I architect a greenhouse.
Songs?
This begining made me want a game of thrones audiobook narrated by him.
Robert E Howard is an underrated writer. His prose are just breathtakingly beautiful and visceral.
Brandon Sanderson is the architect
It is funny how George Martin's idea of what an architect does is completely detached from reality. As a "real" architect (one that designs buildings not computer systems) I have to say that George Martin has absolutely no idea how an architect actually works and also doesn't seem to know what an architect does. The blueprint is the outcome of the architect’s work and so is the writer manuscript. The architect does not build the buildings and the writer does not print the books. Hence, for this metaphor to be true the work of an architect would be to plan the plan.
Anyone else come here sometimes just to hear that first bit? It brings me peace.
That sword and sworcery books font is so nice. Make the book cooler. Did I drink coffee today? I drank tea, this I know.
