Interviewer: Can you give us an example of a character who stole the story and drove it in their own direction?
George: In the first book, there was a crucial point where an assassin tries to kill Bran in his bed, and he's defeated, and they get this very unusual dagger. The Stark family by then has split because Ned Stark has gone south with the king, and he's taken with him his two daughters, while Catelyn Stark, his wife, is still at Winterfell with her sons Robb, Bran, and Rickon, and many of the family retainers. There is a scene where they meet, and my intention was that Catelyn would send a messenger with the dagger to Ned in King's Landing to try to unroll this difficulty. But as I sat down and wrote this scene, I thought, 'Catelyn wouldn't do it. Someone had tried to kill her child. She wouldn't send a letter and take this minor character as the messenger. That was something she was going to do herself.' That threw me for a bit of a loop because, in my original thought, she was remaining at Winterfell, kind of as the ruler of the North. But some part of me knew the character better than the part that had done that initial plotting. I don't really believe in this mystical stuff you hear some authors talk about — the characters talking to us, saying things. It's really one part of your mind talking to another part of your mind. It's all coming from the author. Maybe it's a right-brain/left-brain kind of thing, but whatever is the creative part of the brain is not necessarily the analytical part, and it knows better sometimes. The analytical part may devise plots, but the creative part is the one that gives the heart and soul to the characters.

i would like to be able to say that the world has been a better place ever since supernatural ended. but that is obviously not true
were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.
I’d say “jeez can two people not be friends anymore?” and then I’d give one of them amnesia in which they only recognize the other above anyone else
Buck is literally a fucking meme. he's like LOVE? um I'm not in LOVE with Eddie. do I feel a torturous imbalance and chasm in my soul and my life and at work without him? I mean yeah. can I not fall asleep in his house or bring myself to unpack after weeks because it evokes a deep fear in me to accept he is really gone and I reject that concept down to the marrow? sure. do I bring him up in every topic of conversation to the point people are genuinely fucking sick of me. ok yes! maybe so! but I'm not in LOVE with him??????? he's straight
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

“weird and unhealthy relationship that cant be categorized neatly as sexual or romantic or platonic but has a defining air of devotion and obsession to it” wins sound of the summer for the 13th year in a row
one of the most boring lessons I’ve learned is that when a task feels overwhelming, you just have to start doing it. Even if you’re not sure how to do 90% of it, look for one small component that seems close and start there. Sometimes it’s reading one article on the topic, or searching one related term, or literally just googling how to do the task. Do anything other than thinking about it. The process of working on a thing inherently makes it less scary.
