One of the big breakthroughs, I think for me, was reading Robert A. Heinlein's four rules of writing, one of which was, 'You must finish what you write.' I never had any problem with the first one, 'You must write' - I was writing since I was a kid. But I never finished what writing.

comfort
I would choose freedom over comfort every time.
wind promise blunt
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
long storm lord
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile; he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.
