Honestly if you were GRRM, would you write?

Dunno. Were I in my sunset years and a freshly-minted celebrity, writing would probably take a back seat to enjoying myself. I just wouldn't waddle around saying the books are a priority or insisting conventions and appearances are work.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
The 'I have to take my time to do it well' argument has to confront the fact that he wrote the three good books really fast and the two bad books really slowly.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I don't understand why he ran off like that. Aren't walrus' thick layers of blubber supposed to insulate them? :confused:

You'd also want to get a haircut amd lose the beard. Get less goofy glasses. Lose the suspenders. Heck, get some clothes that don't lool like they haven't beem washed for a year. Lose the hat.

His beard baffles me. How can he look at his wispy, disgusting pube-beard and think "yes, this is how I want to present myself"? It's not hiding his watery jowls at all, which is usually why fat dudes grow a beard. If he just grabbed a clipper, set it 7/8", and went to town, I think he'd look better. And get some more modern glasses; dude looks like he wishes he were Bruce Boxleitner in Tron.

Breaking both ankles would probably force him to actually write something. Or at least give him time to watch Misery and write a horribly descriptive account of Theon being hobbled.

GRRM must have been seething. Publically shamed at the Emmys instead of fellated for his unparalleled, American Tolkien genius?

Only you can he not forgive, Al. :ssj:


Incidentally, if you ever want to piss off people on Imgur, just talk about how Emilia Clarke isn't particularly hot or a good actress. (You know, tell the truth.) Angry wannabe Ser Jorahs will pour out of the woodwork to passive-aggressively tell you how deeply wrong you about their perfect Valyrian waifu.

Or just cgi the nipples!

They'll probably just shoot and edit it some clever way. Maybe show the church doors opening from outside and then change the angle to behind her walking out the door (of a different building).
