dad thinking ideas
I've got an idea for a modern day faerie tale that I think would made a great short novel. But I just don't have the time to work on it right now. I'm way too busy with the 'Kingkiller Chronicles' and being a new dad.
thinking names smoking
85% of modern music doesn't have a damn thing to do with music. It has to do with looking good. Name me one woman on the top ten right now who isn't absolutely smoking hot. You think that's a coincidence?
ego important wicked
She was a wicked thing sometimes. All full of want. As if the shape of the world depended on her mood. As if she were important.
magic
Science is just magic with better PR.
kind troublesome
A troublesome question? Those tend to be the only whorthwhile kind.
lying believe skills
I believe a writer's most important skill lies in being able to see things from different perspectives.
pain mind faculty
Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain.
numbers crowds matter
After a certain point is reached the numbers cease to matter, and all that remains is the faceless mass of a crowd.
giving pieces dues
When someone tells you a piece of their life, they're giving you a gift, not granting you your due.
thinking way stories
The framed tale is, in my opinion, one of the most natural ways to tell a story. If you think of it, the conceit of the frame-less story is actually the odd way of doing things. Without the frame, how do you know the context for a story?
forever lasts rust
Metal rusts, music lasts forever.
interesting people dying
You can have an interesting story about a person living an interesting life. And if it's done well, that is just as engaging as the end of the world. A million people dying - we can't process. One person, we can process.
kings book half
Half a King is my favorite book by Joe Abercrombie so far, and that's saying something.
speak firm believer
I'm honestly not a big fan of pitching things. I'm a firm believer of letting the product speak for iteself.
