This was the original game of thrones. If you like 'A Song of Ice and Fire', you will love 'The Accursed Kings'. George R. R. Martin accursedbuffdruon share on social
I have many books that I want to write; I'd like to think that I'll be around for another 20 years or so and write another dozen novels, probably some sort of imaginative literature... Never again another seven-volume saga. George R. R. Martin bookdozenimaginative share on social
