Game of Thrones

[AdmiralDigby]

I started GoT last week and am at the part where Ned kills Lady .

Coincidentally, so am I. But I've been reading it off and on (mostly off) for about three months. I keep forgetting where I left off, but I'm sticking with it. I really want to finish the book and and start the next one before the second season starts.

Clash of Kings and Storm of Swords are "knocked out of the park" good .
I'm really looking forward to April .
I just wish HBO'd dedicate 12+ episodes instead of 10 .

2 or three extra eps would give the writers a little breathing for sure.

Indeed .
It'd also give us a few moar characters too ....

GRRM is overwhelmed.

Sorry, but I need to vent.

I am being nibbled to death by mice.

And this morning a elephant landed on me.

*gurgle*

There are not enough hours in the day. There are not enough days in the week. There are not enough weeks in the year. Sometimes it feels as if I work all day every day, only to wind up further behind by the time the sun goes down, as more mice come swarming through the cracks and more elephants come lumbering through the doors.

I really really really need to learn to say No.

No, I will not come to your convention, thanks for asking.

No, I will not read your manuscript/ galley proof/ book, but good luck with that.

No, I will not write a story for your anthology, I am a year behind writing stories for my own anthologies.

No, I will not write a preface/ introduction/ foreword for your book.

No, I will not do an interview.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Such a simple word. Such a short word. Why do I have such trouble uttering it?

Once I give my word to attend a con/ write a story/ do an interview, I feel honor bound to deliver, to follow through, to make good my promise. But I give my word too often and too easily, I need to realize that. I do, I do, I DO realize that... on an intellectual level, but maybe not in my gut. And so while my brain is saying, "you can't do that, you do not have the time," my lips are saying, "sure, love to, sounds great."

I need to remember my mantra. One page at a time. One word at a time. One chore at a time. You cannot do everything today. Put out the biggest fire, the rest will still be burning tomorrow. No. No. No.

*sigh*

Thank you for listening. This too will pass. Tomorrow it won't seem so overwhelming.

Excuse me, I need to go step on some mice.

End of venting.

GRR is a bad monkey dancer .
I shout "Dance monkey dance!"

And he doesn't finish the next book but still kills someone .


Bummer

[TinkTanker]

And he doesn't finish the next book but still kills someone .

If he didn't kill so many characters, maybe he wouldn't have to invent so many new ones.

Okay, so I'm a little slow on a few obvious connections GRRM made.
Just today learned [spoiler]that "Bran" means "raven".[/spoiler]
A little thing that doesn'tmean much, just gave me a Ah Ha moment.  But I did feel a little stupid for not catching it before
