hero fighting winning
My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight.
taken heart writing
I've always taken that as my guiding principle and the rest is just set dressing. You can have dragons in it, or aliens and starships, or a western about a gunslinger, or even literary fiction, and ultimately you're still writing about the human heart in conflict with itself.
wall drunk wonder
I wonder what the High Septon would have to say about the sanctity of oaths sworn while dead drunk, chained to a wall, with a sword pressed to your chest?
wine great-wine best-wine
Wine makes all things possible.
careers different needs
It's different for every writer. It's not a career for anyone who needs security. It's a career for gamblers. It's a career of ups and downs.

Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.
sleep night giving
Give me honorable enemies rather than ambitious ones, and I'll sleep more easily by night.

Those are brave men... lets go kill them

Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence.
flames shadow casts
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
graves clash-of-kings
He who hurries through life hurries to his grave.
