Every flight begins with a fall.

The only game. The game of thrones.

Every flight begins with a fall.

I hate outlines. I have a broad sense of where the story is going; I know the end, I know the end of the principal characters, and I know the major turning points and events from the books, the climaxes for each book, but I don't necessarily know each twist and turn along the way. That's something I discover in the course of writing and that's what makes writing enjoyable. I think if I outlined comprehensively and stuck to the outline the actual writing would be boring.

The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling. (Varys)

Only a fool humbles himself when the world is so full of men eager to do that job for him. (Theon Greyjoy)

Women do not forget. Women do not forgive.
