The best writing advice I had was [in] ‘Heinlein’s Rules for Writers’ by (American science fiction author) Robert A. Heinlein. His first rule is that you must write, and I was already doing that, but his second rule is, ‘You must finish what you write,’ and that had a big impact on me.

George R. R. Martin
Weese, she would whisper, first of all. Dunsen, Chiswyck, Polliver, Raff the Sweetling. The Tickler and the Hound. Ser Gregor, Ser Armory, Ser Ilyn, Ser Meryn, King Joffrey, Queen Cersei.
George R. R. Martin
Nobody is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way Viserys said they smiled for my father. (Daenerys)
George R. R. Martin
As a writer, my goal, (which I'm never going to achieve, and I know that, and no writer can achieve that,) but my goal is to make you almost live the books. I want you to fall through that page and feel as if these things are happening to you.
George R. R. Martin
She had killed him with a whisper, and she would kill two more before she was through. I’m the ghost in Harrenhal, she thought. And that night, there was one less name to hate.
George R. R. Martin
They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of wine are oft disowned in the morning light.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
The cable makers are the ones who are willing to take risks and do something original and push the envelope some.
George R. R. Martin
