Posted the first chapter of my new-still-in-development novel and, according to I Write Like...well, see above.

Not sure how much stock you want to put in a gadget on the Internet ....but it made me smile.

Chapter two and three had me shifting gears...

and chapter four just got strange...

At that point I thought it was safer just to stop.

It's the little touches....

And another season of Game of Thrones comes to a brilliant and bloody denouement...

One of the things that George R.R. Martin and the writing crew at HBO do extremely well are short, deliberative scenes that illuminate and deepen specific characters, their relationships and their choices so very, very deftly.  This season has a number of scenes that have been superbly illustrative of this fact and I'm not referring to the jarring horror of the Red Wedding.  Here are a few of the scenes that make Game of Throne one of the very best shows to grace our screens in a very long time...starting with my personal favorite moment from Season 3.


Tyrion takes a seat

Dinner with Bolton

Jamie & Brianne and the Kingslayer's bathtime

Accounting with Oleanna

Meeting new people....

and killing them...

and lastly, more of the Tyrion and Bronn banter.

Not sure if I can wait another nine months for the next fix...
