I'll take one of his houses, and a year of his pay, then retire.
Glad he found time to write a companion guide.
he is stressing me out! I don't even visit his blog any longer.
But no new books this year

Don't watch the show, but yeah, they found a perfect Mountain. Dude broke a weightlifting record dating back to Viking legends.

It's also a joke twitter account, not the real GRRM.
Original pitch letter for A Song of Ice and Fire leaked
Apparently contains info such as who are (or rather, were going to be) the key players in the series, who survives, who dies, etc.
I'm worried that I won't be able to keep myself from reading all those spoilers
Luckily, a few things are probably outdated (the one paragraph I did read in that link certainly was, describing romantic relationships that don't have a chance of happening)

Based on the love triangle in that article i'm gonna assume there was no Liana Stark in the plans at that time, and you-know-who was straight up that guy that was supposed to have died but might not have, or might be a distantly related pretender faking it...Original pitch letter for A Song of Ice and Fire leaked

I know @GasBandit hates it, but I really dig that hairstyle.
Although she did that for her part in Mockingjay, not for the hell of it.
Gotta side with Gassy on this, sorry. Beautiful woman, but for heaven's sake keep your hair combed over 'till it's grown back
Don't care, still like it.
I saw George R.R. Martin on campus a couple weeks ago. A&M's library was receiving its five millionth volume, so he handed over a 1st edition Hobbit. He even read the ending to the Hobbit out loud, which was a real treat.
He gave a speech about how he got into fantasy books as a kid. He said that the Lord of the Rings books were not allowed on paperback in the US at first. Something about copyright laws between the UK and US. He couldn't afford the hardcover. Somehow, an American publisher found a shady loophole and printed them in paperback. He bought a copy of Fellowship of the Ring and almost stopped reading after a couple hours because of Tom Bombadil. But he toughed it out and burned through the rest of the book. Then he got to the end and realized he didn't have Two Towers. At that point, he turned to the audience and asked, "do you people have any idea how difficult and agonizing it is to wait so long for the next book?"
